    Guitar lessons. Learn to play guitar, ukulele or bass.

    I teach music online (Skype, Zoom, Whatsapp...) and in-person in Brussels and Waterloo, Belgium. Nearly 30 years of experience. 800+ students taught.

    All lessons are individual lessons (no group classes). The focus is on learning modern styles of the past, say, 80 years: rock, blues, jazz, reggae, singer-songwriter, folk, pop, country, bossa nova... rather than older classical or traditional Spanish guitar music.

    Also, I arrange band workshops, recording workshops, and learn to jam sessions, to get you playing with other musicians and performing/recording. This has resulted in two local rock bands... The Manneken Pistols and The KBH Boogie Band who both play regularly around Brussels and who were featured recently on Bruzz TV.

    Guitar workshops: personalized lessons / private training
    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.

    Federica
    Classical Guitar Lessons with Professional graduated musician
    I started my musical studies at the age of 10 at the Conservatory of Milan (Italy) where I graduated with the highest marks and honors in July 2013. In the same school I also concluded my Master in performance practice with highest marks and Great Distinction in October 2016. During the last year I got a second Master at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Brussels with Highest Distinction under the guidance of Antigoni Goni. I'm now a Postgraduate student in the same institution, focusing my attention on teaching research for chamber music. I attended masterclasses with Andrea Dieci, Bruno Giuffredi, Lorenzo Micheli, Matteo Mela, Carlo Marchione, Giulio Tampalini, Francesco Molmenti, Marcin Dylla, Pavel Steidl, Margarita Escarpa, Leo Brouwer, Sergio and Odair Assad, Elena Papandreu. I participated and won many competitions in Chamber music category between 2012 and 2015. I got my High-School Degree in Pedagogic science and I have always had a particular predisposition to teach. I started teaching at the age of 20 in Private Academies and Music Schools in Italy. I have The age range of my students was between 6 to 70 years old. I base my all my lessons on the interests and personal requests of each student, focusing on the importance of being able to read music scores through the importance of solfeggio and music theory. I'm very openminded to any kind of music style (from Baroc music to Spanish/Brasilian popular music) and I think the most important thing is to accept student's motivations. I can teach on Tuesday and Thursday (preferably) and on the other days after 18:00.

    Private lesson in electric bass, all styles of music
    FRENCH: I have been in music since I was 5 years old, I decided to make it my job and so I studied at the Brussels Conservatory (Master level). I specialize in jazz but my favorite field remains Groove music. I also went through a lot of styles (rock, funk, pop, reggae,...) during my years of learning the bass. To get an idea of my playing style, my main influence in Jazz bass is Dario Deidda. I'm very inspired by "underground" bands from Brussels like Stuff, ECHT, Tukan, Jean-Paul Groove, Ciao Kennedy,... Abroad I could mention Athletic Progression, KUF, Takuya Kuroda, Vels trio, Vulfpeck (and dozens of others!) Without forgetting the classics like Parliament, Earth Wind and fire, PUSH, Jamiroquai,... I don't have a particular method. Unless my student requests it, my lessons are done by feeling according to his desires and his objectives. We can very well just learn pieces and at the same time deepen the technique and the knowledge of the music if requested. The goal is to have fun. ENGLISH: I started music when I was 5 and later decided to make it my job. I studied in Brussel's jazz Conservatory (Master). I'm specialized in Jazz but my roots are in Groove music. I also learned to play different styles (rock, funk, pop, reggae,...) To have an idea about my way of playing, my main influence about bass on Jazz is Dario Deidda. I'm inspired by Brussel's "underground" scene with bands like Stuff, ECHT, Tukan, Jean-Paul Groove, Ciao Kennedy,... Worldwide I dig into bands like Athletic Progression, KUF, Takuya Kuroda, Vels trio, Vulfpeck (and many many more). And don't forget the classics like Parliament, Earth wind and fire, PUSH, Jamiroquai,... I don't use a specific method to teach. Unless my students ask for it, my lessons are focused on his expectations/objectives. We can simply learn how to play a tune and at the same time dig into the technique and music knowledge if it's what you want. The main goal is to have FUN.

    Davide
    Classical guitar, Musical Theory, Solfege, Classical Music
    Learning to play the classical guitar is a very fascinating experience. Studying this instrument allows a very simplified approach to the most diverse musical genres with various types of guitar (electric, acoustic, semi-acoustic) and, above all, gives you a broad view of music in general. Over the years, I have acquired a great deal of experience in the field of concert performance and international competitions, which allows me to take a considered and targeted approach to teaching this instrument. I am waiting for you :)

    Javier
    PROFESSIONAL GUITARIST WITH MORE THAN 15 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE - ALL LEVELS
    Hello, my name is Javier. I am a guitarist, composer, sound technician and music producer. I work professionally, especially in contemporary Jazz. Don't hesitate to look for me on Google, Spotify and YouTube! During more than 15 years of experience as a teacher, I have developed several methods and exercises for teaching guitar and music (songs, theory, composition, improvisation, harmony, etc.) for students of all levels and all ages. I have already had students from 6 years old to 74. I believe that the most important thing is that the students manage to find the motivation to practice regularly with the pleasure of progressing. //METHOD// The most common is the use of songs that the student chooses and take advantage of this to work on more general concepts of music and the guitar which are important to acquire a solid base without bad habits. For more advanced students the learning process is determined together by setting personal goals. The teaching method is totally focused on the individual needs of each student. Students with any level of knowledge in music (self-taught, beginners, advanced ...) are accepted. //INTERVIEW// 01 - Since when did you develop a passion for music and more particularly for your favourite instrument? - I became interested in the guitar at the age of ten. I had a friend who played "Blackbird" music by The Beatles and I was fascinated. From there, I started to study and I continue to learn today. 02 - What music can you listen to on repeat with the same pleasure (and without going crazy)? - Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. 03 - Tell us about the most difficult or amazing lesson you have given! - It would be a class where I have to explain the major and minor tonality and all its variants in one hour of class. But I will get there! 04 - In your opinion, what is the most complicated instrument to master and why? - It was impossible to answer. Each person has different predispositions. For me to play the piano at a high level would be complicated for the need for independence of the right and left hands. In this sense, the guitar is easier. 05 - What are, for you, the keys to success (apart from those of Sol and Fa)? - CONSTANCE, it's always better to practice a little every day than a lot once in a while. PATIENCE, learning an instrument takes time. You have to learn to coordinate the body and the brain and take new paths from time to time. And the most important : DON'T BE AFRAID OF MAKING MISTAKES, to learn it is essential to make mistakes and this should not be a reason to stop practising, on the contrary, it should be a motivation to improve. 06 - Name 3 musicians with whom you would dream of jamming in a bar at 2 a.m. and tell us why! - Tigran Hamasyan, Reinier Baas, Avishai Cohen (bassist) 07 - An anecdote to tell in relation to your job or your schooling (and not necessarily the party you had after entering the Conservatory)? - When I started giving lessons (I was 17), I had a 10-year-old student, when I suggested things to do, he looked me directly in the eye and said: No! But with patience, after a while, I managed to make a connection with him and at the end of the 3 years he played the guitar very well and we became friends. Now he is more or less 25 years old. 08 - What is the little touch that makes you a special teacher adored by all his students? - I am very patient and I always find the best way to explain for each student.
