Individual/ group guitar lessons at home/ skype
From 48 € /h
Hello, my name is Benoit, I am a jazz & contemporary music guitarist and guitar teacher for more than 15 years in music schools, associations and at home.
I studied Jazz at the Boulogne-Billancourt Conservatory and graduated from the American School Of Modern Music.
I seek with my lessons to develop your desire to make music and your creativity. My courses and content will allow you to immerse yourself in an exciting practice. Pleasure and requirement are the keywords of my learning method. You will quickly be able to play a current, rich and varied repertoire. In addition to private lessons, I provide you with free videos, scores & tablatures.
Who are the classes for?
Children:
From 7 years old, learning notes in a playful and progressive way. We explore music theory, tablatures, rhythm and melody thanks to card games specially developed for the youngest: recognition, 7 families, pair games, Memory, etc. Your child discovers the instrument and the technique while being able to quickly play familiar tunes! Classes usually last 30 minutes.
Teen:
The goal is not to spend too much time on the theoretical aspect of music theory (reading notes etc.) but to see the basic techniques of the instrument in order to be able to play and have fun quickly.
From the first lessons you will play the pieces of your choice, I will guide you and accompany you. Pleasure and satisfaction guaranteed!
Adults:
Have you always dreamed of learning to play the guitar? You played when you were young and want to get back to it? Did the "conservatory" method disappoint you or does it not suit you? My approach and my experience will allow you to learn or deepen the instrument and your knowledge at your own pace thanks to a multitude of pieces, scores, playbacks and tutorials. This will help you to develop or perfect the essential techniques for playing the guitar and also to play a repertoire to your liking. Classes usually last 60 minutes.
If you are self-employed or have flexible working hours during the day, I can come to your place of work. I can also give video lessons to coach you or if you are on the go.
For what levels?
Beginner:
You quickly take the instrument in hand, I guide you to acquire in a few sessions the technical gestures and the basic notions in order to be autonomous with your guitar.
Intermediate:
You develop a repertoire in line with your tastes and desires. I advise you and challenge you to make you progress.
Advanced:
You improve your technique thanks to the study of statements of reference guitarists and different Jazz / Rock / Blues / Gypsy styles such as: John Scofield, Wes Montgomery, Peter Bernstein, George Benson, Django Reinhardt etc...
Together we work on the writing and the balance of musical phrases, chord sequences, notions of tension and resolution, which will allow you to create your own music and refine your style. I advise you on the right software and musical software (writing/Sibelius, tabalture/Guitarpro, Recording/Ableton, creation/Reason etc...)
How are the lessons going?
Face to face, at your home, mine, or video, I adapt to your possibilities and your wishes.
Those who wish to meet other musicians can join a group. I also organize courses (between 8 and 10 people) during school holidays, on various subjects: Deepening your repertoire, improvising with pentatonics, group games, picking techniques, etc.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you want more information!
Musically & see you soon!

About Me
I like sharing my knowledge and playing with my students. I develop a lot of documents and video tutorials, arrangements and compositions to enrich my pedagogy and develop the content available for my students.
I like to play in groups or solo different styles and types of guitar (electric, jazz half body, nylon strings)

Education
I trained at The American School of Modern Music from 2001/2008 with graduation. At the same time, I took 4 years of classical guitar lessons at the Ville d'Avray conservatory to enrich my stylistic knowledge, I also took the jazz class at the Boulogne-Billancourt regional conservatory for 2 years.
Experience / Qualifications
More than 15 years of teaching in private lessons, music schools and associations. I also lead guitar orchestras and Jazz workshops. The audience for my lessons is aged 7 to 77 and from beginner to advanced level. I regularly organize themed workshops on improvisation, arrangement, group games and other subjects related to music.
👉 For beginner levels (children), the program consists of gradually learning the notes on the handle, with the use of tablatures, and rhythmic and melodic music theory. To do this I use different kinds of card games for educational purposes such as: recognition, 7 families, pair games etc... the tablatures will allow us to quickly build a small simple repertoire and enjoy playing the instrument. .
👉 For beginner / intermediate levels (teen / adult).
The goal is not to spend too much time on the "theoretical" aspect (reading notes) but, rather, to see the basic technical aspects of the instrument in order to be able to play and have fun quickly, thanks to a decided repertoire. together or proposed according to the tastes of the student. To do so, I have many pieces that I have arranged in various styles and difficulties.
👉For advanced levels.
I propose a program to improve your guitar technique thanks to the study of guitarist statements of different jazz / rock / blues / Gypsy style of reference such as: John Scofield, Wes Montgomery, Peter Bernstein, George Benson, django Reinhardt etc.. .
We will deepen the writing and balance of musical phrases, chord sequences, notions of tension and resolution, and improvisation. all these aspects will allow you to create your own music and refine your style. I can also advise on the software aspect (sibelius, guitarpro, ableton, reason ... and recording)
Do not hesitate ! Musically & see you soon!
