Learn how to play guitar, write your own songs, or both!

Àpd 30.52 $ /h

I provide guitar lessons that mainly focus on bringing out your style and expressing your sound. I can teach you a lot to do with the acoustic, in regards to fingerpicking, open chords, alternate tunings, etc. We'll identify which exercises you'll need to practice to get to the spot you want, and I'll provide you with many things to take home and practice on your own. I can also teach you any of your favourite songs that you want to learn.

I also provide songwriting/composition lessons. With songwriting, there are so many aspects, like constantly changing melodies, harmonies, lyrics, mood, theme, instrument arrangements, and so forth. For beginners, I can teach you how to get started with songwriting in a way that you'd soon be able to go home and easily write songs by yourself. For more advanced songwriters, I can critique your writing process in a way that ensures you get the best song possible. Especially for native French speakers, I can help you write better English lyrics, and work alongside you in your own songs that you want to put out.

Bring your instrument for lessons and a notebook for songwriting!

Présentation

I'm a singer-songwriter from Colorado, US. I have played guitar all my life and love the instrument to death, but especially love passing that knowledge onto others in whatever way I can. I've been a songwriter for quite a while as well, and have written around 600 songs in my life.

Education

I've completed high school with a 3.9 GPA. In those years I had 4 semesters worth of intensive band class where I was first seat trumpet. I have had 6 years worth of choir. To be honest, I am completely self taught with guitar and never had a lesson in my life. Its just playing it repeatedly day after day and learning. That's not to say I don't know anything about the theory behind it, because that part naturally comes too.

Expérience / Qualifications

I've played guitar for my church the past eight years. I've filled several notebooks with around 600 songs. I've recently put out an E.P. where everything was written, produced, mixed, and sung by me.

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Je suis multi-instrumentiste arrangeur/compositeur et je donne des cours de guitare.
Je suis polyvalent dans ma manière d'enseigner et m'adapte en fonction de ce que souhaite apprendre l'élève et en fonction de la méthode dont il souhaite apprendre.
Nous pouvons travailler la technique de l'instrument soit par l'apprentissage du solfège, le travaille sur partition, les gammes et la théorie musicale, ou simplement par le travaille de l'oreille en analysant et en reproduisant des morceaux que l'élève souhaite apprendre. Ou bien un mix des deux ;) !
Je mets un certain accent sur l'étude, le développement et la compréhension du rythme.

Hello !

I'm Etienne, I'm a professional electronic music producer and guitarist.
I have been practicing MAO (computer-assisted music) for more than ten years, notably within a Techno music group in which I was able to train in sound engineering with a qualified engineer. of INFA.
I was also able to perfect my approach to composition by training with a teacher at the American School of modern music Paris.

I'm part of a Techno duo Sana + Nasa (more recently renamed "AZA:ZEL").
We are in the artist catalog of the booking agency La Quarantaine, our music has been published on labels such as SCTR, Carcères Records, Jaelos and Afterhours and we have had the privilege of playing several times in Paris, Berlin and Zagreb. I also had the opportunity to do podcasts on The Techno Children and Eletronic Subculture and finally on television on Clubbing TV (international broadcast)

I started teaching music (electronic music and guitar) in 2019 and I regularly give lessons to around ten students, both girls and boys!

Everything can take place in my studio as if by video. I give lessons for both advanced level students and beginners who have no experience.
I currently have a Techno project, a beatmaking project (selling pop, rap and electro instrumentals) and I am also part of a metal band... which means that I teach several styles of music !

Together we will be able to discover:

- composition (arrangement)
- Mixing and mastering
- DJing

I can also advise you on the equipment you will need (a computer and a good headset are more than enough at the start) and I will help you install everything you need, free installation ;)

There are 1000 training courses on YouTube, the only problem is that there is food and drink, a lot of training provided and not always in the right order. I first started learning computer music on my own and it was a long process! Especially because I had to unlearn a lot of things.
As a teacher, I will be able to support you in your learning and guide it so that you can ingest the right information in the right order and ensure that you have understood it perfectly.
In short, I will save you a lot of time, time which can be counted in years of learning.
One of my students started with me 5 months ago, he started with almost no knowledge of computer music, today he plays regularly for Darude and his latest creation will be released on a label.
I'm not going to lie to you, he worked a lot to get there, but what he achieved took me years to do and it very probably couldn't have been done without training. With a little work and rigor you could be the next to achieve this feat!
If you have any questions about the course, do not hesitate to send me a message.

See you soon, I hope,
Stephen

Electronic music, perhaps with its interdisciplinary nature, is a vast field to get into, a world of creativity and art, science and technology, and philosophy and thoughts. The course of electroacoustic composition (in other words computer-assisted composition) follows the interdisciplinary fundamentals of the topic. During these courses, we will speak and work on electronic music aesthetics and musical discourses, form and structure, and indeed the utils of using software such as Ableton, Max, Supercollider, VCV RACK, reaper et cetera, to be able to materialize the musical idea with electronic tools.
Students can create and compose electronic music, sound designs, multimedia art (music and ... ), installations and performances, etc during and after the courses.

Hi! I’m Joseph (Jossy Dee) on Spotify, Apple music & all streaming platforms, I'm a music producer and professional artist with hands-on experience creating and releasing original music. I work with aspiring artists who want to turn their ideas into real, high-quality tracks — not just theory, but practical results.

In my lessons, we focus on music production from an artist’s perspective: building beats, arranging songs, improving sound quality, and developing a creative workflow that fits your style. I also help students understand songwriting, basic music theory, and how to use the piano as a tool for composition and production.

If you’re interested in releasing your own music, I can guide you through the fundamentals of music distribution and promotion so you understand how to prepare your tracks for streaming platforms and grow as an independent artist.

My lessons are practical, supportive, and tailored to your goals — whether you’re just starting out or already making music and want to level up with guidance from a working artist.
