I am 19 years old and offer guitar lessons from home.

I have been playing guitar since childhood and was able to gain experience as a guitarist in a big band and a musical line-up. My favorite field is funk / jazz, but I can also convey knowledge of song accompaniment, fingerstyle and rock. I am mainly targeting beginners but also advanced users.

I currently use Skype as a platform for my lessons, but I am open to other technical solutions.

About Me

I tailor my lessons completely to the wishes, goals and existing skills of my students and build my learning concept on them. "Every Jeck is different" is not for nothing and so everyone needs a different approach. I try to implement this in my guitar lessons as best as possible. I aim for the fastest possible, visible progress so that the student can experience a sense of success as quickly as possible and the interest, motivation and fun in the instrument remain.

Education

I have been playing guitar since my childhood and have been able to gain experience as a guitarist and bassist in various big bands, ensembles, musical bands and duos for several years.
I graduated from high school in 2018 and am now aiming to become a sound designer.

Experience / Qualifications

I've been playing guitar since I was a child and now I'm learning piano and bass.
I was already allowed to play the guitar in a wide variety of formations / styles. (Funk, jazz, rock, flamenco, classical, song accompaniment around)
I attended a theory course for several years (harmony, general bass etc.)
I have taken part in various music workshops and preparatory courses.

The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS.

Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress.

Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward.

The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you.

We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire!

(For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...)

If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class.

In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero.
The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty.

I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... .
There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly.

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.

هل تحلم بتعلم الموسيقى بطريقة احترافية مبنية على الفهم العميق وليس فقط التقليد؟ هل ترغب في امتلاك مهارة العزف أو الغناء بثقة، والانتقال تدريجيًا من مستوى المبتدئ إلى مستوى متقدم حقيقي؟

أقدم دروسًا موسيقية شاملة ومتكاملة أونلاين، مبنية على منهج واضح ومدروس يبدأ معك من الصفر تمامًا، حتى لو لم تمسك آلة موسيقية من قبل، ويأخذك خطوة بخطوة نحو مستوى متقدم واحترافي، مع متابعة فردية دقيقة تضمن تطورك الحقيقي.

أنا معلمة موسيقى حاصلة على درجة الماجستير في الموسيقى، وعازفة بخبرة عملية في الأداء والتدريس، وأؤمن أن كل شخص يمكنه تعلم الموسيقى إذا تم توجيهه بالطريقة الصحيحة. هدفي ليس فقط تعليمك العزف أو الغناء، بل مساعدتك على فهم الموسيقى كلغة متكاملة والتعبير عن نفسك من خلالها بثقة واحتراف.

مجالات التدريس تشمل:
البيانو: تعلم أساسيات العزف، القراءة من النوتة، التكنيك الصحيح، والتدرج حتى أداء مقطوعات متقدمة.
العود: فهم المقامات، تقنيات الريشة، التحكم في التعبير، والعزف بأسلوب شرقي أصيل.
الغيتار: أساسيات العزف، الإيقاعات، الكوردات، وعزف الأغاني بطريقة صحيحة وسلسة.
الغناء: تدريب صوتي متكامل يشمل التحكم في النفس، تحسين الطبقة الصوتية، النطق الصحيح، وتطوير الأداء.
المقامات المشرقية: دراسة عملية ونظرية للمقامات، كيفية الانتقال بينها، واستخدامها في العزف والغناء والارتجال.
الموسيقى النظرية: فهم النوتة الموسيقية، الإيقاع، السلم الموسيقي، والهارموني بطريقة مبسطة وعملية.
الصولفيج: قراءة النوتة، التدريب السمعي، الإملاء الموسيقي، وتقوية الأذن الموسيقية بشكل ملحوظ.

يعتمد البرنامج التعليمي على مبدأ التدرج المنظم، حيث يتم تقسيم التعلم إلى مراحل واضحة:
المرحلة الأولى: بناء الأساس من الصفر، التعرف على الآلة أو الصوت، وفهم المبادئ الأساسية.
المرحلة الثانية: تطوير المهارات التقنية والبدء في التطبيق العملي من خلال تمارين وأعمال موسيقية.
المرحلة الثالثة: الوصول إلى مستوى متقدم يشمل التعبير الموسيقي، العزف بثقة، والقدرة على أداء مقطوعات أو أغاني بشكل متكامل.
المرحلة الرابعة: مرحلة الاحتراف النسبي، حيث يصبح الطالب قادرًا على الاعتماد على نفسه، وتحليل الموسيقى، والارتجال خاصة في الموسيقى الشرقية.

ما يميز هذه الدروس:
منهج واضح ينقلك من الصفر إلى الاحتراف بشكل تدريجي ومدروس.
شرح مبسط وعميق في نفس الوقت، يناسب جميع المستويات.
تركيز على التطبيق العملي وليس الحفظ فقط.
دمج بين العزف والغناء لتطوير الحس الموسيقي الكامل.
تطوير الأذن الموسيقية والقدرة على التمييز بين النغمات والمقامات.
بناء ثقة الطالب بنفسه وتشجيعه على الأداء والتعبير.

أسلوب التدريس يعتمد على التفاعل والتخصيص، حيث يتم تصميم كل حصة حسب مستوى الطالب وهدفه، سواء كان التعلم كهواية، أو تطوير مهارة معينة، أو الوصول إلى مستوى احترافي. يتم تقديم تمارين مخصصة، ومتابعة مستمرة، وتصحيح دقيق للأداء لضمان التقدم الفعلي.

الدروس مناسبة للأطفال، المراهقين، والكبار، ولا يشترط وجود أي خبرة سابقة. كما أنها مناسبة أيضًا لمن لديه أساس ويرغب في تطوير مستواه بشكل منهجي واحترافي.
