Guitar lessons in Brussels. Playing guitar is not only fun, but it's also good for you. Put down that game controller for an hour a day, because playing guitar is a great way to exercise your brain. Did you know that studies show that playing a musical instrument both improves memory and activates creative thinking in the player's brain?

Amplification and connection cables provided during lessons at the teacher's home. Students only need to bring their guitar and a desire to learn.

I seek above all to put forward the game with the instrument, and connect it to the theory.
You do not have to know music theory at your fingertips to learn how to play an instrument, and if you want to progress more effectively and understand what you are doing and why you are doing it, the theory becomes an asset.

There is no age limit when the courses I offer, suitable for both the youngest and the oldest, whether the practice of the instrument or solfeggio.

We will approach the report to the instrument, with a method that focuses on the qualitative rather than the quantitative.

The education of the ear is essential, with step-by-step progression and beneficial background work for the instrument.

The learning of harmony, improvisation and reading are paths that we can explore at your convenience.

Finally we will adapt the course to suit your style preferences and pieces that inspire you.
Music is and must remain a pleasure and a passion.

• Jazz guitar student at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels
• 3 years of study at the "Jazz/Pop Studio" in Antwerp
• 16 years of practice
• Animator certified by the French Community

These are the points that I address during a one-hour lesson, following a learning method that I have specially designed for children: fun, creative and rewarding!

• A repertoire of songs and melodies with increasing difficulties so that the student progresses methodically.
• A first approach to music theory and music theory in a coloring workshop for the little ones, in a musical context for the older ones.
• Technical exercises, always in a musical context, in order to allow the student to overcome the technical difficulties of the guitar and to guide him towards total musical independence.
• A “listening and discovery” part where I try to introduce the student to aspects of music that they are unaware of (improvisation, sound of instruments, different musical styles, the role of each instrument in a group/orchestra, etc.). ..)

As said before, my goal is to guide the student towards musical independence so that he can progress on his own in the long term. Learning the guitar also means developing self-confidence, creativity, perseverance and methodology.

- Master in jazz guitar (Royal Conservatory of Brussels/Lemmens Instituut Leuven)
- Additional module in Jazz Arrangement (writing for large ensemble - octet, nonet, big band, etc.)
- 4 years of experience at the Cavell Music School and 2 years at the Maria Boodschap Instituut primary school.

I teach all styles, according to the student's preference, and at all levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
My teaching method varies depending on the style and your desires. I see learning the instrument along three lines: accompaniment, musical understanding and improvisation. I try to give the student a solid foundation so that he can become independent as quickly as possible and can learn pieces by himself or accompany himself.

Many "theoretical" courses are available in videos and offered after the course (different scales, chords etc...).

I started playing guitar in September 1996.I have performed extensively, including tours in a variety of bands, as a rhythm guitarist, lead guitarist, and composer. I have studied with private teachers or on my own, carefully selecting my books and teaching methods.I can teach pop and rock guitar in the broadest sense of the term, whether through pick playing or finger-picking. In addition, I have extensive knowledge of production, mixing, editing, and electronic music, which makes me very knowledgeable about effects pedals for electric guitarists. However, I teach both folk and electric guitar. I have been giving private lessons since 2008, alongside my life as a professional musician.

The music lessons I offer are designed to be a space for discovery and personal growth, free from academic pressure. Whether you're learning your favorite pieces or deepening your technical understanding of your instrument, together we'll explore your needs and desires. Each lesson is tailored to the individual student (if you're learning an instrument and also want to sing, I'd be delighted). Creativity is equally important; improvisation (through the study of jazz) and composition (of music and lyrics) are more than welcome, if desired.

I offer classes in music composition, guitar, music theory, or all three!

I offer advanced lesson in compositions for students who are already writing would like to improve any aspects of their practice, or to revisit fundamentals and find new ways to develop material. I also have a special interest in experimentation and alternative notations so feel free to bring your wildest ideas!

For Guitar:
I work mainly with beginners / improvers, and my approach is to teach the techniques of various artists through learning songs as they were originally played. For fingerpicking this includes for example Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and many more! Alongside this we will cover the basics of guitar playing, going equally into alternative tunings and extended techniques. I am very patient, and can always find the right way to explain something, so the lessons will move at the ideal pace for you.
