Music WILL enrich your life, and what is cooler than playing guitar??? (I make learning tons of fun too!)


Fast forward... In over 22 years of teaching I've made it so my students have even more fun and actually learn 10x as much as I did as a kid!

I can barely imagine how much faster I would have progressed if I had a teacher like me...

My students become better musicians by exploring diverse styles like Rock, Blues, Spanish/Latin, African, Gypsy Jazz, and more...

...and they WILL learn to play with some of their favourite songs too!!

We have the technology!! Let's use it! Whether that's videos of me to play along to, or videos of my students playing awesome music (the BEST thing to share with friends and family!) They help students learn, be proud of themselves, and they will make amazing memories many years from now!

My students of all ages learn how to be creative. Improvising, jamming, playing along with recordings/videos, songwriting... such an amazing way to engage parts of the brain that we don't use enough in every day life.

This is all about my student's success, and I'm here to help! You get to deal directly with the teacher, all the time. If you need clarification, you can contact me during the week so you get the most of your music time!

(After a 7 year old's second lesson ever!) "He has already started asking when his next guitar lesson is...I joked with my husband that you have taken on "hero" status in our house..."

"Phill is hands down THE best music instructor. This is the 3rd instrument I am learning. My 8 and 10 year old children are also taking lessons from Phill as well (Grandma just started too!!). He always asks what songs we want to learn, tailors the lessons for our diverse music experience and is always very punctual and organized. His ability to write tab by ear is incredible. After 1.5 years of lessons, my 8 year old daughter was able to confidently play Metallica on the electric guitar for her grade 3 class. They are always excited to see Phill (and add to his growing collection of origami). We have never had any issues booking convenient timeslots for our semesters. Very professional, knowledgable and always friendly.

"This is a review for my 13 year old son who has taken guitar lessons with Phil for 2 years. Phil is an excellent guitar teacher. Joey has had other guitar teachers and found Phil was really good at providing ways for Joey to be able to actually play interesting music right away. Phil has amazing knowledge of possible music options and really got Joey playing recognizable music quickly. This was really motivating for Joey and he got into his lessons much more than his previous experiences. That being said, he still taught the basics and incorporated this into songs that Joey wanted to experiment with. Phil has a sincere passion for teaching guitar and obviously cares a great deal about his students progress. We would recommend his lessons to anyone we know."

MUSIC is one of a gifts to human that we may recognise, enjoy, and appreciate its beauty.

Everyone from different background, different country, language, colour, size, culture, and so on and so on, could enjoy what we call MUSIC. Music transcends boundaries; Global & universal.

For me, growing up, I enjoyed the presence of my music communities. Besides the fact that my close friends were from those music communities, I looked forward, everyday, to be back in those groups sharing music, making music, and laughing together - HAVING FUN! I have had those good memories with me, and now I want to make this environment available for you and/or your children, too.

Good education influences people and shapes their lives; Music, on top of that, transforms heart.

Music has changed me in a good way: my way of thinking, problem-solving skills, perseverance, patience, discipline, work-ethics, work-efficiency, and self control. Music has nurtured me how to handle stress and pressure well, mentally and psychologically.

Arithmeticians could perhaps do math fully with their heart & soul, but generally speaking, not as much as musicians do with their hearts. Even Plato, the great Greek philosopher, believes that good music affects human’s mind and soul. I’m hoping that my students are becoming a more and more balanced human being; to have a finer characters and emotions, also to have a really structured ways of thinking, while spreading the joy of music to the uttermost parts of the world.

This is what I am aiming, and this is why I teach MUSIC; Music is a supplemental food for the soul. Music affects people’s soul. Good music creates good soul.

I’m a picky listener, but I really like Baroque music. And during Baroque period, Italy was the country who made classical music alive. Italy was also the one who make violin an important instrument. Italy has many many great composers from Baroque until today. So, that why I use Italian language, at the first place.

Secondly, CENTRO VIRTUOSO could be translated to 'Virtuoso Centre', and CASA DELLA MUSICA means 'House of Music'. I’m longing to make a place that conserve the great music, a place that produce virtuoso musicians (person with high-skills), and a place that good musician could call it home too; to interact and to make friends with other musicians around them. There’s no point on being a virtuoso on music when one doesn’t have the virtue of a heart as well.

This is a place to educate not only fingers on musical instruments, but also a heart full of virtue towards each other!

If you wanna read the detailed version of my background: you may go here :)

My first teacher trainer for my pre-twinkle and Book 1 was from New Zealand, Val Thorburn and Lynley Culliford. Afterwards, I kept going further with more & more Suzuki Teacher Trainings.

Starting my official teaching in 2009, I have taught students in Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, USA, and Canada.

I have also been teaching online since 2015, and some of my online students are now in Music Conservatory in Asia, Australia, and Europe.

In 2013, I’ve got my Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education from Pelita Harapan University, Indonesia, under the direction of Dr. Tomislav Dimov. Not enough, I then pursued my Master of Music degree in Violin Performance & Pedagogy at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada, under the direction of Dr. Nancy Dahn. I'm grateful I was graduated with a magna cum laude title, for both degrees.

Parents are highly suggested to join into the lesson while it is on-going (for students under the age of 8). There could still be considerations due to particular occasions, for example if the student is independent enough, responsible, and in his/her intermediate / advance level.

Parents will be the student’s teacher at home for the whole week. Please give encouragement and please support your child/children with good atmosphere and environment.

You may take notes during the lesson, so you and your child know what the lesson points are, what is the problem, why is it happening, how to fix it, how to practice at home, and what is expected for the next lesson.

Parents also have to make sure that their child are practicing with good techniques, instead of a destructive ones. The importance of home practicing is repetitions; making habit.

So let’s think this way, student who repeats good techniques will gain habits toward good techniques (excellence); and student who repeats wrong techniques is actually destructing their good habits.

So, highly suggesting parents to come into the lesson, if you have a young child taking lesson.

I'm thanking you for that, as well as your child's thanking you too, I believe.

Mr. Vladimir Basanov began his formal musical training at age 7, studying piano and contrabass. At the age of 16, the Bulgarian government gave him a scholarship to the Academic School of Music and Choreography affiliated to the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, Russia. He studied Ballet, Choreography and Piano and received the First Prize for piano in 1984 and 1985. Back to Bulgaria, Vladimir studied Kaval (the Bulgarian flute) with the world-renown musician Theodosii Spasov and with Nikola Ganshev and played this flute at the Philharmonic Orchestra of Sofia under the direction of conductor Yosif Gerdjikov. Vladimir was the Principal Dancer in the National Opera and Ballet Theatre of Sofia for 11 years. The Bulgarian Ministry of Culture honored him with Outstanding Artistic Achievement in 1991.
