Good morning all! I am a student at Polytechnique Montréal (20 years old) and I love music, especially the guitar. Are you a guitar beginner? It is not serious! I'll teach you to read tabs, chords etc... If you're motivated to learn to 'scratch' as we say in the jargon, well, you just had to say it! Even if you don't have a guitar, I can bring mine and you can get an idea of your interest in the instrument! I can also help you improve your singing if you want to sing+play guitar. Thank you and long live rock'n'roll!
Ps: I have already given private lessons.
English is fine too!

MONTREAL GUITAR COURSE (NDG)

The art and practice of the guitar can be very inspiring, rewarding and fulfilling.

What would be your criteria for choosing a guitar class?

An effective educational approach

An effective pedagogical approach and proper training are essential to learning the guitar. It is important to develop a good understanding of musical language, a correct application of technique to progress in a balanced way with confidence. Learn at your own pace, step by step according to your personal goals.
A sincere commitment to students
A sincere commitment to the student, at all stages of development, is the cornerstone that will help students feel confident and inspired to develop their full potential and artistic vision, whatever they may be.
Why choose Eric as a teacher?

1. Many years of teaching experience.
2. Welcome to beginners and non-beginners, from primary level (ages 7 and up) to adults.
3. Exam preparation for music schools and recitals.
4. Graduate professor with experience (MA in Composition, Music, U. of M.).

5. Teaches at any level:
6 Directory of the guitar
7 Theory and analysis of music
8 Reading skills
o Comprehension and rhythmic training
o Creativity and composition
o Health and prevention issues related to music practice
o Writing songs
o Electronic music and film music

6. Teach all styles:

o Classic
o Pop
o folk
o Blues
o Jazz
o And more

7. Health and prevention issues related to musical practice
8. Competitive rates and bilingual education.
9. Located in Notre-Dame-de-Grace, NDG (near the Villa-Maria and Vendome subways).
10. Guaranteed results.

My typical course would go like this:
First meeting: Familiarization with the instrument, the basics, what is a chord, tuning the guitar, etc.
Then: At each lesson a little theory, always applied, and obviously practice, learn pieces and / or repeat those already learned, to measure the progress of the student. At the end of the course I would give technical advice, things to practice or listen to if the student wants to go further. I don't intend to make myself indispensable, on the contrary I want to give the basics so that you can manage and have fun as quickly as possible.
One meeting per week is the best to have rapid progress, but I also adapt to the needs and capacities of the student, the main thing is that the guitar is always a pleasure, and never a chore!

Guitarist with 9 years of experience, having already played in several groups and associations, often specialized in rhythm, but also sometimes soloist. I still participate in jam sessions from time to time.
I myself learned with a particular teacher for the basics before continuing as an autodidact, but the best training remains to play in a real group.
I can initiate you or consolidate your bases and make you practice by making you play with me.
I always take my students' tastes into account because I think you have to like what you do to want to progress, so I don't force them to work on a style or songs that they don't like.

I will teach you:
- to read tablatures,
- the basics of music theory such as scales,
- the notion of rhythm and how to hold it,
- different rhythmic and solo techniques, as well as playing with fingers or with a plectrum (= a pick)

I have an electric guitar and an electro-acoustic one, whatever your style, I can teach you to play on electric or on acoustic. I also have a little knowledge on the material side of guitars and accessories, how to choose the right material is also important!

Music is a creative and fun way to express yourself. What better way to learn a new skill by learning some of your favourite songs?

By taking this course, I will guide you through Guitar chord basics, understand popular song structures, no previous music theory is required!

By providing me with your favourite tunes, I will also walk you through the process of "reverse-engineering" the track in order to recreate the music at your own pace.

I am a professional musician from Montreal, Canada and I have performed and produced albums with Folly & the Hunter (CAN) and Geoffroy (CAN). I have major touring experience and I am currently performing music in Amsterdam.

Hello,

Professor with experience and diploma of professional musician, offers courses of polystyle guitar (Classical, Bossa nova, jazz, gypsy, rock and metal), the courses and their contents will be adapted to the wishes of the student, but harmony, solfege, rhythm, ear, improvisation and history of the guitar are the unmistakable characteristics of my lessons, all presented in the least academic and spontaneous form possible so that the student develops a concrete interest for this infinity that is the music.

Looking forward to reading you !
