Hello!

Passionate about guitar for many years and a graduate in contemporary music, I offer personalized lessons in electric and acoustic guitar, as well as harmony and music theory.

My approach is designed to be easy, fun, and comprehensive. Whether you're a complete beginner or a musician looking to deepen your knowledge, I adapt to your pace and musical tastes (Rock, Blues, Hard Rock, Pop, etc.).

The program includes:
Learning songs you love from the very first lessons.
Mastering fundamental techniques (chords, rhythm, improvisation).

In-depth exploration: pentatonic scales, triads, arpeggios, and playing with chord changes.
Theory and harmony applied directly to the fretboard to help you understand what you're playing.
My goal is to give you the tools to become independent and unleash your creativity, all in a relaxed and motivating atmosphere. Lessons are available for both children and adults.
Ready to take your game to the next level?

About Me

A professional guitarist and teacher for over 15 years, I have dedicated my life to music, from the rigor of conservatories to the stages of the biggest European festivals (Montreux Jazz Festival, Paléo Festival, Boomtown UK).

My academic background is solid and varied: a graduate in Pop/Rock from the P. Tchaikovsky Conservatory, I also hold specialized Master's degrees in Jazz (Catania) and Blues (Milan), as well as a diploma from the Milan Academy of Sound (Master of Rock Guitar). This dual background, combining academic training and live experience, allows me to offer a unique teaching method that is both structured and creative.
My teaching philosophy:
Whether you're taking your first steps or are an experienced musician, my goal is to guide you with kindness and efficiency. I adapt to your needs:
Children (from age 7) and beginners: Playful learning based on immediate enjoyment, first riffs and natural understanding of the instrument.
Advanced levels: Stylistic refinement (Rock, Blues, Jazz), in-depth study of harmony, triads, arpeggios and solo improvisation.

Music Production & Creation: Thanks to my experience as a composer and arranger (Ableton Live), I can also guide you in recording and producing your own music.

My teaching approach has proven successful in numerous music schools in Italy and Switzerland (Adac Nyon and Gland). I emphasize fluent music reading (sheet music and tablature) and impeccable technique, while keeping emotion at the heart of the playing.

Now living in Switzerland, I take immense pleasure in sharing my expertise with my students. Ready to make the strings sing together? Contact me to begin your musical adventure!

Guitar is one of the most popular instruments around the world. The good knowledge of the guitar is difficult because of the different types of categories.

With this classes you could start learning basic things like the notes and songs or improve and practice the sheet music that you're playing.

I'm qualified teacher and I have been studying in the conservatory for 10 years.

I give drum lessons instead of Vallon 12, in my studio, equipped with 2 drums and recording equipment.

I consider that learning can only be done while having fun, so I adapt almost all my lessons to the desires of my students, while keeping a course of action to follow, based on methods that have been developed. proven to be very effective over the years.

I teach any style of music making sure the basics are solid. (Rock, Funk, Groove, Jazz, Samba, Latin, Metal, Fusion, ...) It is important for me that the student tells me about his desires, his tastes, and to know what the student has desire to learn. Of course, I can come up with tons of songs, but it is always more interesting for the student to bring me what they want to learn.

My local is a recording studio. This means that I record and film sessions with students from time to time. It is very rewarding to see / hear yourself play, even very early in learning, and this service is an integral part of the lessons and is something quite rare in drum lessons in the region.

I enjoy a familiar atmosphere, without pressure, to focus on the essentials in a relaxed way :-)

About the teacher:
Studied drums at the Sleack Kaven School in Lausanne.
Drummer in many Swiss and international groups, specializing in extreme, technical and progressive metal, as well as electro-groove.
Great experience of concerts all over Europe, as well as various recording studios, as well as recording in my personal studio.

Drums teacher since 2016 at the ENSR in Lausanne.
Drums teacher between 2018-2020 at GimmeMusic School, in Etoy.
Private drums teacher since 2017.

The clarinet is a fascinating instrument. Its woody timbre, its tessitura close to the voice offers a wide range of musical directions. Whether you want to play classical, jazz, song or world music, we will progress together to connect the song and the instrument. To develop the breath, to consolidate its supports, to feel the rhythm and to shine the melodies, that is the objective!

I adapt my method according to each student but here are the central points of my educational work:

- Warm up: stretching and breathing

- Sound work: beak, held notes, harmonics *

- Technique: ranges, transpositions *

- Repertoire: Piece being learned, reading *, improvisation.

* confirmed students

SINGING

I attach particular importance to the link between song and instrument. Singing the songs and even the scales improves the musicality, the phrasing, the accuracy to the instrument.

MEMORY

As much as possible, I ask to memorize the pieces. Knowing how to sing a song before playing it is for me the best way to integrate it.

Hi!

I am an accomplished classical pianist and experienced teacher who offers you piano lessons, at all levels from beginner to advanced, for fun or for serious ones (preparation for competitions, auditions, exams, etc.).

I also have another Master's degree from the first institution as well as a diploma in performance.

I have more than 15 years of experience as an interpreter and pedagogue (even at university level as a lecturer). I am very dedicated to my students and I offer you dynamic, personalized courses to meet the particular needs of each person.

Have you always dreamed of playing the violin, but never took the plunge? You started as a child, and have been itching to start itching for weeks? Do you already play in a group and want to improve your technique? Whoever you are, this course is for you!
Graduated in pedagogy from the Hochschule de Freiburg im Breisgau, I finished a master at the HEMU in Lausanne a few months ago, and I want to share my passion for music, through courses that can adapt to all ages and all tastes. Chamber music groups are welcome! I will complete, according to your desires and your needs, by music theory, the history of music, a work on posture and breathing ... I am also trained in early music, and very willingly teach the baroque violin.
The violin is a chameleon: it can slip into all styles, and tell a multitude of stories. It's your turn!

Hello,

My name is Marco, and I invite you to pass on my passion for the guitar, and more broadly for music.

Music brings a lot. Whether it's emotions, personal satisfaction, moments of grace, whether you're a spectator or on stage, encounters and exchanges that are so interesting with other musicians...

My goal is to send you enough motivation and pleasure so that you never give up on this inexhaustible source of joy and discovery.

To achieve this, my main tool, as in music, will be listening.
Listening to you, understanding what you dream of achieving, then helping you get there, this is my method. So my experience and my knowledge will allow us to approach the styles that interest you: Songs, Pop, Rock, Folk, Fingerstyle, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Bossa nova, Samba... as much as to accompany you in your own creations .

So during our first session we will discuss the artists and guitarists who are close to our hearts. If you already know songs, you can play them for me, easily, without stress, and for the most advanced among you, it will even be an opportunity to jam.

Whether it's for you or your child, whether you're a student or a retiree, I'm interested in all profiles, because everyone can have fun learning to play the guitar.

See you soon !

Marco
