Learn How to Play the Acoustic Guitar From Beginners Level

From 33.54 £ /h

I can start teaching you the basics and then have you strumming or plucking away in a short amount of time.
You have the option of choosing a song that you would like to learn and I will teach it to you. I can teach you how to read tabs (if you do not already know). I teach from the basics up until you are confidently able to play any song.
I am very patient when it comes to teaching. I have experience in guitar teaching and have taught people who were complete beginners, and helped them to be able to independently play any song they want.

We work the techniques, rhythmic styles and harmony typical of flamenco.
Once the pupil has acquired a certain mastery of the instrument, he can learn to accompany song and dance in order to complete his learning; let's say that the accompaniment of song and dance is what will allow the student to live a real experience of flamenco and thus feed on the ingredients necessary to learn and understand all the richness and complexity of this art.
The accompaniment of the song:
At first, we will study rhythmic formulas on precise chords, then in a second time, we will play these formulas with the singer (recorded on audio tracks). In order to make learning more lively, the student will be able to accompany the teacher who will sing certain styles and will be able to participate in monthly workshops to accompany song and dance with a singer, a dancer and other students.
The student can also film during the lesson to be able to work at home more efficiently.
Finally, distance learning courses are possible, via Whatsapp or Skype.

With 18 years of experience teaching guitar and more than 20 years in socio-cultural animation, I have also successfully led many courses in schools with recognized pedagogical qualities such as The Rudolf School Steiner and the Active School, or in Andalusian associations in Geneva, Friborg, Nyon and Martigny.
I also accompany the dance lessons of various dancers (living in Switzerland, Spain and France) regularly or during workshops in Spain and Switzerland: Ana la China (CH), Antonio Perujo (CH), Maud la Manuela (CH), Naomi Guerrero (CH), Melissa Salcedo (CH), Octavia de la Vega (CH), Jose Candela (Grenada), La Tati (Madrid), Carmen Ledesma (Sevilla), Manuela Carpio (Jerez), Ana Maria Lopez (Jerez), Raimundo Benitez (Grenada), Manuel Guitieres (Monpellier).
My stage experience alongside local and internationally renowned artists (Enrique Bermuda "el Piculabe", Matias Lopez "el Mati", Juanillorro, Sandra Santisteban, Ana Barba, Melchor Campos, Paloma Pradal, Manolo Carmona "El Huelebien", Yolanda Almodovar, Andres Gil, Maria Bertos or Juan Manuel Cortes, Marta Themo, Stéphane Montangero) in organizations ranging from local associations to international flamenco festivals (Geneva, Mont-de-Marsan), as well as my apprenticeship with various masters ( Jose Manuel Tudela, Domingo Rubichi, Manuel Losada "el Carbonero", Agustin de la Fuente, Jesus El Guardia, Daniel Manzanas, Enrique Bermudez) and the fact that I played other musical styles (blues, rock, Brazilian music) for 12 years before diving into the world of flamenco make me a versatile guitarist and listens to others.
Lessons:
Over time, I have developed a method that adapts to the needs and abilities of each student to guide them progressively and playfully towards a growing autonomy. Thus, the student is led on the way towards the accompaniment of singing, dancing and composition. The technical, theoretical and rhythmic baggage it needs is
introduced in a personalized way so that this last one lives it the way most in agreement with its mode of learning.

Flamenco being of oral tradition we will not normally use music theory for its learning but mainly listening and imitation (however, if necessary I can also explain some rhythmic or harmonic particularities using this language for those whose understanding go through this).

In order for everyone to remember what they have learned in the current lesson, I systematically devote a brief moment of video or audio recording with a slow take that includes a synthesis of explanations and a real-time take. If the student does not have anything to film or record, I can do it with my phone and send the file to him by e-mail. The latter finds in this way at any time a summary of each course.

For beginners guitarists, I propose a grip of the instrument
With traditional ultra - simplified melodic and rhythmic motifs, the first technical bases are thus acquired by playing rather than under the constraint of tedious exercises (which I can also propose if the student feels the need). We will gradually expand them according to the progress of the student.

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.

About me :

I obtained my bachelor's degree from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance in 2022, my master's degree in musical performance from HEM Geneva in 2024, and I am currently pursuing a master's degree in pedagogy at HEM Geneva in Judicael Perroy's class.

Having played classical guitar since the age of 9, I regularly participate in concerts, masterclasses, and international competitions - where I have won several awards. I have years of experience teaching children and adults, both in Geneva and abroad.
