Guitar and singing lessons,
From 26.77 £ /h
Raphaël, 39 years old, 25 years of instrumental practice, I teach guitar and singing, all classical styles (for guitar) or rock (electric or acoustic) as well as all current music: improvised jazz, reggae, French song, bossa, etc... I have 22 years of experience teaching private lessons. I have held the State Diploma of Music Teacher in the discipline of current music since 2021.
I learned music in private lessons, classical then electric guitar, formed my first bands at the age of 17. I then studied jazz guitar and improvisation in private lessons and at the conservatory, participating for 4 years in a jazz big band on guitar then bass. I have been singing self-taught since the age of 20. I then set up my own indie and experimental rock projects, producing seven albums and more than a hundred concerts as a guitarist and lead singer.
My method for the guitar: technical work on posture, relaxation and breathing, rapid establishment of a repertoire chosen in consultation with the student, accessible and beneficial to their improvement, development of work autonomy, work on knowledge of the neck in a fun way and development of listening and musical culture. The emphasis is placed on rhythm work with the aim of developing collective practice.
My singing method: work on relaxation and breathing. Ear training is essential, and practice with a harmonic instrument is recommended. In addition to all the points mentioned above.
Possibility of music theory lessons: reading of scores, grids, theoretical knowledge and understanding of concepts and harmony.
I receive classes at my home or online.

I have a state diploma as a contemporary music teacher obtained in 2021 and a DEM in contemporary music obtained in 2014. I took musicology courses for 4 years where I trained in music theory.
I learned guitar in private lessons with various teachers, classical and jazz improvisation, and of course rock. But it's the projects that help me progress the most.
