Good morning all! I am a student at Polytechnique Montréal (20 years old) and I love music, especially the guitar. Are you a guitar beginner? It is not serious! I'll teach you to read tabs, chords etc... If you're motivated to learn to 'scratch' as we say in the jargon, well, you just had to say it! Even if you don't have a guitar, I can bring mine and you can get an idea of your interest in the instrument! I can also help you improve your singing if you want to sing+play guitar. Thank you and long live rock'n'roll!
Ps: I have already given private lessons.
English is fine too!

MONTREAL GUITAR COURSE (NDG)

The art and practice of the guitar can be very inspiring, rewarding and fulfilling.

What would be your criteria for choosing a guitar class?

An effective educational approach

An effective pedagogical approach and proper training are essential to learning the guitar. It is important to develop a good understanding of musical language, a correct application of technique to progress in a balanced way with confidence. Learn at your own pace, step by step according to your personal goals.
A sincere commitment to students
A sincere commitment to the student, at all stages of development, is the cornerstone that will help students feel confident and inspired to develop their full potential and artistic vision, whatever they may be.
Why choose Eric as a teacher?

1. Many years of teaching experience.
2. Welcome to beginners and non-beginners, from primary level (ages 7 and up) to adults.
3. Exam preparation for music schools and recitals.
4. Graduate professor with experience (MA in Composition, Music, U. of M.).

5. Teaches at any level:
6 Directory of the guitar
7 Theory and analysis of music
8 Reading skills

o Creativity and composition
o Health and prevention issues related to music practice
o Writing songs
o Electronic music and film music

6. Teach all styles:

7. Health and prevention issues related to musical practice
8. Competitive rates and bilingual education.
9. Located in Notre-Dame-de-Grace, NDG (near the Villa-Maria and Vendome subways).
10. Guaranteed results.

My typical course would go like this:
First meeting: Familiarization with the instrument, the basics, what is a chord, tuning the guitar, etc.
Then: At each lesson a little theory, always applied, and obviously practice, learn pieces and / or repeat those already learned, to measure the progress of the student. At the end of the course I would give technical advice, things to practice or listen to if the student wants to go further. I don't intend to make myself indispensable, on the contrary I want to give the basics so that you can manage and have fun as quickly as possible.
One meeting per week is the best to have rapid progress, but I also adapt to the needs and capacities of the student, the main thing is that the guitar is always a pleasure, and never a chore!

Guitarist with 9 years of experience, having already played in several groups and associations, often specialized in rhythm, but also sometimes soloist. I still participate in jam sessions from time to time.
I myself learned with a particular teacher for the basics before continuing as an autodidact, but the best training remains to play in a real group.
I can initiate you or consolidate your bases and make you practice by making you play with me.
I always take my students' tastes into account because I think you have to like what you do to want to progress, so I don't force them to work on a style or songs that they don't like.

I will teach you:
- to read tablatures,
- the basics of music theory such as scales,
- the notion of rhythm and how to hold it,
- different rhythmic and solo techniques, as well as playing with fingers or with a plectrum (= a pick)

I have an electric guitar and an electro-acoustic one, whatever your style, I can teach you to play on electric or on acoustic. I also have a little knowledge on the material side of guitars and accessories, how to choose the right material is also important!

Learning a musical instrument does not happen overnight, it takes time, patience, discipline and, most importantly, the desire to make music. My course is designed to give all the tools, technical and theoretical, to someone who wants to learn to improvise, read music notes, memorize music and develop their musical ear.

Everything is done in a good atmosphere, humor and relaxation, the ultimate goal is to progress while having fun!

Music is a creative and fun way to express yourself. What better way to learn a new skill by learning some of your favourite songs?

By taking this course, I will guide you through Guitar chord basics, understand popular song structures, no previous music theory is required!

By providing me with your favourite tunes, I will also walk you through the process of "reverse-engineering" the track in order to recreate the music at your own pace.

I am a professional musician from Montreal, Canada and I have performed and produced albums with Folly & the Hunter (CAN) and Geoffroy (CAN). I have major touring experience and I am currently performing music in Amsterdam.

Professional guitarist and teacher for more than 20 years, I have a solid experience in instruction. I evolved in many academies and schools in order to teach music theory, technique and harmony from beginner to advanced level. My method is based on Musician Institute of Los Angeles courses.

With 15 years of experience as a guitarist, including 4 years of teaching and 2 years as a band member, I offer personalized guitar lessons for all levels. Classes are open to all ages and all styles of music.
As a passionate musician and experienced educator, I am determined to share my knowledge and help each student achieve their musical goals. My personalized approach adapts to the specific needs of each learner, whether you are an enthusiastic beginner or a seasoned player looking to perfect your technique.

**Biography:**

Nadine holds a B.F.A. in Integrative Music Studies from Concordia University with a focus on guitar. She has been a certified teacher at Montreal Academy since 2009.

As a vibrant presence in Montreal’s music scene, Nadine performs regularly with her solo project as well as with various local and international artists. Her musical journey began at the age of five, inspired by her grandmother's Arabic piano classics. She transitioned to guitar during high school, where she played in rock bands, and continued her studies in jazz and classical guitar at CEGEP and university. Over the past six years, she has delved into the oud, integrating it into her original compositions.

With 26 years of teaching experience, Nadine offers instruction in a diverse range of styles, including Pop, Funk, Blues, Rock, R&B, Jazz, and Classical. Whether you aim to learn an instrument, write songs, prepare for an audition, or explore creativity across various musical genres, Nadine provides the tools and guidance needed to achieve your goals. Her lessons cover sight-reading, songwriting, ear training, improvisation, fingerpicking techniques, and more, all tailored to each student’s musical interests.

Cédric offre une approche pédagogique où la théorie musicale est au service du jeu et où l'autonomie est au cœur de l'apprentissage. Avec un encadrement personnalisé, les jeunes et les plus vieux apprendrons comment progresser par eux-mêmes. Ils tisseront un lien entre théorie et musique au travers d'exercices orientés sur le jeu et l'improvisation.

À mon avis, la musique s'apprend le mieux quand elle nous passionne. C'est pour cette raison que mon cours mettra toujours vos attentes au premier plan. C'est en fonction de vos buts et intérêts que nous approcherons la technique, l'application pratique et la théorie, jamais l'inverse. En termes de styles musicaux, mon expertise inclus : Pop, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Soul, R&B

Une leçon typique commence avec deux questions :
-"Qu'avez-vous fait cette semaine en musique?"
-"Avez-vous des questions ou des suggestions?"
Nous pourrons alors déterminer quel sujet privilégier pour la semaine : apprendre une chanson, travailler une technique, explorer des concepts ou approfondir la théorie. Tout cela dépendra des intérêts et des objectifs de chaque élève. Enfin, mon objectif ultime est de vous apprendre à devenir autonome dans votre apprentissage. Étant moi-même musicien autodidacte, je suis convaincu que cette compétence offre un immense potentiel de progression.

I'm going to help you build an effective practice routine. That's the most important thing! We'll talk about listening, transcription, repertoire, vocabulary, phrasing, articulation, harmony, and technique. I keep the lesson notes and comments in an online document so you can review them anytime. I currently have 3 spots available. Priority is given to regular students (weekly or bi-weekly), but I'm open to one-off requests if my schedule allows.

The courses are given at my home in Montreal or online.
