Classical guitar teacher graduate and concert, I offer my classes to teenagers and adults who want to discover or rediscover the guitar.

Levels: beginner (passionate), advanced, confirmed, professional.

The course is tailored to your own pace and needs. I can help you build or strengthen your instrumental technique, enrich your repertoire, progress in music theory if necessary (rhythm, harmony, composition, analysis, musical culture), improve your posture and breathing, strengthen your concentration and memory, refine your interpretation, prepare for exams, competitions or performances (amateur and professional), unleash your performance, and develop your musicality.

There are no age restrictions.

My lessons are also aimed at those who played guitar several years ago and wish to start again.

I propose an initial lesson so we can discuss your needs. Afterwards, you can take your time and call me back if you'd like to book a second lesson.

Repertoire: from the 16th to the 21st century (so-called "classical"), Spanish, Latin-American music, opening to all styles (no rock / metal).

The courses take place in Paris 75010, near the Town Hall of the 10th arrondissement, as well as via video conference (Zoom, etc).

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.

I have several methods and exercises to teach. I am especially listening to all your proposals to discover many styles.
Classes for beginners generally run very smoothly. Indeed, I am able to make things easier for you by showing you exactly what you need to learn the basics.
The exercises are generally within reach and require a little daily effort to get them done.
My lessons are mainly aimed at beginners who want to perfect their playing styles.

I am a professional nylon string guitarist, classical, jazz, fusion, performer, composer and improviser.

I was trained at the CNR in Nice in classical guitar (by the duo Ako Ito and Henry Dorigny, for those who know), and in composition, harmony and instrumentation. I have a solid experience of teaching in institutions and independently, as well as studio and acoustic and electroacoustic recording techniques.

Children or adults, beginners or confirmed, my lessons adapt to the objectives of the student, for instrumental practice such as training and musical culture. We will define them together. I guarantee you rapid progress and a truly rewarding experience whatever your level. Classes take place in an artistically and intellectually stimulating atmosphere!

If you are a beginner, you will build on solid foundations and will not be limited in your future progress. For beginner children who wish to join a conservatory in classical guitar in the coming year or the following years, they will have the technical and musical level required.

If you are an already advanced guitarist, I can greatly help you to liberate your playing, to overcome any technical limitations that still hold you back. Many good guitarists are particularly limited by their right hand. Si-Si!... We will solve these problems in a few sessions. You will quickly gain in velocity, nuances, expressiveness. By the way, you will stop hurting yourself!

The goal is to make music! Together we will reveal your potential as a guitarist and musician, interpreter as an improviser. Because if you are passionate about improvised music as I am, your possibilities will quickly expand by exploring playing modes, special tunings, the fusion between contemporary, classical and jazz music.

Bass and guitar lessons for beginners: this course is aimed at all young musicians who dream of performing or those who want to learn the passion of the guitar or bass!

For me, music is above all a passion. We will therefore work primarily on the pieces you wish to learn, whatever your preferred style (rock, pop, reggae, funk, metal, etc.).
We will still see some new things from time to time because it is both important and nice to open up to new things to progress ;-)

Depending on your goals, you can approach music with or without music theory (not at all mandatory to make music and achieve a good level on the instrument).

My name is Axel, I have been a passionate guitarist for over 8 years.
Over the years, I have had the chance to participate in numerous musical projects which have allowed me to explore varied styles and develop solid stage and artistic experience.

I regularly perform live with my bands, and I record and compose for my own projects as well as for other artists. I recently started accompanying a French pop artist on tour throughout France, which gave me the opportunity to play in some great venues, including La Cigale in Paris.

At the same time, I am passionate about teaching guitar. I have worked for various home tutoring organizations (Lucadom, Wiplay, Playnotes, Allegro Musique, etc.) as well as Musique et Compagnie, the largest private physical music school in France, with over 1,300 students.

My lessons are tailored and personalized to each student based on your tastes and expectations. I go through learning pieces to learn or develop specific techniques and to acquire a solid musical repertoire that will be based on your tastes without having to learn music theory first.
