Guitar lessons for all levels and musical interests
Have you or your child always wanted to play but never taken lessons? Do you become frustrated while learning new pieces? Do you want to learn how to play music by ear or from notation?
I am a dedicated classical guitarist with a decade of experience teaching people of all ages and levels. Over the years I've pursued many styles: from Western classical music to Indian classical music, from bluegrass and folk music to popular songs and jazz standards. I'm from New York City where I studied at top conservatories, and my playing has been heard in major concert venues in the US, India, Mexico, Canada, and most recently Belgium. I love working with new students to create a lesson plan tailor-fitted to their musical interests. Let's get playing!
I'm able to host lessons in Leuven, travel to you, or meet via webcam.

Davy
Customised guitar lessons from classical to acoustic and electricMy name is Davy, I am 34 years old and have had the guitar in my fingers for 25 years. I graduated from the Music Academy Tongeren for both classical and electric guitar. In addition, I attended 2 years of Conservatory Jazz at LUCA School of Arts Campus Lemmens Institute. I started teaching in various situations since I was 16, both group lessons and individual lessons on instrument and music theory. Sharing my knowledge with others has always been a great passion. That is why I now offer private lessons tailored to my needs where I live in Leuven. This for both acoustic, classical and electric guitar in a range of styles. What you can expect is not a fixed course that we go over from A to Z, but a course that we build ourselves, as it were, focused on your musical taste, knowledge and goal on your instrument. Together with you, I will look at how I can teach you the necessary basics in a way that you can use it best for the genres you want to learn to play. I look forward to going on this musical journey of discovery with you!
Rosie
Classical guitar lessons for beginner, intermediate, or advanced playersI am passionate about teaching guitar! Over the last 10 years I have been teaching students from ages 7-70 from complete beginners to advanced players with one thing in common - their wish to play guitar more comfortably and have fun while doing it!
I am a classical guitarist with a background in pedagogy, psychology and physiotherapy, my approach - methodical.
While working on the things you want to improve and learn I will also help you develop a deep understanding of the theory and principles that music is built upon. Our lessons will be exploratory and imaginative whilst also underpinned by technical knowledge so that you can enjoy playing comfortably and without pain.
My aim is to get you to where you want to be playing guitar, whether that be for friends at New Year or on the stage at Carnegie Hall!
Tobias
Classical guitar for beginners / several years of guitar experience and for advanced players20 year old student in Leuven who likes to help people get a lot of pleasure / support from playing the classical guitar.
Just graduated after 11 years of conservatory classical guitar.
9 years basic diploma and 2 years specialization classical guitar.
In addition, followed the following courses: music theory / music history / improvisation (this on electric guitar) / band coaching / ensemble playing / rock school ...
Can impart the most on a technical level and in the field of interpretation on the classical guitar.
In consultation with the student during the first lesson, we determine what we want to achieve by the end of the lesson / lesson series.
A particular piece? A new interpretation for a particular piece, a particular genre in which you are looking for a piece and want to learn? Something that always goes wrong? technical help? ..
To get more enjoyment out of playing the guitar!
Eli
Guitar, Bass guitar, Ukulele and Piano lessons (Online or in Leuven)Are you a beginner who has started to learn guitar on his own, and can't see the trees for the wood anymore? Or do you already have some experience and want to learn something new? Then you've come to the right place!
About myself:
I have been playing both guitar and bass guitar for 8 years. I also have a solid foundation in music theory. I took lessons with Kristof Neyens (rock school leuven) for several years, and now I would like to share my experience.
Classes:
Depending on your preference, we can draw up a lesson plan together with individual assignments. I also try to work as much as possible with the genres that you like to listen to yourself, this is of course more motivating (after all, you don't want to try to teach Mozart to a Metal fan ;))
My approach is certainly not like that of the 'music theory' at the academy. From your first lesson you will immediately start playing songs. I only use music theory if it is really necessary or if you would like to delve into it.
Practical:
I follow distance education so I can actually go at any time of the week, online lessons are also a possibility.
If you contact me and tell me which times suit you, we can certainly find a fixed time together!

Electric Guitar, Improvisation, finger style, backtrackingI have been playing electric guitar for 16 years and I was a member of several rock bands before. In my courses, I mostly focus on improvisation over bluesy, jazzy or simple rock chords. For those beginners, I start with some basics until we reach the required level to improvise. By taking the classes, you will learn how to accompany other instruments and enjoy together with other musicians.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.
PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
