Every page on this site has a Markdown version at its URL plus `/index.md`, or send `Accept: text/markdown`. ## Story I’m Oleg Maximov, a professional guitarist and music educator based in Groningen, The Netherlands. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Guitar from Prins Claus Conservatorium, but my real musical education happened on stage – performing, touring, and working full-time as a musician. Since 2016, I’ve been touring internationally aboard Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, P&O, Cunard, Ponant and Princess Cruises, performing everything from solo sets and jazz nights to full-scale theatre productions with singers, dancers, and a full technical crew for audiences of up to 1500 people. That experience taught me what it really means to be a versatile and adaptable player – switching from jazz to rock, or from bossa nova to funk, sometimes all in the same day. In my lessons I share exactly that: a real-world musician’s approach. We’ll go beyond technique and theory and focus on how to make music that feels alive – developing your ear, groove, timing, and expressive sound. Each lesson is tailored to your goals: whether you want to learn your first chords, polish your jazz phrasing, or dive deep into harmony and improvisation. I teach in person in Groningen, and also online if you’re based elsewhere. You can choose 30, 45, or 60-minute lessons, depending on your schedule and goals. All ages and levels are welcome — from absolute beginners to advanced players who want to bring their playing to the next level. If you’re ready to grow as a musician and play music that truly moves people, I’ll be happy to guide you along the way. ## Key facts - Teacher: Oleg Maksimov - Based in: New York, New York - Areas served: [New York](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/areas/new-york), [Freeport](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/areas/freeport), [East Meadow](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/areas/east-meadow), [Manhattan](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/areas/manhattan) - Services: [Guitar Lessons](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/lessons) - Locations: [Bryant Park, New York](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/bryant-park-new-york), [Rage House Music, Freeport](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/rage-house-music-freeport), [Arnhold Hall at The New School, New York](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/arnhold-hall-at-the-new-school-new-york), [Washington Square Park, New York](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/washington-square-park-new-york), [Eisenhower Park, East Meadow](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/eisenhower-park-east-meadow), [Play Guitar at NYU, Manhattan](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/play-guitar-at-nyu-manhattan) - Teaches: Kids, Teenagers, Adults, Seniors - Levels: Beginners, Intermediates, Experts - Experience: 20 years playing - Lessons taught: 18+ - Rating: 5.0 out of 5 from 5 ratings - Cancellation: Free up to 24 hours before a lesson - Follow: [Instagram](https://instagram.com/ultraguitarplayer) ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/index.md) - [About](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/about/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/services/index.md) - [Guitar Lessons](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/lessons) - [Lessons in East Meadow](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/areas/east-meadow) - [Lessons in Freeport](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/areas/freeport) - [Lessons in Manhattan](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/areas/manhattan) - [Lessons in New York](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/areas/new-york) - [Eisenhower Park, East Meadow](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/eisenhower-park-east-meadow) - [Rage House Music, Freeport](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/rage-house-music-freeport) - [Play Guitar at NYU, Manhattan](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/play-guitar-at-nyu-manhattan) - [Arnhold Hall at The New School, New York](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/arnhold-hall-at-the-new-school-new-york) - [Bryant Park, New York](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/bryant-park-new-york) - [Washington Square Park, New York](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/locations/washington-square-park-new-york) - [Agent instructions](https://sites.coach/oleg-maksimov/llms.txt) ## Book through the API Oleg Maksimov sells Guitar lessons on this site.
