Konstantinos Mitsigkolas

I was born in 1984, in a small city of the northern Greece, called Naoussa. At a very young age, started learning music, taking piano and music's theory lessons. At the age of 18 started my classical guitar studies, with the famous guitarist, soloist and teacher Mr. Thanos Mitsalas and at the same time studied Education, Philosophy and Psychology in the University of Ioannina - Greece. Finished my Bachelor in guitar performance, with the highest mark 10/10 and achieved my degree in Music's Harmony with the rate of 9,7/10. After entrance examinations, I entered the National Conservatory of Greece to realize a Masters in music performance and classical guitar again with Mr Thanos Mitsalas, which I attended with full scholarship and completed my studies at 2013 with a rate of 9,5/10.

During all my studies years, I followed many Master Classes, Seminars and several Classical guitar festivals, with important soloists and teachers, such as:

L. Brouwer, C. Cotsiolis, S. Assad, O. Assad, A. Desiderio, Z. Dukic, R. Gallen, R. Aussel, S. Prieto, A. Mouzourakis, M. Kontaxakis, F. Koutsothodoros, T.M. Pering, M. Dylla, A. Eickholt, H. Kappel and S. Vlaskalic.

In 2017, I had the huge honor to participate as a guest to the International Guitar Festival of Volos, as a guest professor, directed by Mr. Costas Cotsiolis.

As a performer, I am active giving concerts of solo guitar or participating in chamber music assembles.

As a professor, I started teaching in 2008, in public and private conservatories in Greece.

Since then, I gathered great experience, teaching all levels of guitar pupils, from the very beginners to advanced and senior students.

I would be happy to cooperate with anyone that's interested in classical guitar and guide you to the beautiful world of technical and musical expression through that magnificent instrument.

I have a very structured curriculum, consisted of a variety of studies, repertoire pieces and technic exercises for students of each level.

But as every good educator should do, I adjust to the needs of every individual, trying to help him evolve and develop on the technical demands and artistic expression of the guitar.

As far as the really young students, I believe that the most important thing is to help them develop a love for the music in general, with all the benefits that the artistic education beholds. So by learning to play easy and beautiful melodies, they develop their musical understanding, general sensitivity and aesthetics and gradually they are becoming ready to participate as more mature students in the vast world of musical education.

I have a great experience with students of all levels and I would be happy to cooperate with anyone, from the very beginners to the more advanced students, trying to inspire and provide solutions.
