Guitar chords, comping and Improvisation, chord melody.

From 42 £ /h

If you've been playing guitar for a while and want to improve your guitar skills, this is the class you should take! We'll cover advanced chord tensions, how to apply them, improvising over different chords, cadence, and minor, major, and modal contexts.

We can also review how to build a melody with chords, which could be a bit more advanced.

We will use the same materials as Berklee College of Music to guide our path through this beautiful process of discovering the guitar.

I prefer to teach with the person physically present, both because it makes the student feel more comfortable, and so do I as the educator; however, if there's a problem, I think we could arrange for online teaching.

Extra information

A minimum of 15 minutes of home practice is required on what was learned in class.

An ideal basic method for anyone who wants to learn classical guitar from scratch, or someone who wants to improve their technique.
Guitar classes designed to provide the student with the necessary resources to develop creativity and musical sensitivity naturally, easily, quickly and effectively.
I use the material of my teachers Abel Carlevaro and Eduardo Castañera, who have a great concern with the technique of the instrument and musical interpretation.
The classes also teach the theory of musical reading (score and figures), music theory, etc.
Concert guitarist Carlos Bica will be in Madrid and Ciudad Real teaching classes. These classes last one hour, once a week individually. Beginner, intermediate and advanced students of all ages, children and adults, will be accepted.
For those who seek to be professionals and with the purpose of being able to respond to challenges with solvency and a level of excellence that distinguishes them, you can find it here. Music lovers are also welcome, who will enjoy getting to know this world better and want to learn to enjoy music. I wait for you.

In this course you will learn to understand your body through music. To play piano we need more than our fingers, you will learn to feel your body, the relaxation that passes through it and the necessary movements you must make to be able to properly play the piano.
You will also learn a lot about each era, starting from the Baroque to today. You will be able to see how each era is unique and the way of seeing and feeling music in each of them.
You will learn many ways to study, so that you can continue at home alone with the certainty of doing well.
We will learn together, because I am convinced that teaching is a way of learning too.

This introductory Harmony I course explores topics such as major and minor scale construction, intervals, triads, inversions, and cadences; you'll learn the concept of harmonic function (tonic, subdominant, dominant); you'll practice notation and analyzing simple harmonic progressions, with practical exercises, developing an aural, theoretical, and practical understanding of Western music.

The course is designed for both music students who wish to strengthen their theoretical knowledge and for performers seeking to improve their analytical skills and structural understanding of the works they perform.

Through theoretical classes, analysis of musical examples, and practical exercises, students will develop essential tools for conscious musical composition, analysis, and interpretation. This course is the first step toward delving into the harmonic language that has shaped centuries of academic and popular music.
