In addition to school classes, I offer guitar lessons (I can offer only guitar lessons if it's the ones you are interested in) since I myself played guitar for 11 years. The courses will be interactive and user-friendly for a performance first classic then reduced, it seems normal to get familiarized within a particular course.

My teaching method follows the same tone as the courses in the conservatory. I adapt according to the styles of each student. I can teach a 10-year-old child as well as a 60-year-old adult (Music has no age.)
I teach at my home (Hospitals Faculties) or at your home depending on everyone's availability.
The learning will be complete with study on musical training, on the instrument and on help with musical composition if necessary and at the request of the student.

Methodology
I have been giving guitar lessons for over 10 years.
I adapt my lessons according to the student (his age, level, expectations ...) and in class we always try to achieve goals by working most of the time pieces adapted to the musical tastes of the student.
I teach any style (blues, rock, jazz, funk, folk ...) except classical guitar. In my lessons it is not necessary to know music theory to start the guitar.
I am still very active as a stage musician which allows me to share this experience with my students and to be able to teach a "living language".

Small Bio:

I studied in London for 2 years at the Guitar Institute as well as 2 years near Paris at CMDL, one of the most prestigious jazz schools in France.
I accompany and I have accompanied many different artists (Moonlight Benjamin, Hindi Zahra, Vita Levina, Bast ...) in many countries (Brazil, Lithuania, Belgium, Spain, Slovenia, Serbia, Turkey etc ... ).

I created my group 2 years ago called Yo And The South.
We released a 1st Ep in 2019 and we are preparing the 2nd. We toured all over France

My learning system is based on total adaptation at the level of the student, understanding that each of us is different and that two people can learn the same musical idea differently. I have experience with students of all ages, beginners and children. It is therefore important for me to give students autonomy and knowledge, from technique to music, which allow them to become good musicians, and to enjoy the learning process while developing their creativity and their culture. I usually give my lessons in French, but I am also ready to give them in Spanish or English.

Music is an art and a discipline that has accompanied me throughout my life, which is why for 7 years I have been giving private lessons or in small groups to be able to teach my students everything I have learned. My classes are aimed at beginners, intermediate and advanced, from children to adults, whatever their age. Maybe 30 min, 45 min or 1 full hour.

Thank you and see you soon!

Hello to you, budding or experienced musician!

My name is Cyril, I am 33 years old, I am a professional musician.

Concert musician but also studio musician, multi-instrumentalist, arranger and composer.

I've been a guitar teacher since 2017, that's 8 years now and I still get so much pleasure from teaching music through the guitar :)

I deepened my knowledge of Jazz at JAM in Montpellier and I am currently training in the Jazz department of the Montpellier regional conservatory.

I prefer to teach a traditional method to my students to help them acquire the necessary foundations for effective and lasting personal development.

My courses and programs are tailored to each student, with follow-up.

* Special beginner program lasting 1 or 2 years.
* Special program for beginners in jazz.
* Special improvisation program

For advanced students, we review the basics first, then I teach them a more personal method based on my own technical developments, the result of a long and passionate effort.

For the different subjects and techniques, the courses consist of:

- Rhythmic Solfège

- Classical, Picking, Arpeggios played with the fingers, Fingerstyle, Alternating Bass accompaniment, etc...

- Advanced "Percussive Guitar" Techniques (striking the guitar while playing)

- Playing with a bottleneck guitar and various tunings

- Theory, Understanding Chords, Scales and Modes.

- Personal Development to Improvise in all keys and different modes.

- Basics & concepts of Harmony.

- Themes and explorations of musical styles:

Country
Blues
Rock
Flamenco
Bossa Nova
Funk
Folk
Celtic
Swing New Orleans
Jazz

- Learning to compose.

- Support in the development of a project.

* I can give music lessons in English *
*I can teach music class in English*

I also offer 1.5-hour classes that can be scheduled twice a month or more if needed.
Ideal for those who already have a busy schedule or want to study a little more in each class.

It is possible to take group classes with several students in the form of a workshop, in which case the price is reduced.

See you very soon!
