Guitar lessons for kids, teens and adults

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Guitar teacher for many years, I am passionate about jazz, blues, folk and fingerpicking.

My classes address in the greatest relaxation, the bases of these different styles. Chaining chords in a fluid way, exploring different rhythms, correctly placing a melody, trying improvisation (jazz, blues, rock), developing finger-playing techniques (classical or folk), are all elements at the center of learning. These are deepened by notions of musical theory and / or solfeggio.

Teacher trained in the "Arc-en-sons" method, I also teach children from 4 years

Classes are for Beginner and Intermediate levels.

Individual lessons (20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes).

Group lessons (60 or 90 minutes).

Possibility of collective workshops (3h, min 4 participants).

Hope to meet you!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Guitarist for over 20 years, I teach guitar in various styles (jazz, rock, funk, blues, fingerpicking, bossa nova ...).

The children's lessons are based on the Arc-en-Sons method, allowing to start the guitar from 4 years old. The learning is based on the senses of the child (hearing, sight, touch), play and singing. Once acquired the technical subtleties of the instrument, this method opens to any form of teaching of the guitar, classical or other. We learn music theory directly on the instrument and melodies known on tablatures.

For teenagers and adults the courses include:

- reading notes

- Learning chords and application on known songs.

- mediator and finger play technique

- learning improvisation jazz, blues and rock.

I give lessons at home or via skype

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am naturally patient and calm. I currently give classes to 25-30 students aged 4 to 65 years old.
My method is not fixed and adapts to the objectives and level of each. Depending on the musical tastes, I work pieces of progressive difficulty by discovering or deepening certain techniques specific to particular guitar styles (jazz, blues, classical, bossa nova, ...). In class, theory can precede practice, accompany it or follow it.
My greatest satisfaction: to see progress.

Trumpet school in Brussels
New trumpet school in Brussels whose teaching method is unique in Belgium. It is based on the student's memory technique (visual, auditory, bodily). We are all different and it is not the pupil who must adapt to the pedagogical project but it is this one which must be thought according to him. This method is also based on the flourishing of music. Our courses are not limited to the learning of the instrument as such, we place great emphasis on the assimilation of music by the body. For this we train the student in body rhythm and we include outings, among other sports, in our program. The school's teachers are specialized in various fields: jazz, classical, instrument technique, improvisation technique,... which will allow the student to choose according to his desires and to meet his expectations. He will also benefit from personalized follow-up. Our courses are open to all levels. It is the student who will determine his schedules with his teacher. This flexibility will give him great freedom in the organization of his schedule. The school curriculum is spread over three years and will allow the student to acquire a knowledge of a large part of scales, rhythms, to develop his musical ear, a culture of the great moments of the music and to have a better knowledge of his body through the approach of rhythm and breathing. The prospects sought by our school for the pupil is that he can quickly be confronted with the happiness of playing in a group.

Camille
Electric guitar, acoustic, folk lessons in Uccle
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.
