We work the techniques, rhythmic styles and harmony typical of flamenco.
Once the pupil has acquired a certain mastery of the instrument, he can learn to accompany song and dance in order to complete his learning; let's say that the accompaniment of song and dance is what will allow the student to live a real experience of flamenco and thus feed on the ingredients necessary to learn and understand all the richness and complexity of this art.
The accompaniment of the song:
At first, we will study rhythmic formulas on precise chords, then in a second time, we will play these formulas with the singer (recorded on audio tracks). In order to make learning more lively, the student will be able to accompany the teacher who will sing certain styles and will be able to participate in monthly workshops to accompany song and dance with a singer, a dancer and other students.
The student can also film during the lesson to be able to work at home more efficiently.
Finally, distance learning courses are possible, via Whatsapp or Skype.

EVERY CHILD CAN! Learning to play the guitar according to the Suzuki method is more than just music! We learn by the approach of the "Mother Tongue", playing and having fun. Children - from the age of 3 - develop, among other things, listening, memory, musical sense, concentration, discipline, respect. Collective workshops stimulate learning, and children learn to play together.
The "Suzuki Triangle", teacher, parent, student, reinforces the parental-child bond. Parents learn with their child and participate in lessons.
Music theory is included in the lessons, in a fun way.
Professor graduated from the Conservatoire with honors, graduated from the Suzuki method in Turin.
Also available for adult classes!

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Whether a complete beginner or a student preparing for competitions, my goal is to give each student the tools to achieve their own personal goals - and make music a positive influence in their life.

I aim to teach my students the skills necessary to be able to explore the guitar with independence and confidence, so that they can use their knowledge regardless of the style and repertoire they choose to play.

I strive to create a fun and motivating atmosphere in my classes, while providing the technical, theoretical and artistic tools necessary to progress quickly.

About me :

I obtained my bachelor's degree from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance in 2022, my master's degree in musical performance from HEM Geneva in 2024, and I am currently pursuing a master's degree in pedagogy at HEM Geneva in Judicael Perroy's class.

Having played classical guitar since the age of 9, I regularly participate in concerts, masterclasses, and international competitions - where I have won several awards. I have years of experience teaching children and adults, both in Geneva and abroad.

We will cover targeted concepts and techniques to achieve your goals and adapted to the way you learn best. Sheet music, oral, visual, annotations or adapted scores are all tools that I keep at my disposal according to needs. Music theory can help some people, in certain forms and in measured doses, while others, on the contrary, do not need it. It does not take me much time to learn to understand you and from the first session I will have targeted one or more approaches that will suit you. I still have one rule at heart, and that is to always maintain musicality and take pleasure even when playing simple things or exercises. Learning should never become a chore and should be a pleasure just as much as enjoying a good level of playing.
