Like most musicians, I have long wondered how we could "organize" the learning of music by avoiding waste of time, energy, "repetition" and discouragement in front of such work ...

My approach focuses on 3 important points: the development of the inner ear, the knowledge of Harmony and the mastery of the instrument.

To describe a sound:
The auditory recognition of rhythms and heights makes it possible to develop the ear, by recording audio tracks directly on the instrument and / or on the score. To have a good ear is to recognize and name a sound (rhythm, interval, tone, chord, cadence ...).

Understand the musical grammar:
Harmony consists in explaining what are the chords and their sequences in various styles. The knowledge of Harmony helps a lot to choose the right nuances and good accents in the interpretation of a piece (including current music). It is essential for those who wish to compose or arrange.

Find effective positions on the instrument:
Finally, a reflection on the choice of fingerings greatly facilitates the interpretation of even very difficult pieces, and improves the sound result.

Imagine that the Music is a Planet, the 3 points above would be 3 angles of view different from this one: Harmony and analysis would be the hidden face, the ear would be the visible face and the game instrumental the surface ...

You want to learn how to play electric guitar or folk, but you do not know where to start?

Composer member of Sacem, I practice the guitar for over 35 years.
Rather than teaching you songs without really understanding what you play, I bring you the theoretical concepts that will allow you to build your own game.

We will also work on the instrument itself and learn to play on musical ensembles.

Possibility of distance learning via the Internet (Skype or other).

For more information, do not hesitate to contact me.
