Play with Ease — A Two-Part Guitar Masterclass Series

Dear Reader,

First of all, I wish you a wonderful New Year and I’m very happy to invite you to a special two-part online masterclass, which I will be teaching together with Valeria Galimova.

Valeria is an expert in physiology, muscle work, and coordination. Together we developed two masterclasses that are not only practical, but also realy eye-opening. Our motivation is simple and deeply personal: we want to help guitarists stop fighting their instrument and finally experience ease, clarity, and trust in their own playing.

You are very welcome to join us live or to watch the recording of those classes:

In the first masterclass, we explore anatomy, biomechanics, and physiology in the context of guitar playing.

What you will gain:

• The ability to recognize where and why tension appears in your playing
• Clear physical strategies to reduce overload in fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders
• More stable finger movement and cleaner articulation
• Improved coordination that supports longer practice without fatigue
• A noticeable feeling of lightness and reliability at the instrument

Through clear explanations and shared practical exercises, you will learn how to find optimal posture, hand positions, finger movement, and muscle coordination to create a real sense of ease.

These two masterclasses belong together. The second part is crucial for turning physical understanding into a lasting solution. Here we explore how the brain learns movements, how habits are formed, and how stress affects both body and mind.

What you will gain:

• A clear understanding of how the brain creates (or blocks) physical ease
• Insight into why mental pressure immediately changes muscle coordination
• Tools to prevent stress from undoing technical work
• More stable focus and confidence while playing
• A stronger connection between mind, body, and musical expression

Details: On January 24th and February 7th, 2026 at 6 p.m. CET· with Tatyana Ryzhkova and Valeria Galimova · 75 minutes each · Live on Zoom · Recording included · Practical exercises

I am very much looking forward to those two events and hope to help you find answers and discover your way to having joy and ease while playing guitar.

Warmly,
Tatyana
