Guitar lessons for kids, teens and adults

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Guitar teacher for many years, I am passionate about jazz, blues, folk and fingerpicking.
My courses cover the basics of these different styles in a relaxed manner. Linking chords together smoothly, exploring different rhythms, correctly placing a melody, trying improvisation (jazz, blues, rock), developing finger playing techniques (classical or folk), are all elements at the heart of the learning. These are deepened by notions of music theory and/or music theory.

Teacher trained in the "Arc-en-Sons" method, I also teach children from 4 years old

Classes are for Beginner and Intermediate levels.

Individual lessons (20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes).

Group lessons (60 or 90 minutes).

Possibility of collective workshops (3h, min 4 participants).

Hope to meet you!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Guitarist for over 30 years, I give guitar lessons in various styles (jazz, rock, funk, blues, fingerpicking, bossa nova...).

The children's lessons are based on the Arc-en-Sons method, allowing to start the guitar from 4 years old. The learning is based on the senses of the child (hearing, sight, touch), play and singing. Once acquired the technical subtleties of the instrument, this method opens to any form of teaching of the guitar, classical or other. We learn music theory directly on the instrument and melodies known on tablatures.

For teenagers and adults the courses include:

- reading notes

- Learning chords and application on known songs.

- mediator and finger play technique

- learning improvisation jazz, blues and rock.

I give lessons at home or via skype

Opportunity to try a course without owning a guitar

Individual or group lessons (4 students max)

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am naturally patient and calm. I currently give classes to 25-30 students aged 4 to 65 years old.
My method is not fixed and adapts to the objectives and level of each person. Depending on musical tastes, I work on pieces of progressive difficulty by introducing or deepening certain techniques specific to particular guitar styles (jazz, blues, classical, bossa nova, etc.). During classes, theory can precede practice, accompany it or follow it.
My greatest satisfaction: to see progress.

David
Private cello and/or music theory lessons
Hello, my name is David, and I am doing a master's degree in teaching at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. I obtained a Master's degree in cello in June 2023. I want to pass on my passion for music by doing serious work on technique, accuracy and expression. My classes are for everyone. They can also be complementary (support) to those followed by students in the academy, in cello but also in music theory. I am also open to any type of repertoire (classical, jazz, pop, etc.) and wish to adapt to each student!

Saia
Poûet! poûet! poûet! The Trumpet is great!
Hello, I am a passionate young musician, multi-instrumentalist but trained trumpeter, I have been exploring the many facets of musical expression for 15 years. The musical openness, the technical background and the experiences of multiple styles allow me to adapt my teaching to the needs and wishes of the student, and lead me to offer an accompanied teaching on guitar, piano or percussion. On this support a work of improvisation and musical listening is also offered. After my CEM course at the Bayonne Regional Conservatory and one year of private teaching, I have the educational tools necessary for effective technical education. Recalling the real interest of technique as a means of serving expression, I invite my students to explore and work through play, and to find their own expression. Learning the theory can be done upstream, or integrated into the learning of instrumental playing. Welcome to all students from 6 to 666 years old!

Milan
Practical and theoretical guitar lessons
What I propose in my class is the practical learning of the instrument as well as a theoretical approach of it. Indeed, understanding certain musical aspects such as harmony or rhythm greatly facilitates the practical work on the instrument and promotes a real musical intelligence. I attach great importance to the student's will and to accompany him towards his goals, not mine. I have a degree in musicology and teach

Romain
Electric bass for beginners all styles of music
Holder of a license of musicology and sound engineer confirmed (and graduate!) Gives you the basics essential to the practice of the electric bass. The course is intended for beginners or false beginners, with as primary objectives the development of position, ear, groove and music theory (if desired, not required) through the analysis of musical pieces of all styles ( at the student's choice + some indispensable ones) and progressive and fun exercises. No worries: speed, density and difficulty of the lessons and exercises modulated according to the pupil, in order to preserve the only element really essential to the learning of an instrument: the pleasure to play!

Alexis
Guitar lessons for all styles (Jazz, Blues, Soul, etc.) in Brussels
- Master in jazz guitar (Royal Conservatory of Brussels/Lemmens Instituut Leuven) - Additional module in Jazz Arrangement (writing for large ensemble - octet, nonet, big band, etc.) - 4 years of experience at the Cavell Music School and 2 years at the Maria Boodschap Instituut primary school. I teach all styles, according to the student's preference, and at all levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). My teaching method varies depending on the style and your desires. I see learning the instrument along three lines: accompaniment, musical understanding and improvisation. I try to give the student a solid foundation so that he can become independent as quickly as possible and can learn pieces by himself or accompany himself. Many "theoretical" courses are available in videos and offered after the course (different scales, chords etc...).

Ziad
Oud and oriental Arabic singing lessons with an experienced teacher
Experienced teacher of Oud and oriental Arabic singing for over 11 years, I am Lebanese and currently residing in Germany. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I taught at the Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and gave private lessons. In addition, I was conductor of the Loubnan Assalam oriental orchestra for over 5 years. My recommendation for learning the Oud is to start with the study of notes and musical notation before tackling pieces. Although some students prefer to play songs directly, understanding the basics of musical notation allows for faster progress in the long run. With determination and hard work, significant progress can be made in a year, allowing one to play simple melodies. Please feel free to leave me a message, I will reply as soon as possible.
