Learn how to play songs and write songs (and learn some English too!)

From 42 € /h

Ideal for all ages who want to learn to play chords on guitar or piano. I also enjoy teaching the art of music writing.

I teach music in the most engaging way possible: by learning your favorite songs. You'll learn the basics of simple chords, how to use them in songs you already know, and then learn how to play them.
Of course, there will be some theory, but we will rely more on the ear than on tedious scores!

I teach in English, so it's a plus if you need help with the language or English phrases!

I also teach you how to create your own compositions on guitar and piano, and how to make them more original with interesting chord changes. And, of course, I can also teach you how to write songs that sound good in English.

Ideal for beginners or those looking to get started in composing pop, indie or soul music.

I'm a British singer-songwriter and producer based in New York City. I've written over 100 songs and perform regularly in New York City. In 2023, I was selected for a three-month artist residency in Memphis, Tennessee, where I composed a wide range of new material, from dark, introspective folk to energetic indie rock.

Professional musician, graduated from the Music Academy International with honors.
Guitarist especially, bassist from time to time and drummer a little bit..
Dynamic, attentive and passionate, I experience music in all its dimensions.

The guitar is an instrument that I love, that I like to make discover and share. No matter your style and your level, I will be there to facilitate its learning, thanks to my desire to transmit, to my patience, I know how to make my students progress so that they take as much pleasure in playing as me!

My method: For beginners, we will try to play as quickly as possible some pieces, riffs and melodies. I will introduce you to chords, different ways of accompanying, in arpeggios, in strumming, with percussions... and rhythm!

For intermediates, we can refine your playing by discovering specific guitar techniques: bends, slides, back and forth, sweeping, legato, tapping, string-skipping, chicken-picking, etc. There is plenty to do! 😅 We will further install your sense of rhythm, the true foundation of solid musical expression. I have a simple and infallible method for learning scales, harmony and knowing how to use them. We will start improvisation, this exhilarating feeling of letting go giving an incredible feeling of freedom, to demystify the great masters of the guitar: Hendrix, Django, Gilmour, Knopfler, Stevie Ray, Clapton, Gallagher, Page.. and the one you like!

For apprentice shredders, with my technical skills, I will analyze your playing, freeing the blocking points, explore the harmony while refining the implementation because rhythm is music!

And for the die-hards there remains: modes, melodious minor, diminished system, augmented, parton, modal harmony, knowing phrasing on different styles, intervals, pairs of triads, playing in arpeggios, jazz and bop, chromatic approaches, enclosures, diatonic, tritonic substitutions, polymodality, modern pentas, changes in flow, visualization of the neck, the CAGED system, the Coltrane Change, Petrucci, Guthie Govan, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie, Greg Howe, Nuno, Tom Quayle, Martin Miller, Matteo Mancuso, Rick Graham, Meshugg, Periph... 😉

I have played a lot, on stage, in the studio, and elsewhere, I could also advise you on equipment and on creating a repertoire. Finally, I have training as a Mix-Master sound engineer, passed at the CFSM under the direction of Nicolas SAFFRAY. We can see creation and mixing techniques specific to MAO if that suits you more.

If you like guitar, don't hesitate!

Do you want / have just started playing the guitar? Are you looking to learn a few songs? I would be more than happy to teach you guitar (Acoustic or Electric).

In the program:

- Basic techniques: Good position of the instrument / Playing with a plectrum, Arpeggio / Open and barre chords / Chaining / Rhythms / Scales / Reading tablature / Basics of improvisation.
- The songs: Learning of standard songs in line with the techniques and chords seen previously / Learning the songs you would like to learn / Learning songs of all styles (Pop, Rock, Funk, Blues, Jazz etc ...)
- Practical cases: Being a multi-instrumentalist and component on Logic Pro X, I also create personalized backing tracks so that the students can apply concepts that we will have seen in class (such as improvisation).
- Other: Ear training / Composition / Project assistance / Recording.

I listen to the student and adapt to his goals. My goal is to make him independent and enjoy playing the guitar.

See you soon in my next class!

I have been composing computer music for over 10 years.
In general, we will start the lessons by listening to one of your compositions and seeing everything that goes well in it, everything that can be improved etc ...
If you are looking to learn more about how to build your songs better, mix them better, or if you just want to learn how to better use your composition tool (Reaper, FL Studio etc ...), you are looking for me!

The guitar is an instrument that allows you to play a very wide variety of musical styles while singing at the same time. In this course, according to your desire, we can approach classical, blues, jazz but also current pieces with the possibility of accompanying oneself on vocals.

Hello,

My name is Fabien. I have been the director of the ISSÉTYS music school, located in Lyon 6 for 17 years.

I'm also a guitar teacher. My expertise is immense, fueled by extensive experience as a professional musician in my younger years. An expertise rich in theoretical and practical knowledge, the origins of which lie in my third-year studies in musicology, my DEM (Master of Music Studies), and my gold medal in jazz guitar and contemporary music.

I've been teaching since I was 20. I'm 52 now. I have over 16,000 hours of teaching experience under my belt!

Passionate and expert, teacher (L3 in educational sciences), I teach children, teenagers and adults. I practice active pedagogies (learning by doing) and the best way to learn music is to share it.

In more detail, I teach the styles Blues, Rock, Metal, Jazz, Funk, Classical, Bossa, Picking & Folk, but above all I teach the guitar, its functioning, its tips, its methodologies.

I also teach harmony, arranging and composition and improvisation.

My goal is to open the path of discovery to the learner by awakening their curiosity, their interest and to reinforce the acquired knowledge at expert and professional levels. I encourage all my students, I tell them that it is possible to try, to experiment, to make mistakes, but the most important thing is that they can flourish by having fun, by putting things into perspective, without putting too much pressure on themselves, by playing and that is the most important thing. I ask a lot of students through our common involvement, because I simply believe in their ability to appreciate, get involved, evolve and learn to play music.

It is a class focused on developing the skills with the guitar and also with singing if the student wants to.
Where we will cover the technique with the instrument learning to play the songs chosen by the student, that way you can learn the songs you love the most. For the experienced students we can start composing.
Instead of just playing boring technical exercises, from beginner to advanced you will learn all the basics and most important I will teach you the tools to identify any chord on the guitar, you can play and sing at the same time and learn any song you want from the chords.

The guitar is a commonly played instrument across the globe. It has traveled and transformed over the centuries, and is at the heart of diverse cultures and musical traditions around the world.
The guitar, whether electric, folk, classical... can be played in various ways, and we instinctively feel the desire to approach certain styles that inspire us in order to nourish and build our own playing!
This is what I experienced through my musical journey as an autodidact, as well as through professional training, and today I wish to pass this on.
