Guitar Lessons in Woluwe - All Levels - Conservatory Trained

From 57.43 $ /h

I am a conservatory-educated guitar teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience who has recently moved to Brussels. I teach students of all ages and levels, from complete beginners to advanced players. I am fluent in English, Dutch, and French, and have extensive experience teaching both one-to-one lessons and classroom settings.

I have a long track record of preparing students for graded examinations such as ABRSM and Trinity, with students regularly achieving merit or distinction. At the same time, lessons can also be tailored to students who simply want to learn for enjoyment or personal development.

My teaching covers a wide range of styles including classical, pop, jazz, and rock. I aim to teach music holistically, incorporating not only technique and repertoire but also music theory, music history, and the broader understanding of how music works. Lessons are tailored to each student, and practice plans are adapted to suit individual goals and interests while still ensuring that the fundamental skills of musicianship are developed.

Lessons take place in a fully equipped teaching studio in Woluwe (Brussels), with amplifiers and instruments available during lessons. I offer flexible scheduling, and lessons can be held either in person or online.

Lesson lengths of 30, 45, or 60 minutes are available.

If you would like to discuss lessons or arrange a trial session, please feel free to get in touch.

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.

Hello, my name is Samuel and I come from México.

I am a classical guitarist with 10+ years of teaching experience. I am currently doing a masters in classical guitar performance at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.

I have the philosophy of teaching the student to teach himself so that he doesn’t have to rely on the teacher in order to make progress.
I’m comfortable with all styles of music and love teaching to people of all ages and backgrounds!

If this sounds like something you’d like to try we can have a lesson to see if you feel comfortable and happy with it and go from there.

Just get in touch!

I work in detail. I pay particular attention to the student's position so that they don't have any muscle problems. I encourage students to play whatever they like if the difficulty of the piece matches the student's level. I play pieces for students to introduce them to the classical guitar repertoire.

My teaching method is based on your desires and your knowledge. I don't intend to impose a miracle method, but rather to help you find the keys that will allow you to achieve your goals while remaining motivated.

All musical styles are welcome: rock, pop, funk, jazz, blues... the important thing is the pleasure of making music together.

If you want to deepen your knowledge of music theory, work on advanced concepts, prepare for an audition, or simply start on your instrument, I will be able to find the method that suits you.

Posture and comfort with the instrument are the foundation for playing the guitar. I often make the connection with other musical instruments such as percussion, wind instruments and singing.

Separating and understanding the roles of the two hands is another important step in the course. One hand plays the rhythm and the other plays the notes on the fretboard. There are many exercises to develop the knowledge and skills of both hands.

Composition and orchestration open the door to a deep understanding of music—from the sound of a single note to the architecture of an entire symphony. In this course, you'll learn not only how to play, but also how to think like a musician and composer.

Whether you are a beginner looking to gain a solid foundation on the guitar, or an advanced musician looking to explore harmony, arranging, and orchestration for ensembles or film music, this course is tailored to your personal goals.

Through practical exercises, ear training, and creative projects, you'll develop your musical language, sense of structure, and artistic voice—connecting technique with imagination. My approach combines classical knowledge, modern composition tools, and a focus on musical storytelling to help you transform your ideas from a single instrument to a full orchestra.

The guitar is an instrument of infinite richness—capable of expressing both the sweetness of an intimate melody and the power of a full orchestra. In this course, you'll learn to master the guitar as a means of personal expression, developing your technique, ear, and musicianship.

Whether you are a beginner or already experienced, I will guide you step by step through the essential basics (posture, rhythm, chords, reading) to advanced techniques (arpeggios, improvisation, interpretation and arrangements).

My approach connects instrumental practice with musical understanding, so you can not only play, but also understand and feel the music you create. Each lesson is tailored to your level and style—classical, modern, or creative.

Guitar course open to all levels, from beginners to advanced students.

The course covers classical and electric guitar, as well as pop guitar and composition, offering comprehensive training tailored to the student's interests.

Initially, a level assessment will be conducted to identify technical skills, musical knowledge, and prior experience. Based on this assessment, and taking into account the student's goals, objectives, and musical tastes, a personalized methodology will be designed, focused on technical, musical, and creative development.

The course's approach seeks to balance technique, interpretation, musical understanding, and personal expression, allowing the student to progress in a solid and conscious manner, regardless of the style they wish to explore further.
