REVIEWS

I learned a lot of new stuff!

In our lessons with Janis I learned a lot of new stuff, but more importantly, I managed to put many things I already knew in their right place and order, which helped me make better sense of them and also helped me use them as a steady base to develop them more.

Giannis made me realise!

What's good about Giannis is that he knows how to approach you, respecting your personality, level and orientation. It was with his help that I managed to unlock some artistic territories in my mind that I didn't even know existed. 
Eleni S


Janis knows to motivate!

Janis definitely knows how to motivate our children to explore their instruments in a fun way, by prioritizing their expression and personal direction, preferences and characters. - Charis Karkanis (referring to his son Achilleas (guitar) and daughter Katerina (bass)  

Janis is a great teacher!

Janis has this ability of compressing vast knowledge in very small but understandable pieces, thus putting an order in the chaos of music theory and harmony and the possibilities that are hidden in them. He is actually the reason I managed to get accepted in the HKU Conservatory in Utrecht. Stefano A
