Emiliano Della Giovanna:
Professional drummer and specialized in Jazz.
Born in Naples, Italy
Living in Ghent, Belgium

Emiliano Della Giovanna was born into music. Born into an artistic family in Naples, Emiliano practiced guitar and drums in his youth. His passion for drums drives him to enroll in private music schools, where he is taught by several renowned musicians, including names such as Billy Cobham, Peter Erskine, Dave Weckl and Gregg Bissonette.
In 2006 Emiliano specializes in Jazz and is accepted at the conservatory in Siena, called Seminario Senesi di Musica Jazz. His talent is appreciated. He receives a scholarship to continue his studies at the seminar for Nuoro Jazz in Sardinia. In addition to his studies, he collaborates with Mr. Umberto Guarino and establishes a music school "Studio 40" in Naples. Here he teaches drum and rhythmic music theory.

During and after his studies Emiliano plays in various formations, from classical orchestras to Jazz and Rock bands, including Renzo Arbore, Vittorio Marsignia and Sergio Colicchio. MSC and Costa Crociere offer him nine contracts so that, in addition to teaching on the mainland, he travels around the world for eight years as part of an orchestra aboard various cruise ships. In February 2013, Emiliano moved to Ghent (Belgium) as a proud father, where he focused on jazz, world music and rock, as well as paternity. He is also active as a teacher at the Harteklop music school.

As director of the Artmusic music school in Destelbergen, founded in November 2015, Emiliano teaches drum, guitar and rhythmic music theory and organizes weekly jam sessions.

Hey,
My name is Jasper and I am a guitar teacher looking for new students.

For me it is important that you can develop your guitar skills in a motivational private lesson where the focus is on your interests.
During the lessons we can cover the genres rock, pop, funk, jazz, blues and everything in between.
The lessons are for students of all ages and levels. Knowledge of solfège is not required.

I studied at the conservatory in Rotterdam and Ghent and have been active as a professional musician for several years. I have 12 years of experience as a guitar teacher.

Lessons take place in Gentbrugge near the Keizerpark.
Does this seem like something for you?
Don't hesitate to send me a message.

Hope to see you soon!
Jasper

skills by taking on new challenges.

With us you will receive pleasant and varied guitar lessons, always adapted to your personal wishes and possibilities.

Children from 7 years are introduced to the instrument in a playful way and learn to play their first pieces using simple songs and clap games.

Pupils who are already a bit older, get acquainted with the secret language of the music and learn by doing the solfège they need with the pieces

Adults are also welcome, of course, with or without prior knowledge of solfège.

Hello

Since I moved to Mechelen I'm very eager to show people my passion.

I'm 29 and have some experience in music. I had many bands and do some live and studio work.

I studied music in Hasselt (Professional Bachelor degree), this makes it possible for me to teach different music styles and music theory.

1. Fully customized
-an individual personal training program:
(what you want to achieve / learn or can do on your guitar, regardless of your level or prior knowledge)

2.-within your own time
-we take into account your work, school or family agenda
- don't you have time to come here? Then we will come to you; at your home or at another location.

3. Within your own budget

-It is possible to spread your lessons and also their payment over time

4. No compulsory music theory or prior knowledge required
-If you would like to include music theory in your program, you can of course ...

5. Personal individual coaching method
-The coaching or teaching program is drawn up according to your specific questions. Usually we work on 3 levels:
1. Technology
(We ensure that you learn to perform the specific guitar techniques in a correct manner technically)
2. Insight / Analysis
(We make sure you know what you are playing, and understand it when you look at your guitar neck)
3. Repertoire
(We ensure that you learn real 'pieces' so that you also feel that you can play music, and not always just practice without more

You can contact me for classical guitar lessons starting from every level.
First and foremost I try to focus on good posture, sound and technique (fast fingers, precision, rhythm, ..)
The intention is to first give you as many tools / insight as possible so that I can measure your ambition / motivation.
Some books I work with:
- "The little guitar starter" (until 10 years old)
- Guitar Horizon I.
- Julio Sagreras I-III
- Pumping Nylon - Scott tenant

Als klassieke gitarist kan ik veel genres aan, alleen in de jazz heb ik geen ervaring. Voor praktisch al de rest kan je bij mij terecht. Ik ben geen professional, daarom kan je als vergevorderde gitarist misschien beter bij iemand anders terecht. Ik kan je ook leren noten lezen en de basis muziektheorie aanleren indien je dat wenst.

English:

As a classical guitarist, I can play many genres, only in jazz, I don't have any experience. For anything else, you can come to me. I am not a professional, therefore if you are already quite experienced in the guitar I think another teacher might be better suited. I can also teach you how to read music and touch upon basic music theory if you want.

Learning guitar is very easy. In the back of your mind you should know that the first steps are difficult, but once you get your rhythm, everything will go smoothly. Patience and perseverance are certainly tested, but the most important thing is that it remains fun. You can certainly choose a date to admire music with the string of the guitar.

I am Jess, a musician and producer from Ghent, graduated as a bachelor in music at PXL Hasselt. In the meantime I have been teaching guitar for 10 years at music studios and in the form of private lessons at home. Besides teaching I have my own project called Monagi and I write/produce for bands like Tout Va Bien and Patches. I also play guitar at TheShadow Machine. All my lessons take place in a relaxed atmosphere in my music studio in Ghent at your own pace.

For beginners: During our guitar lesson you can bring your own songs that you want to work on or together we will see what the best songs are for you and what you can learn the most from. This ranges from the basic chords that make up most pop / rock songs to playing along with the melody or accompanying yourself while singing. So you can play what you always dreamed of in no time!

For advanced users: Together we look at what you want to work on in terms of rhythm, soloing or improvisation. Which styles you are familiar with or which you would like to learn to play. These lessons are ideal for you if you want to broaden your knowledge of the guitar or if it feels like you've reached a plateau you can't get past.

Hey!

I, Laurent, have been around as a musician for a while. I studied for a master's degree in jazz guitar at the Ghent Conservatory. But I definitely have a broader perspective on music. Any genre is worth exploring!
Feel free to contact me if you'd like to learn more about guitar, techniques, sound, theory, etc.

Music is a important part of many people's lives. I strive for excitement in all things music related, because I believe that if someone can get excited and feels genuine happiness while playing, they can achieve anything in their field.

I provide lessons for improvisation, composition and theory for all levels. I have been playing for 11 years both as an enthusiast, performer and teacher.

Hi,
I studied jazzguitar in Luca school of arts (lemmens)
Then I started to learn double bass,
Now I’m experienced enough to teach myself teaching and learning from
Enthousiastic musical people. I have a passion and am happy to welcome you and spend time devoted to music!
Basic guitar playing to playing along by ear.
I am eager to pass the knowledge on to people who want to learn about playing guitar, from
Folk to jazz. I learn you about chords, jazz harmony. We look for songs to work on. I can give you homework, small achievements create big improvements!

MY CLASSES ARE OPEN TO ALL LEVELS, HOWEVER BASIC GUITAR KNOWLEDGE IS PREFERABLE,
FLAMENCO GUITAR IS MY EXPERTISE BUT I ALSO TEACH CLASSICAL GUITAR, SCALES, HARMONY, CHORDS ETC...

I DISCOVERED THE FLAMENCO GUITAR AT THE AGE OF THIRTEEN AND SOON MASTERED
THE RHYTHMI C COMPLEXITY OF THIS MUSIC. WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF,
I MOVED TO SEVILLE AND STUDIED THERE WITH MASTERS OF FLAMENCO GUITAR SUCH AS
GERARDO NÚÑEZ, JM CAÑIZARES, MANOLO SANLUCAR AND NIÑO DE P URA. MY VIRTUOSITY
WAS NOTICED AND THAT EARNED ME THE SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY AT THE FUNDACIÓN
CRISTINA HEEREN. I HAVE A THIRD DEGREE AND I WAS ALSO FINALIST AT THE FAMOUS
GUITAR CONTESTS I N MURCIA. ( SPAIN ).
ONCE BASED IN BELGIUM, I CONTINUED MY STUDIES AT THE JAZZ STUDIO IN ANTWERP.
IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE DEVELOPED A VARIED ARTISTIC CAREER AS A FLAMENCO
GUITARIST AND COMPOSER. MY MUSIC RANGES FROM TRADITIONAL FLAMENCO TO
BLENDS OF JAZZ, PERSIAN, TURKISH AND LATIN AMERICAN STYLES, WORKING WITH
MUSICIANS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS AS WELL AS DANCERS, SINGERS AND
ACTORS. WITH MY FLAMENCO - JAZZ GROUP SONIQUETE I RELEASED THE CD
BURBUJAS IN 2011.

I'm an electric guitarist for 17 years. I've been teaching guitar for 7 years and performin live for 10 years. Currently, I'm a masters student at KASK & Conservatorium.

Depending on your preferences in terms of genre and goals on the instrument (just keeping it as a hobby or getting professional at it), your curriculum will be shaped. Also it will be conducted while studying your favorite songs. One of my main goals is for you to be able to accompany your favorite pieces and understand the ideas behind those pieces better.

Lessons can be conducted both in English and Turkish.

The sooner you start the lessons, sooner you come closer to be a better guitar player!

Do you want to play that song you love on guitar?

You have some basic command of guitar already but you need some guidance. Perhaps you're uncertain which 'key' fits you best? Perhaps you're not sure if the song can even be played suitably on guitar? Where to start? Maybe you've tried already from a book or a YouTube video but it's just not happening? But, you just love a good melody ;-)

I'm a British singer/song-writer/guitarist who has played concert halls to festivals in the UK and toured Europe with my own songs. I was raised on the classics. Beatles, Kinks, Ray Charles, Hendrix, Prince etc

I've 'lived music' and 'lived from' music for many years. I performed thousands of intimate gigs and the vast majority of those have been solo performances. I've performed in-front of audiences of 50,000 and audiences of just 1.

I won't get too technical and I won't start scoring music. In fact my music theory is basic, and I wouldn't claim to teach it. But what I'll show you is the soul of the song. Where the rhythm lives, how the groove feels and how to interpret that in terms of guitar. I'll listen to where you're at and be able to direct you better. Playing the guitar is closely linked to 'performance' and that's especially true if you want to entertain others. Thats my strength. To make the guitar shine, to become one with the instrument suits an extension of your body. To 'play' music and feel the joy in doing that, so that it makes you feel good and anybody listening too! That's the goal. Thats the challenge. I believe I can help you with that.

“Music isn’t just a pleasure, a transient satisfaction. It’s a need, a deep hunger; and when the music is right, it’s joy. A foretaste of heaven.” —Orson Scott Card
