Guitar is often taught through the memorization of shapes and repetitive exercises. While these tools can be useful, they do not necessarily help us understand what we are actually doing musically or how the instrument itself really works.
In these lessons, I will help you develop both technical and musical awareness from the very beginning by connecting the ear to the instrument. Rather than separating creativity from technique, we will gradually integrate rhythm, harmony, improvisation, theory, and repertoire into practical music-making!
Guitar is an amazing instrument to quickly delve into musical repertoire while progressively developing a broader understanding of both music and the instrument itself. Furthermore, aside from learning the basics, I will show you catchy grooves, creative accompaniment techniques, and beautiful chord variations across a broad variety of styles ranging from Pop, Rock, Blues, and Folk to Jazz, Prog, Fusion, and World Music.
[According to the style, we can also work with loops and effects.]
Over the years, I have worked with students of different ages, levels, and backgrounds through private lessons, workshops, ensemble coaching, and conservatory teaching, repeatedly experiencing the effectiveness of approaching the instrument through creativity, embodiment, and audiation. A crucial part of this approach is that learning becomes more engaging, musical, and ultimately, more enjoyable.
The lessons will be custom made for each student. Whether you are taking your very first steps on the instrument or looking to deepen your musical understanding, I will adapt to your learning rhythm while keeping you challenged at the same time. You will receive regular feedback, advice, guidance, and materials.
