Hello, my name is Javier. I am a guitarist, composer, sound technician, and music producer. I work professionally, especially in contemporary Jazz.

During more than 15 years of experience as a teacher, I have developed several methods and exercises for teaching guitar and music (songs, theory, composition, improvisation, harmony, etc.) for students of all levels and all ages. I have already had students from 6 years old to 74.

I believe that the most important thing is that the students manage to find the motivation to practice regularly with the pleasure of progressing.

Method:

The most common is the use of songs that the student chooses and takes advantage of this to work on more general concepts of music and the guitar which are important to acquire a solid base without bad habits.

For more advanced students the learning process is determined together by setting personal goals.

The teaching method is totally focused on the individual needs of each student.

Students with any level of knowledge in music (self-taught, beginners, advanced ...) are accepted.

Interview:

01
- Since when did you develop a passion for music and more particularly for your favorite instrument?

- I became interested in the guitar at the age of ten. I had a friend who played "Blackbird" music by The Beatles and I was fascinated. From there, I started to study and I continue to learn today.

02
- What music can you listen to on repeat with the same pleasure (and without going crazy)?

- Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.

03
- Tell us about the most difficult or amazing lesson you have given!

- It would be a class where I have to explain the major and minor tonality and all its variants in one hour of class. But I will get there!

04
- In your opinion, what is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

- It was impossible to answer. Each person has different predispositions.
For me to play the piano at a high level would be complicated for the need for independence of the right and left hands. In this sense, the guitar is easier.

05
- What are, for you, the keys to success (apart from those of Sol and Fa)?

- Constance, it's always better to practice a little every day than a lot once in a while.
Patience, learning an instrument takes time. You have to learn to coordinate the body and the brain and take new paths from time to time.
And the most important :
Don't be afraid of making mistakes, to learn it is essential to make mistakes and this should not be a reason to stop practicing, on the contrary, it should be a motivation to improve.

06
- Name 3 musicians with whom you would dream of jamming in a bar at 2 a.m. and tell us why!

- Tigran Hamasyan, Reinier Baas, Avishai Cohen (bassist)

07
- An anecdote to tell in relation to your job or your schooling (and not necessarily the party you had after entering the Conservatory)?

- When I started giving lessons (I was 17), I had a 10-year-old student, when I suggested things to do, he looked me directly in the eye and said: No!
But with patience, after a while, I managed to make a connection with him and at the end of the 3 years he played the guitar very well and we became friends. Now he is more or less 25 years old.

08
- What is the little touch that makes you a special teacher adored by all his students?

- I am very patient and I always find the best way to explain to each student.

The content of my lessons is tailored to what you need:
• Technique: Training flexibility and strength to be able to play more easily
• Interpretation of music in all styles: How do you play baroque, classical, tango, bossa, romantic?
• Learning to deal with stage fear and nerves: Everyone can learn this and it has everything to do with the way of practicing!
• Learn to study new music efficiently: Learn a new composition in a week or even a day.

For beginners, all of this is covered in my series of lessons.

Classical guitar is one of the most beautiful and versatile instruments out there! You can play music from all styles and from all times. But learning to play the guitar is not something you do alone: you need someone who will guide you personally and help you discover what you can get out of your instrument. So do you dream of starting to make music yourself but don't know where to start? Or have you been playing for some time, but are you looking for a more personal approach in your lessons?
Then you've come to the right place!

I'm Warre and I've been playing classical guitar for over 16 years. A few years ago I decided to go for a life as a professional musician and enrolled at a conservatory. This year I completed my Master of Music at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven. I have been teaching guitar for several years now. I look forward to meeting my students every week. Few things are more fun than watching someone discover music and get so much fun out of it!

No prior musical knowledge is required. If you are a total beginner, we will start from scratch. And it's never too late to get started! Of course, more experienced players are also welcome for lessons that are completely tailored to your needs.

Lessons at my home in the center of Antwerp or online. Current availabilities valid until the end of August.

Whether you are an absolute beginner or an advanced guitarist, together we map out your personal trajectory. Would you like to play classical pieces, learn more pop songs or improvise? That's all possible!

After my classical guitar studies at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, I started to specialize in music pedagogy with a specific focus on instrumental learning by ear and creative music making. Because of my insight into musical learning, I can adapt my lessons to your level and your preferences. I also have experience with various musical styles, so I'm flexible in that too!

Lessons take place at my home in Antwerp, but on location is also possible (subject to a fee and only for lessons of 1 hour).

Hello,

I have been playing the guitar for 20 years now. I like to teach and therefore I seek to transmit my passion through playful courses in Antwerpen in English or French. Don't hesitate and lets start this journey together. I will teach you how to play your favorite song quickly. Everything about rhythm, chords, picking. (music theory is not needed)
See you soon :)

Unlock your musical potential with personalized private music lessons, specialized in guitar or mandolin, provided by an experienced and dedicated tutor. Embrace your musical creativity and express yourself through improvisation!
Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate player seeking improvement, I offer customized instruction tailored to your unique needs and learning style, regardless of your age. My lessons aim to enhance your understanding, boost your confidence, and equip you with the techniques to become a proficient musician.
Focusing on your musical interests and goals, I will help you develop strumming, fretting, picking, and soloing skills while expanding your knowledge of music theory and styles. With my experienced teaching and personalized approach, you will reach your full potential on the guitar or mandolin. Contact me today to schedule your first lesson!

I have been a self-taught guitarist for 10 years, and through this journey, I learned how to learn to play guitar. During my lessons, I will teach you the best and fastest methods to reach your guitar-playing goals, whether they are playing your favorite songs, improvising, or composing your own, as well as focusing on your favorite genres.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.

If you want to learn how to play some chords, or you want to learn a song to impress your loved one, or you want to play that metal song from Stranger Things, then you've come to the right place!

I am a classically trained guitarist with a background in heavy metal and rock! I've been playing for over 18 years and hold a bachelor of music.

Master Ed gives tailor-made individual music lessons in a relaxed atmosphere. This can be done in his workspace in Antwerp or at your home if you live within a radius of 2 km from Antwerp Central Station.

All levels and all ages are welcome, including absolute beginners!

Master Ed is structured, but flexible: he personally guides you in your style (from rock to classical to improvisation) with the approach that suits you best. You don't have to come to class every week, or even on the same day.

UNLOCK THE JOY OF MAKING MUSIC BY MASTERING BOTH THE GUITAR AND YOUR VOICE!

Have you ever wanted to sit down with a guitar and sing your favourite songs flawlessly, but found it difficult to coordinate your hands and your voice at the same time? Or perhaps you want to improve both skills individually? This class is designed specifically for you.

As a musician, I know that playing guitar while singing requires a special kind of rhythm and muscle memory. In these tailored, one-on-one lessons, we won't just practice boring drills—we will practice using the music you actually love to listen to.

🎸 What We Will Cover:
GUITAR ESSENTIALS: Chord shapes, smooth transitions, rhythm, strumming patterns, and fingerpicking.

VOCAL TECHNIQUE: Breath control, pitch accuracy, expanding your vocal range, and finding your unique tone.

THE "COMBO" COORDINATION: Specialized techniques to help you separate your hands from your voice, allowing you to play and sing simultaneously without losing the beat.

SONG INTERPRETATION: How to arrange songs to fit your personal style and vocal range.

🌟 WHY CHOOSE THIS CLASS?

Two-in-One Value: You get high-quality guitar instruction and vocal coaching combined into a single lesson.

100% CUSTOMISED: Whether you are an absolute beginner who has never touched a guitar, or an intermediate singer looking to accompany yourself, every lesson is adapted to your pace and goals.

ALL GENRES WELCOME: From Pop, Rock, and Folk to Indie and Acoustic covers.
📍 Practical Details:
Levels: Absolute Beginners to Intermediate.

AGES: All ages welcome (Kids, Teens, and Adults).

LOCATION: Available for online lessons via webcam, or in-person at [My Home / Your Home in City/Region].
