Zachary Brooks
Zak Brooks is an English guitarist, singer, and songwriter who brings real-world experience and infectious passion to his lessons. A graduate of ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem (Jazz & Pop, Guitar), Zak has performed widely across the Netherlands as the frontman of the funk-rock band Magic Bullet, known for their high-energy shows at venues such as Luxor Live, Valkhof Festival, and Merleyn Nijmegen.
In his lessons, Zak focuses on developing solid technique while inspiring creativity and musical confidence. He encourages students to explore their own sound, whether through learning songs, improvising, or writing original music. His approach is rooted in the real world of making music: energetic, expressive, and always connected to the joy of playing.
Zak offers lessons in:
- Electric & Acoustic Guitar all levels
- Songwriting from lyric ideas to finished songs
The styles Zak teaches include pop, blues, funk, soul, jazz, and folk, and lessons are given in English in a relaxed, inspiring environment at Jacobiberg.
Lessons are given in English, and as a native English speaker and lyricist, Zak can also help students who want to develop their songwriting and lyric-writing skills from crafting melodies and chords to shaping expressive, natural-sounding lyrics in English.
