Masoud Norouzi

I’m a professional violinist, composer, songwriter, clarinet player and music producer with more than 15 years of experience in music and teaching. I began my musical journey in 2002 with classical and traditional violin and have since developed a professional career combining performance, composition, music production, and teaching. As an instructor, I work with students of different levels and adapt my lessons to their individual goals, musical interests, and experience.

Alongside my teaching career, I have continued my professional work as a violinist, composer, songwriter, and music producer.

My teaching approach is practical and personalized. In guitar lessons, we can work on technique, rhythm, timing, bowing techniques, scales, improvisation, ear training, repertoire, and music theory. For students interested in composition and production, I can also help with songwriting, arranging, harmony, sound selection, recording, and developing an idea into a finished piece. I encourage students to record their playing, listen critically, identify specific problems, and practice with a clear purpose rather than simply repeating exercises.

My teaching approach begins with developing the essential foundations of musicianship, regardless of the student’s preferred musical style. I focus first on ear training, finger strength and technique, and a strong sense of rhythm and timing.

From there, I use short, focused musical licks and exercises to help students develop practical skills. I also create personalized exercises for each student based on their individual weaknesses and goals, rather than giving every student the same.

My goal is to help each student become a more confident, independent, and musical guitarist by working directly on the areas they need to improve.
