About Me

I'm Loukas, originally from Greece, where I started my musical journey at the age of six, taking my first guitar lessons from my father. Growing up, guitars were everywhere in the house, so following the strings felt completely natural. At 14, I began studying with virtuoso guitarist Michalis Kontaxakis, one of Greece's most influential guitarists, and continued under his guidance until 2022, graduating with a Diploma in Classical Guitar . In 2015, I also earned a Diploma in Music Harmony.

From 2010, I expanded my musical world by playing electric guitar, taking drum lessons, and forming bands with friends, exploring different styles and performing live. In 2022, I started my Bachelor's in Classical Guitar at the Royal Conservatorium in The Hague with Enno Voorhorst, and in 2025, I started my Master's in Classical Guitar at the Conservatorium Maastricht with Carlo Marchione.

I've been teaching guitar since 2018, and since 2025 I've been working as a band coach at Wijkmuziekanten . My teaching focuses on each student's individual goals and interests, helping them balance essential techniques with the music they love. I love creating a safe, supportive environment where students can grow, gain confidence, and find their own voice through music.

As a performer, Loukas has given solo recitals in Greece and the Netherlands, played in charity concerts, and participated in a variety of musical projects. He has performed in ensembles including guitar quartets and octets, guitar–flute and guitar–trombone duos, rock and blues bands, and guitar–voice duos covering styles from country and rock to pop and jazz. He also has followed courses in avant-garde music. For Loukas, the most rewarding part of music is sharing the joy of playing and helping others express themselves through it.

Musical Heritage

I grew up in a family deeply rooted in music and education. My father, a guitarist and owner of a music school, instilled a love for both performance and teaching. My mother founded a dance school, which is now run by my sister, fostering a creative environment where artistic expression was valued from an early age.

Being surrounded by music and education shaped I own teaching philosophy, lessons that are structured yet creative , emphasising both technical skill and personal expression. From a young age, I experienced the collaborative side of music, participating in ensembles, student projects, and performance opportunities that encouraged teamwork and artistic growth.

This heritage continues to influence my work today, blending tradition and modern approaches to guide each student on their own musical journey.
