I offer private teaching services in Paris and the surrounding 92 suburbs area, including Meudon, Clamart, Malakoff, Saint-Cloud, Neuilly-sur-Seine, and more.
The lessons can be conducted either at the student's residence or at my own.

During our sessions, we will cover a wide range of topics including musical theory, technique, note reading, chords and tabs, developing musical ear, and learning how to play your favorite songs in various styles. These styles encompass pop, rock, blues, oriental, classical music, and more.

My teaching philosophy is centered around making the learning process enjoyable and accessible because I believe that learning should be fun and easy and should develop simple and fun methods to rapidly improve your skills on Guitar/Piano.

I studied classical guitar, chamber music, early music and musical writing at Crr de Paris. Since then, I have given private lessons in guitar and music theory. Also, I perform with several formations of current music and I compose music in the image.

My lessons adapt to everyone's needs. Starting from a deep understanding of the work we want to interpret, we focus on the set of techniques that must be mastered to achieve it correctly. The choice of works being guided by the needs and desires of the student. This will allow us to develop the guitar and musical level of it.

Musically,

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.

Hello, my name is Benoit, I am a jazz & contemporary music guitarist and guitar teacher for more than 15 years in music schools, associations and at home.

I studied Jazz at the Boulogne-Billancourt Conservatory and graduated from the American School Of Modern Music.

I seek with my lessons to develop your desire to make music and your creativity. My courses and content will allow you to immerse yourself in an exciting practice. Pleasure and requirement are the keywords of my learning method. You will quickly be able to play a current, rich and varied repertoire. In addition to private lessons, I provide you with free videos, scores & tablatures.

Who are the classes for?

Children:
From 7 years old, learning notes in a playful and progressive way. We explore music theory, tablatures, rhythm and melody thanks to card games specially developed for the youngest: recognition, 7 families, pair games, Memory, etc. Your child discovers the instrument and the technique while being able to quickly play familiar tunes! Classes usually last 30 minutes.

Teen:
The goal is not to spend too much time on the theoretical aspect of music theory (reading notes etc.) but to see the basic techniques of the instrument in order to be able to play and have fun quickly.

From the first lessons you will play the pieces of your choice, I will guide you and accompany you. Pleasure and satisfaction guaranteed!

Adults:
Have you always dreamed of learning to play the guitar? You played when you were young and want to get back to it? Did the "conservatory" method disappoint you or does it not suit you? My approach and my experience will allow you to learn or deepen the instrument and your knowledge at your own pace thanks to a multitude of pieces, scores, playbacks and tutorials. This will help you to develop or perfect the essential techniques for playing the guitar and also to play a repertoire to your liking. Classes usually last 60 minutes.

If you are self-employed or have flexible working hours during the day, I can come to your place of work. I can also give video lessons to coach you or if you are on the go.

For what levels?

Beginner:
You quickly take the instrument in hand, I guide you to acquire in a few sessions the technical gestures and the basic notions in order to be autonomous with your guitar.

Intermediate:
You develop a repertoire in line with your tastes and desires. I advise you and challenge you to make you progress.

Advanced:
You improve your technique thanks to the study of statements of reference guitarists and different Jazz / Rock / Blues / Gypsy styles such as: John Scofield, Wes Montgomery, Peter Bernstein, George Benson, Django Reinhardt etc...
Together we work on the writing and the balance of musical phrases, chord sequences, notions of tension and resolution, which will allow you to create your own music and refine your style. I advise you on the right software and musical software (writing/Sibelius, tabalture/Guitarpro, Recording/Ableton, creation/Reason etc...)

How are the lessons going?

Face to face, at your home, mine, or video, I adapt to your possibilities and your wishes.

Those who wish to meet other musicians can join a group. I also organize courses (between 8 and 10 people) during school holidays, on various subjects: Deepening your repertoire, improvising with pentatonics, group games, picking techniques, etc.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you want more information!

Musically & see you soon!

Do you want / have just started playing the guitar? Are you looking to learn a few songs? I would be more than happy to teach you guitar (Acoustic or Electric).

In the program:

- Basic techniques: Good position of the instrument / Playing with a plectrum, Arpeggio / Open and barre chords / Chaining / Rhythms / Scales / Reading tablature / Basics of improvisation.
- The songs: Learning of standard songs in line with the techniques and chords seen previously / Learning the songs you would like to learn / Learning songs of all styles (Pop, Rock, Funk, Blues, Jazz etc ...)
- Practical cases: Being a multi-instrumentalist and component on Logic Pro X, I also create personalized backing tracks so that the students can apply concepts that we will have seen in class (such as improvisation).
- Other: Ear training / Composition / Project assistance / Recording.

I listen to the student and adapt to his goals. My goal is to make him independent and enjoy playing the guitar.

See you soon in my next class!

I am a passionate guitarist and guitar teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching guitar to beginners and intermediate players. My teaching approach stems from a deep love of music, from transcribing solos and developing a personal style to composing and arranging for an instrumental album currently in production. For me, teaching guitar is much more than simply transmitting techniques: it's about sharing a vision of music and guiding each student toward their own artistic expression.

What I propose
Fully personalized individual lessons, tailored to your level, pace, and musical goals. Each lesson is built around you.

🎸 Chords, rhythms, picking, fingerstyle and playing techniques
🎵 Music theory applied to the guitar, in a simple and progressive way
👂 Ear training and introduction to transcription
🎶 Varied repertoire: pop, rock, folk, blues and acoustic styles
🌍 Courses taught in French or English
👶🧑🧓 All ages welcome: children, adults and seniors

My teaching approach:
I firmly believe that every student is unique. My lessons combine technical rigor with creative freedom, so you progress both as a guitarist and as a well-rounded musician. Beyond technique, I help you develop your musical sensitivity and confidence on the instrument.
Alongside teaching, I continue to perform, record and actively work on my own musical projects, which ensures that teaching is rooted in real and living musical practice, and not in theory alone.

Why choose my courses?
✅ Fully bilingual profile: courses in French or English
✅ Available in person in Paris or online (throughout the French-speaking world)
✅ Guaranteed quick response: I promise to reply to every message as soon as possible
✅ Total flexibility: availability adapted to your schedule
✅ All ages and all levels: from complete beginner to advanced intermediate

I am a professional and passionate guitarist and I give guitar lessons, acoustic or electric, to motivated students - all levels - and in styles as different as rock, jazz, gypsy jazz, blues, pop, funk etc.
(also bass and DAW)

Convinced that learning an instrument should be a joy, I adapt to the level and expectations of each individual and try to understand with them the best way to achieve the goals we will set together.
Not believing in THE method that works for everyone, my method is adaptive because it is tailored to the person in front of me and their request.

I have played with many artists, live and in the studio, in styles as diverse as rock (ITHAK), jazz (Archie Shepp, Christophe Chassol, Marc Ribot, Luc Ex), hip-hop (Mike Ladd), pop (Zaz), Afghan music (Farhad Darya), Senegalese music (Pape Djiby Ba), Turkish music (Cem Yildiz), Algerian music (Hakim Hamadouche) and am excited to share with you the experience I have accumulated over the years.

I speak English, French, Turkish, Spanish.

My goal is simple: to focus on the enjoyment of playing.
Through the songs you love, you'll learn chords, barre chords, rhythm, power chords, and your first solos...
Clear tablature and audio playback will help you progress faster.
I help you set up your amp, your pedals and find your sound.
Never touched a guitar before? We'll be playing a riff from the very first lesson!
Musicians of all backgrounds, knowledgeable amateurs and passionate music lovers... Beginners or experienced players... Do you want to learn, progress or perfect your skills in a relaxed atmosphere? You've come to the right place! I will guide you throughout your learning and progress.
The classes will sometimes turn into group workshops or jam sessions, and you will also be able to participate in several projects organized by AMS Anacrouse to showcase your progress (live concerts, jam sessions, recordings, videos...).

Together we define the course content based on your desires and objectives.

I use a range of tools and teaching materials to best adapt to your level: audio & video recordings, tablature, sheet music, text, diagrams, ...

For the most motivated, there will be the opportunity to participate in a small end-of-year concert, in order to familiarize themselves with the stage and play in front of an audience!

This course is for those who want to learn guitar, piano, and music and harmony theory.
I started playing music at age six and was lucky enough to find a teacher who truly understood how to instill confidence in me. Beyond music theory, a very academic approach that clearly discourages further exploration, he had me playing, learning directly through my fingers and ears the music I loved. Without him, I surely would have given up. Like him, I now want to share the joy of playing, learning all kinds of pieces, and perhaps even composing my own.
