WHA WE DO
VINNIE(MA,MISM)
Guitars, Ukulele, Piano, Music Production
In the past 15 years, we worked with hundreds of students of all ages & from all walks of life. Over & over again we noticed that a lot of people, especially adults, neglect their well-being and forget that they are human-beings, not human-doings.
We try to reconnect our students with themselves through the power of music and methods of mindfulness.
Online and in person lessons in Greenwich, SE London.
Vinnie lives and breathes creativity, music & education. As artist STERGIN he was awarded the prestigious ‘Do It Differently Award’ from Help Musicians UK & his projects received support from Arts Council England. Besides teaching he performs with his band Shiny Brain Crayons, creates multimedia projects, works on music commissions & was also lead creative at InHouse records - a social enterprise working with young offenders in the SE.

APPROACH
Sunlight reflection on our wall
The NEUZUGANG APPROACH
Pedro* worked 10 hour days and was very close to a burn-out. We used his guitar lesson to re-connect him to a more mindful experience of life using a mixture of meditation, improvisation, songwriting & learning classical pieces.
Shanice*, a young teenager with OCD & confidence issues, started to write songs with us and her condition and overall well being was positively affected by it.
​
Sam* suffers from anxiety. German was not just a language they wanted to learn but also gave us a chance to throw a bridge to their wellbeing. In Vitamin D, we combine “Deutsch” with actual Vitamin D while walking.
Claire* had the feeling, time was running too fast. Drumming not only was a great valve for her stress but we also introduced her to FIRSTS THIRST.
​
FIRSTS THIRST
is based on studies which found out that time seems to run faster when we are older due to lacking “firsts” in our life. That is why we came up with an-ever growing-list of firsts our students can choose from and enjoy doing each week.
*Although lovely names, we changed their original one's.
