Classical and electric guitar lessons,
From 45 £ /h
Would you like to start playing guitar, pick it up again after a break, or overcome a challenge? Do you have a song in mind, a solo that's giving you trouble, or simply the desire to discover unexpected things? Do you want to create your own music, lead a specific project, or express yourself on social media?
I offer individual online lessons, tailored to your level, your tastes and the time you have available.
🎼 Support that starts with you
Are you a beginner? We'll gradually build the foundations through pieces that will inspire you to play. Do you already have some experience? We can refine your technique, improve your interpretation, or understand what's hindering your progress.
Is a chord change not flowing smoothly? Is a fast passage proving difficult despite repetition? We take the time to understand what the problem is. I regularly create customized exercises directly related to the difficulties my students encounter.
We also work on sound, rhythm, nuances and phrasing: everything that brings a performance to life.
The goal is for you to know what to work on, how to do it, and why, even between lessons. I also help you organize your practice to progress with realistic goals and maintain the joy of playing.
🎵 My journey
I am a guitarist and composer, holding two master's degrees obtained at the IMEP in Namur in classical guitar and classical writing.
I have been teaching for 11 years to children, teenagers and adults, in academies, non-profit organizations, private lessons, online and in higher education. These experiences have taught me to adapt my explanations to very different profiles, from the first contact with the instrument to higher musical studies.
I enjoy performing classical music as much as playing a rock riff or transforming a film theme into a guitar arrangement. This curiosity runs through my career and my teaching: I love discovering my students' musical world and helping them bring it to life.
My stage experience ranges from rock bands to solo classical guitar, trios, and quartets. I compose for various ensembles and create numerous arrangements of film scores, video game soundtracks, and songs. One of my pieces was notably performed by the IMEP Grand Choir.
This dual experience as a guitarist and composer informs my teaching: I enjoy explaining what lies behind the notes, understanding the technical challenges, and illuminating choices in harmony, structure, and interpretation, with accessible guidelines for every level. My curiosity for film, literature, computer science, and Japanese culture also enriches the projects I develop with my students.
🎸 What do you feel like playing or creating?
• Classical guitar: repertoire from early music to contemporary music, technique, sound, interpretation and expression.
• Electric guitar: rock, metal, pop, riffs, solos and sound engineering.
• Accompaniment: chords, rhythms, variety and French songs, for playing alone, singing or accompanying other musicians.
• Music from films and video games: play your favorite themes or adapt them for guitar.
• Music theory: understanding chords, harmony, rhythm and the construction of pieces, with explanations linked to practice.
• Composition and arrangement: develop your ideas, write your music or transform a piece to make it your own.
🎵 A place for music in your everyday life
In my teaching, I place equal importance on understanding and the enjoyment of playing. I like to make complex concepts accessible, seeking what will help each student progress and giving them the tools to become independent. My wish is that everyone can develop a practice that suits them, with curiosity, confidence, and the desire to continue.
The courses welcome beginners as well as advanced musicians, with teaching methods adapted to the age and background of each individual.
Tell me what you would like to play or learn, and where you are today!

About Me
I love works that transport us somewhere: a classical piece whose details are revealed with each listen, a rock riff that instantly makes you want to play, a film score that brings an entire scene back to mind. Literature, science fiction, and Japanese culture also hold a place in my world. I love contrasts, the shifts from light to mystery, from calm to energy, and the way music can tell a story without uttering a word.
Classical guitar is at the heart of my journey, but it coexists very well with pop, rock, and video game music. I can enjoy exploring a score down to its finest nuances and, at other times, simply savoring a few chords that sound good. Not everything requires the same approach, and that's also what makes music so rich.
What I love about teaching is the opportunity to connect with each student's unique world. A piece you bring, a desire that's still hard to define, an unexpected question—all these can become the starting point for a fascinating project. I enjoy helping you hear more clearly in what you love, to overcome what seemed unattainable, and to transform an intuition into something you can actually play or create. Sometimes, the project takes on a scope we never imagined at the beginning.
I take music seriously, but I like to talk about it simply. We can strive for precision, appreciate detail, and want to understand why, all while maintaining a light touch. I want to create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable asking all your questions, suggesting ideas, and exploring different approaches. We take the time to discover what works and how to achieve it.
Whether you wish to interpret a work, play a song you love or write your own music, the tools we work with have the same reason for being: to allow you to express more freely what you have in mind, with the means and sensitivity that are yours.

Experience / Qualifications
For the past 11 years, I have been working with children, teenagers, and adults, from their first contact with music to higher education. This diversity has taught me to adapt the pace, explanations, and expectations to each student.
• Teaching classical and electric guitar in academies and conservatories, notably in Huy, as well as in Wavre and Uccle during my career.
• Music writing course at IMEP, as part of the support for success and then as an assistant, as well as experience teaching analysis-writing at the Uccle academy.
• Courses at the non-profit organization La Ronde des Musiciens from 2015 to 2021, private lessons and accompaniment via videoconference.
• Recognition of useful experience for teaching electric guitar in part-time artistic education, obtained in 2024 from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
My teaching activity is also nourished by the stage and creation. I played electric guitar and bass in the rock band Letterbomb, then in a trio and quartet of classical guitars with the ensemble Pagaille!, notably in Japanese and Spanish repertoires.
As a composer, I write for various instruments and ensembles. My piece "Fidèle," for choir and organ, was premiered by the IMEP Grand Choir in 2025. I also composed "Dies Irae" for the clarinet quartet Les Prises de bec and "Possession" for the guitar duo Les Sauvages. I also create numerous arrangements of classical music, film scores, video game soundtracks, and songs.
These experiences allow me to link the lessons to concrete musical situations: interpreting, understanding a score, writing for musicians or building a personal project.

Would you like to compose your own music, harmonize a melody, or adapt a piece for other instruments? Do you have ideas but don't know how to develop them? Do you want to better understand chords, keys, and modes, or give your compositions a more polished structure?
I offer individual online lessons in composition, harmony, and arrangement, tailored to your level, musical style, and available time. You can come with a personal project or simply the desire to learn, even without prior composition experience.
🎼 Support that starts with you
Composing is a fascinating learning process that requires time and develops both the ear and musical understanding. As with an instrument, one can begin with simple exercises, then gradually move on to more ambitious and freer projects.
I won't leave you alone with a blank page: I'll guide you step by step, with tailored instructions that allow you to start writing without needing to master everything beforehand. Creating a short melody, finding an accompaniment, developing a motif, or writing a short piece are all ways to consolidate your skills and develop your musical talent.
As you progress, your projects become more developed and your instructions more open-ended. You gradually gain freedom and autonomy, while creating music at every stage.
Do you already compose? We can start with your works, identify what deserves to be explored further, and explore different solutions while respecting your intention and your world.
Improvisation and spontaneous discoveries also have their place. The goal is to understand what you like about an idea, to know how to rework it, and to be able to turn it into something structured.
🎵 My journey
Guitarist and composer, I hold two master's degrees obtained at the IMEP in Namur: a didactic master's degree in classical guitar and a specialized master's degree in classical writing.
I have been teaching for 11 years to children, teenagers and adults, in academies, non-profit organizations, private lessons and online. I also teach music composition at the IMEP (Institut Supérieur de Musique et de Pédagogie).
I compose for various ensembles: guitar, piano, clarinet quartet, string quartet, choir, or organ. One of my pieces was notably performed by the IMEP Grand Choir, and I have also composed for the guitar duo "Les Sauvages." I create numerous arrangements of music for films, video games, and songs.
My background as a musician, encompassing classical guitar, chamber music, and rock bands, informs this practice. I like to connect writing to what is heard and played, so that the concepts studied become genuine tools for creation.
🎶 What do you want to write or understand?
• Composition: invent melodies, develop patterns, work on rhythm, textures and contrasts to give shape to your ideas.
• Harmony: understanding the relationships between notes and chords, keys, modes, tensions and resolutions, and then using them in your own music.
• Arrangement: adapting a work from one instrument to another or from one ensemble to another, transforming an accompaniment and distributing the roles among the musicians.
• Film and video game music: composing around an atmosphere, a character or a scene, or adapting an existing theme.
• Instrumental writing and orchestration: consider the possibilities of instruments, registers, timbres and the balance of voices, from solo to ensemble and up to orchestra, according to your level and your project.
• Musical analysis: observe how a work is constructed, understand the writing choices and draw conclusions for your own practice.
• Music theory and theoretical foundations: consolidate note reading, rhythm, intervals or concepts that pose a problem for you, with explanations linked to musical examples.
Projects can span very different genres: writing in a specific classical style, contemporary music, film and video game scores, songs, pop or rock. We can also work on accompaniment, a riff, or the construction of an electric guitar solo.
These courses are not just for guitarists: you can write for piano, guitar, voice, band, chamber music ensemble or other formations.
🧩 Give your music structure
Finding a beautiful melody or stringing together a few chords is a starting point. How do you extend this idea? When do you repeat it, transform it, or introduce a contrast? How do you prepare a transition and build an ending?
I place great importance on structure: the development of ideas, proportions, repetitions, and the progression of the musical discourse. We work on both the details and the overall coherence.
By listening to and comparing different possibilities, you learn to connect your writing choices to their musical effects, to express more precisely what you want.
🌱 Progress at your own pace and become independent
The content, explanations, and exercises are tailored to your age, knowledge, and interests. You can follow a progressive learning path, delve deeper into a specific concept, or receive support for a personal project.
You don't need to have mastered all of music theory before starting: we build the necessary foundations as we work. The goal is for you to understand your choices and gradually acquire the tools to pursue your creative work independently.
