Private guitar lessons for all levels, all styles, and all ages, and bass lessons for beginners

From 90 £ /h

Hello,

I offer private guitar lessons for all levels, all ages and all styles of music.
From classical guitar to electric guitar, including folk guitar.
I also give bass lessons for beginners.

Program
- How long are the classes?
My lessons are private, lasting 30, 45, or 60 minutes. We will determine the duration together based on your age and level.

- At what age?
You can start playing guitar from the age of 6 and there is no upper age limit!

- What style of music?
I teach all styles of guitar, from classical to electric guitar, including folk guitar, from classical to metal, including song and jazz.

- Can we sing?
If you'd like to accompany yourself with singing to liven up your evenings by the fire, meals with family and friends, or to prepare a small concert, I can also help you with that. For any other artistic endeavor, I'm happy to discuss your ideas!

- We can also develop your sense of creativity and help you discover your improvisation talents.

- I'm scared, I've never studied music theory!
If you're afraid of theory, know that music theory shouldn't be a barrier to guitar playing, because:
1. You can learn it as you progress in playing guitar.
2. You can also use tablature, which is an easier way to read music.

- I want to understand everything about music!
If you love theory, we can go further by exploring sight-reading and even harmony.

- What should I bring with me to class?
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, just bring your guitar and your good humor, I'll take care of the rest!

About Me

I began learning guitar at the age of 8 and teaching it from the start of my studies at ETM (now eMa) in Geneva. Today, I have extensive professional experience that allows me to tailor my lessons to each student's needs. Naturally calm and patient, I am always attentive to my students' progress, guiding them along their own individual path.

Education

After studying science, I switched to musical studies. It was at ETM (now eMa) in Geneva that I studied music in order to become a teacher and professional musician.
I have also given many concerts with my various groups, playing original rock compositions, world music covers, rock, or even in an acoustic trio.

I have been teaching since 2004, first as an employee, then as a freelancer. I have many students of all ages (from 4 to 80 years old!) and each with different objectives, which I adapt to for their greatest enjoyment.

EVERY CHILD CAN! Learning to play the guitar according to the Suzuki method is more than just music! We learn by the approach of the "Mother Tongue", playing and having fun. Children - from the age of 3 - develop, among other things, listening, memory, musical sense, concentration, discipline, respect. Collective workshops stimulate learning, and children learn to play together.
The "Suzuki Triangle", teacher, parent, student, reinforces the parental-child bond. Parents learn with their child and participate in lessons.
Music theory is included in the lessons, in a fun way.
Professor graduated from the Conservatoire with honors, graduated from the Suzuki method in Turin.
Also available for adult classes!

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.

Whether a complete beginner or a student preparing for competitions, my goal is to give each student the tools to achieve their own personal goals - and make music a positive influence in their life.

I aim to teach my students the skills necessary to be able to explore the guitar with independence and confidence, so that they can use their knowledge regardless of the style and repertoire they choose to play.

I strive to create a fun and motivating atmosphere in my classes, while providing the technical, theoretical and artistic tools necessary to progress quickly.

We will cover targeted concepts and techniques to achieve your goals and adapted to the way you learn best. Sheet music, oral, visual, annotations or adapted scores are all tools that I keep at my disposal according to needs. Music theory can help some people, in certain forms and in measured doses, while others, on the contrary, do not need it. It does not take me much time to learn to understand you and from the first session I will have targeted one or more approaches that will suit you. I still have one rule at heart, and that is to always maintain musicality and take pleasure even when playing simple things or exercises. Learning should never become a chore and should be a pleasure just as much as enjoying a good level of playing.
