Banjo Clawhammer / Two Fingers (5 strings). Concrete method without music theory accessible to all!

Banjo Clawhammer / Two Fingers (5 strings). Concrete method without music theory accessible to all!

Clawhammer is a traditional American banjo technique rooted in the old-time music of the Appalachian Mountains. While closely tied to this repertoire, it also lends itself beautifully to contemporary styles such as folk, country, and even pop. This style of playing is ideal for accompanying vocals or performing melodies enriched with rhythmic drive, drones, and chordal textures. No prior musical knowledge is required. The learning process is based on listening, watching, and imitating, without the use of written notation or tablature. This oral approach helps develop musical memory, independence, and the ability to quickly recall and play tunes—whether on your own or during jam sessions. The course focuses on learning songs and instrumental tunes from the old-time repertoire. Some pieces may be offered in simplified versions for beginners. More advanced players will have the opportunity to explore complex techniques such as drop thumb, alternate string pull-off, Galax lick, and rhythmic variations that go beyond the classic bum-ditty pattern. The main goal is to provide you with the musical and technical foundation you need to continue learning on your own. Depending on interest, the course may also include an introduction to the Two-Finger style (thumb lead, index lead, mix lead). This technique, somewhat similar to up-picking or bluegrass banjo, offers an interesting alternative for playing old-time melodies. Important: A 5-string banjo (with a short fifth string, or drone string) is required. This repertoire and these techniques cannot be played on a 4- or 6-string banjo.

Passionate student gives private lessons in Maths and Physics

Passionate student gives private lessons in Maths and Physics

I am a physics student at the University of Amsterdam where I started my Masters in Theoretical Physics in September 2023. Passionate about maths and physics since I was little, I plan to continue my university studies and do a doctorate, in the goal of becoming a researcher. But math hasn't always been easy for me. In 3rd humanity, I had great difficulty in math and I had to take private lessons from a great teacher. The classes not only helped me a lot, but also taught me to love math. Passing on my passion in an active way has become important to me, and I hope to be able to help other students in difficulty as I have been helped! During a private lesson, I am attentive, patient and I adapt to the rhythm of each person. At first we discuss the theory and I make sure that it is well understood by the student. Then, to learn math, practice is the key! I always try to give adapted exercises and correct mistakes together, because understanding your mistakes is the basis for progress. The way of teaching is as important as the content of the course, which is why I make it a point of honor to prepare my lessons in advance and to always be available to answer my students' questions. My courses are aimed at all humanities and university students who have difficulties in mathematics or physics, whether one-off or for longer follow-up.

Guitar lessons (also by WEBCAM), harmony, improvisation ...

Guitar lessons (also by WEBCAM), harmony, improvisation ...

Hello everyone ! I am 39 years old, I am a professional guitarist and graduate composer. My rich and varied musical journey, going from "Art Rock" to Classic, passing by French song and currently jazz allowed me to acquire a beautiful experience that I like to share with my students. Obviously passionate about my favorite instrument, I am just as passionate about music theory. From baroque counterpoint to jazz harmony, from classical orchestration to digital music publishing, I have always thought that understanding the sound universe multiplies perspectives, opens up new horizons! My method is simple and has always proven to be effective: working in symbiosis with pure instrumental technique and the general understanding of music, its cogs which seem to the novice musician so mysterious. In addition to basic instrument learning, I also teach: 🎸️ Experimental instrumental techniques 🎸️ Work of virtuosity 🎸️ Picking game 🎤️ How to go well with singing 🎵️ Arrangement 🎵️ Composition 🎵️ Harmony (classical or jazz) 🎵️ Improvisation 💻️ MAO (Computer Aided Music) Exploring musical styles: #Pop #EXP #Classique #Electro #Jazz #Jazz Manouche #Art & Hard Rock #Chanson Française #Blues #Funk (60's / 70's) 🎥️ Possibility of lessons by webcam ️🇬🇧️ I also speak English 🏡️ I give lessons mainly at my home: Châtelain district in Ixelles, many transport nearby: 🚊️ bus (54), tram (92, 94, 81.) and metro (Louise). 🐸️ GREAT BEGINNERS welcome! (no prior knowledge necessary) See you soon !

“ Nick's approach is patient and thorough, informative and imaginative as well. He always comes up with his own examples in order to test my knowledge on a given exercise and helps me get to the answer at my own pace, rather than handing it to me. He doesn't use a one-size-fits-all method, but rather tailors his lesson in order to get out my full potential, even in a field I find difficult. He makes himself available for additional questions and is overall great to work with! ”

“ A very great first encounter with Norma and the harp as a new instrument for me! Norma has been absolutely spot on in understanding and responding to my very specific personal musical wishes. We agreed on a plan forward that is adapted to my needs. I am all over the moon and can’t wait to start my lessons with her! ”

“ Alexander is very professional, I had several sessions with him in which he worked on a different issues I had been suffering from for so long, he helped me overcome many old injuries, enhance my body's overall strength, balance and coordination. ”
