Expert Guitar Lessons: All Levels - Beginners to Advanced

Hi, my name is Elijah, I’m a professional and experienced guitarist and teacher. In my lessons, I like to focus my attention on what I consider to be absolute necessities, which would include what I like to call 'street music theory', a sharp sense of rhythm, and a developed musical ear. I also like to focus on more psychological elements such as confidence in the student, presence, and an overall positive attitude.

What’s most important to me is that my students are inspired and always connected to their initial love of music through the guitar. I do this by teaching students their favorite songs as well as studying the nuances behind the songs they love so much. For example, I might ask a student “What’s your favorite part?” and then together we’ll discover why and learn as much as we can from the particular student's own set of songs. After that, their homework might be to compose a melody based on a few of the melodically rich phrases within the song.

This playful and creative method is one example of what I like to call ‘sponging’ because you are literally soaking up your favorite music and using it as a means for your own creative expression and playing style.

With over 15 years of experience playing guitar, writing songs, performing, and producing music and over 6 years of teaching students of all ages, I have been effectively turning beginners into confident guitar players and intermediate players into advanced. My lessons are customized to whatever goals the student wishes to achieve. I have a very quick ear so I can learn almost any song that the student wants to learn on the spot during the lesson and then begin teaching it to the student, which is always fun.

all that being said, It is very important to me that I leave my students with a true sense of relaxed confidence in their instrument so that they can feel the music and express themselves creatively without having to think too much about anything that may otherwise be holding them back. I make sure that all the necessities are covered so that the student gets to a point where they can let loose in their playing and enjoy the creative freedom that they deserve.

About Me

When I was 6 years old I fell in love with music through the Beatles, Let It Be was the first song I learnt on the piano, then I learnt ''house of the rising sun'' at 8 on the guitar and I've been playing, writing and performing original songs ever since.

At 12 I started playing with professionals in bars and cafes. I started a local funk band 'The Lizard Slippers' as songwriter and lead guitarist. In 2016, I studied at Rimon School of Music where I learned ear training and music theory. I studied vocal training with renown Operar teach Rona Israel. In 2023 recieved a certificate from Pluto Studio in sound engineering, mixing, vocal producing and live sound. I currently play lead guitarist, backup vocalist and co-writer in the band Ken Igereth.

My biggest influences are Tom Bukovac, Mark Knopfler, Mick Taylor, The Rolling Stones, Buddy Holly, and The Beatles.

I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge of music with students of all ages and levels. Over the past 7 years I've researched the best and most effective teaching methods and have seen incredible progress with my students.

Education

In 2016 I went and studied Guitar at Rimon School Music and sound engeneering at Pluto Studios in Tel Aviv which included recording, live sound mixing, and producing.

Richard
Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
