Classical guitar and music theory lessons by a qualified teacher from the Conservatory

Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses.

Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels).

My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing.

Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique.

The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible.

I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar.

Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality.

References on request

Follow up by email/phone as needed between lessons.

Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Passionate about music, but also about teaching it in a way that is both motivating and effective, I enjoy offering courses in the artistic fields that I master best.

Experienced in the organization of individual or group lessons, this activity is a pleasure for me, and I practice it with an enthusiasm which, most of the time, is contagious.

Do not hesitate to send me a little message after the course of my ads. :-)

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Organization of dozens of photography courses and hundreds of shots, with a specialty in complex techniques (motion capture, abstract art photography, photography with video projection lighting).

Organization of drawing lessons (pencil / colored pencil)

Guitar lessons and animation of musical games with several instruments.
With 10 years of experience in photographic training, both individual and in groups, I propose to complete the existing offer with original and specific courses. Already acclaimed by students of all levels, from complete beginners to seasoned professionals wishing to deepen their knowledge or add new styles to their range, my classes focus on: - Movement photography - Portrait photography, with particular attention paid to Light and its modeling - to the realization of abstract photography, using as subject any element (artificial waves, refraction, lightpainting...)
Learn to make drawings/sketches with pencil and graphite (9H to 12B). Each session will allow you to discover and practice a specific technique. Between two sessions, targeted exercises will allow you to progress in a measurable way, in small steps. In drawing, there are no miracles: it is practice, training, perseverance, which are the sources of progress. All materials will be provided to you (pencils, papers). During the first session, a series of examples of my creations will offer you a concrete overview of the techniques and styles that I can help you master.
Music theory lessons, for children (from 9 years old) and adults. Passionate about music theory and music theory, I would be happy to share with you my enthusiasm for music theory, so unfairly devalued, due to the sometimes brutal methods with which it is taught. In the program : - reading notes (treble clefs, C clefs, F clefs) - reading rhythms (quarter notes, eighth notes, double / triple / quadruple eighth notes, triplets and other dotted notes) - dictation of notes (training your ear takes time, but when the exercises are "tailor-made" and progressive, you progress faster) - dictation of rhythms Do not hesitate to tell me the context of your request (competition preparation, repurposing of instruments, exams, etc.). The course durations offered are deliberately short to encourage maximum concentration. It will be essential to prepare the exercises offered between classes, to progress in a way that gives you satisfaction and nourishes your motivation. Classes available in English as well.
Through an approach based on my personal experience and the cases that I have already treated, I offer you: - a (free) one-hour session, intended to learn about your personal/professional context - if I judge that I am able to contribute to an improvement in your situation, according to criteria defined by you, we will plan the coaching sessions Self-confidence, once it is (re)found, is projected onto all aspects of our life. Personal, emotional well-being, or what we project in a professional context. It is based on a set of mechanisms, interdependent themes (physical form, sleep, diet, the structure of our time, our habits, the way we manage our relationships, our passions, etc.) . My approach is not therapeutic, I will only focus on the elements of which I have effective experience and will direct you, if necessary, towards professionals able to take care of the elements requiring a specific approach/therapist. I attach absolute importance to the confidentiality of our discussions, and will always leave you the initiative to schedule the next session.

Guitar workshops: personalized lessons / private training
Folk or classical acoustic guitar. The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation. For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...). For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...). Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. 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.
