Guitar lessons at your home or online through skype/zoom

Do you have a guitar that feels lonely in your home ? Would like to be able to play some beautiful guitar music? If so, my goal is to give you everything you need to become an autonomous musician : technical skills, understanding of music theory, sight-reading (nothing to be afraid of!), and development of your very own musical sensibility - all while enjoying yourself.


I'm a diplomed classical guitar teacher in France, finished a Performance Master in Basel Musik Akademie and am now pursuing a Music Pedagogy Master. My greatest joys are to perform and to teach, and generally speaking sharing my love for my instrument. I have 8 years experience in teaching and always strive to find better strategies and most adapted methods for every pupil that I meet, from 6 to 70+ years old.

===NEW ONLINE FORMULA===

With the lockdown situation, I now offer two different possibilites :

- live video lessons, charged at the hour like an usual face-to-face lesson, at the frequency you choose ;

- You send me as many videos and questions that you like; I answer under 24 hours with either text, scores and PDF material, video or audio recording, with the feedback and assignments you need, plus one check-in live 30 minutes call every two weeks, if you wish to.
That's the good option if you like working by yourself on your own time, don't want to add appointments in your week, and want to get a lot of value.

If you're interested in starting online classical guitar lessons with me, please send me a message so we can discuss which option would fit you best!

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

About Me

My name is Clara, I'm 25, and I love sharing my passion of playing the guitar with beginners as well as already advanced students.
I genuinely think that everyone who feels this desire has the potential to (re)connect with their inner musician, regardless of their age or "abilities", as long as there is some kind of motivation, love for the music, and -of course!- hard work. Especially if you are an adult and possibly believe that it's too late for you, don't be afraid of starting now : you will be surprised by what you can achieve !
I always try to be flexible and to adapt to the person I have in front of me, in order to give them the most appropriate tools depending on personalities and taste.

Reviews (5)

Clara is a great teacher! Learning guitar is easy-peasy! Can only recommend her!
Clara pitches the class at just the right level for my 8 year old son and he is always very happy to have his class with Clara. She is flexible and patient and he is already making progress after two lessons. I would happily recommend Clara.
Clare identified areas where I could improve and exercises ro overcome problems. She also answered several big questions I had about technique. I think the next classes wil.build on the path charted in the first lesson. She is both critical and encouraging.
Great course, great patience!

My daughter really enjoyed her first class, and is very excited about continuing! Updated: We've done 10 classes, and things are great. My daughter enjoys playing and Clara is really good!

Gianni
Guitar lessons for all levels in Basel, at my home or at yours.
My name is Gianni, I'm a professional musician, currently living in Basel and doing my master's degree in double bass at the Musik Akademie Basel. I've been playing and studying music since I was 7 years old; I started with classical guitar, then electric guitar and electric bass, then I started double bass and lately I'm learning saxophone. I would say my main instruments are guitar and bass and I have been teaching these for 5 years to students of different levels and different aspirations. For me it is very important to understand what the student wants and needs to guide him on the best path; I also try to always make the classes a fun learning environment. I could teach at my school - the jazz camps, in Basel - or at the student's home.

Lezioni di Chitarra per principianti ed esperti - Guitar lessons for beginners and experts
Sono un musicista e compositore specializzato in chitarra e nella musica Jazz, con esperienza nell'ambito Rock e Pop, e anche in altri stili musicali. Nelle mie lezioni di chitarra imparerai le nozioni base per poter suonare questo strumento. Potrai imparare a suonare brani e riff della tradizione Rock e Pop, o canzoni Jazz come gli Standards o brani più moderni. Imparerai scale e arpeggi che ti saranno di fondamentale importanza per approcciarti al concetto di improvvisazione. Ebbene si, potrai imparare ad improvvisare e scrivere della tua musica! Per i più "avanzati" si andrà più a fondo in argomenti, come la tecnica sullo strumento piuttosto che l'improvvisazione, lo sviluppo del senso melodico e ritmico o composizioni originali. Insieme studieremo brani e approfondiremo la teoria musicale per usarla nella pratica. Condividerò con voi i miei approcci per scrivere musica e sviluppare creatività. Ma soprattuto, a prescindere dal tuo livello attuale, ti divertirai! Non vedo l'ora di vedervi! I am a musician and composer specializing in guitar and Jazz music, with experience in Rock and Pop, and in other musical genres. In my guitar lessons you will learn the basics of playing this instrument. You will learn to play traditional Rock and Pop songs and riffs, or Jazz songs as Standard or modern songs. You will learn scales and arpeggios that will be absolutely important for you to get closer to the concept of improvisation. Yes, you will learn how to improvise and write your own music! For the more "advanced" we will go deeper into topics, such as the technique of the instrument, improvisation, the development of the melodic and rhythmic sense or your original compositions. Together we will learn songs and delve into music theory to put it in a practical way. I will share with you my approach for writing music and developing creativity. But most of all, regardless of your level, you will have fun! I am looking forward to see you!

Plucklessons
Plucklessons - Guitar - Focus your expressive energy and transform it into music...
If you are looking to focus your creative energy and have tools to express yourself in the music, this can be a good option. My wish is to be able to offer the student the possibility of finding his way according to his concerns, understanding the instrument as a tool incorporated to the individual to express himself. If you are able to clarify your musical ideas, you will be more communicative when you play music. Communicative of what can not be expressed in words, like that potential that you don ́t know yet about yourself... Since 2009 I work in the teaching of musical language with guitar from children to adults of all levels. I currently work in the Master of the Hochschule fur Musik, Basel. For now, I can offer lessons in English, Spanish and Italian. The Deutsch is coming soon. For any question, I am at your disposal. Welcome :)

Apollonia Maria
Beginner to Advanced Lessons for Guitar Players for all ages
After dedicating 14 years to mastering the guitar, I've developed a comprehensive understanding of guitar playing, encompassing both foundational techniques and advanced music theory. In these lessons, I'll be sharing the wealth of knowledge I've accumulated over this extensive period of learning. I will be covering a broad range of guitar techniques, including fingerpicking, strumming techniques, major and minor chords, power chords, barre chords, riffs, scales, finger warm-ups, practising any song of your choice, string bending, pull-offs, hammer-ons, harmonics, strumming patterns, and slides. All are provided with diagrams etc. For music theory, I will begin by covering the fundamentals, including notes, strings, and the musical 12-note chromatic scale alphabet on the guitar. As students progress, we will delve into more advanced topics such as tones, semitones, chord progressions, circle of fifths, scale formulas and chord terminology. Additionally, we will explore concepts like consonance and dissonance and pitch practice to develop relative pitch. (You have to be born with perfect pitch but you can learn relative pitch with practise!) Then advancing to jazz theory, we'll explore; jazz scale formulas, jazz chord progressions, swing techniques, major and minor 7th chords, major and minor 9th chords, dominant, augmented, half-diminished, diminished, sus2 and sus4 chords. And then jazz scales and the art of re-harmonising a song (changing the chords to jazz chords). All music theory will be intertwined with guitar practice as both can't be done without the other! One observation I've made while learning guitar through lessons is that information is often doled out incrementally, making it feel like a breadcrumb trail. Guitar knowledge and skills seem to be closely guarded and usually gatekept unless actively sought out. I strongly believe that the extensive knowledge I've acquired over 14 years of playing should be fruitfully shared in a more comprehensive and accessible manner, of course while being tailored to the pace of the students. In essence, I'm convinced that the depth of my understanding I've gained could be effectively conveyed and learnt within a two-year timeframe without including the time it takes to master the skill with practice, of course, I'd like to make it easier for people to learn the guitar and the theory behind it. I have also graduated with a distinction for my Music Performance and Production UAL Level 3 Course and have experience teaching guitar in London and Bristol before. The lessons will be taught in English so practising your English with me is also a plus, a foundational knowledge of English is required to take the lessons.
