Guitar MADE EASY ♫ including theory and composition!

"Everything should be as simple as possible and no simpler," said Einstein. That is my motto. I'm a singer, songwriter with 30 years of experience teaching and performing. I have many stellar reviews (see below) and I can show you how you can play upto 80% of popular music, with just four chords in our first lesson.

I have been teaching all ages, at various levels of competence, catering for a wide range of styles. I tailor my lessons around the student's requirements, needs and learning objectives and I pride myself in making learning as SIMPLE as possible, fun, quick, effective and engaging.

It helps to have been trained as a life coach with a couple of decades of experience assisting students with mastering performance anxiety and staying focused on their goals. I use some cutting-edge tech including various free mobile apps, I love everything about music and I have various songs of mine on youtube.

Leeann Tinkler

"My children aged 15 & 11 thoroughly enjoy their lessons. They describe Oscar as awesome, insightful and inspiring. They look forward to their music lesson with him I never thought I'd see my children enjoying learning to play piano and guitar not to mention the singing!"
Vida Antonio

"I've been taking lessons with Oscar for just under two months and am extremely delighted with how they are progressing. He has clever tips and tricks to remembering things I would have previously thought out of my reach. He also has a very calm and kind manner which makes you feel very comfortable as a student. Time and money well spent!"
Neha Kotwal

"Excellent teaching for anyone with lots of experience or no experience in music to learn the guitar, singing and understand how music works. Oscar is very friendly and patient, and show you the necessary chords and scales to play most (if not all) modern pop songs."
Jeremy Burton

"I have been working with Oscar for a couple of months now during the time I have been working with Oscar I have found that my playing has improved greatly as a partially self taught musician I already knew 'the basics' but with Oscar's tuition I have greatly improved my technique and have had comments made by professional musicians who have seen my playing improve since working with Oscar. I would recommend him without hesitation."
James Starrs

"Oscar has a been a great find. He has unique approach to teaching and takes the time to know his student’s learning style. His plans his lessons around that. Both my 10yr old and 4yr old look forward to his lessons, are motivated to explore things they learnt and have a great sense of achievement every time they master one key. Highly recommended!"
Sumera Khalandar:

"Oscar is an amazing teacher who clearly has a lot of passion and knowledge about music. Whether it be guitar, keyboard or vocal exercises, Oscar's fun, creative and humorous approach to everything really helped me to understand and learn so much more than what I intended to seek. Being someone who gets nervous a lot, he has really made me comfortable and at ease all the while boosting my confidence and bringing me out of my hardened shell. I have had multiple sessions with Oscar, both over Skype and in person and I am very happy to be his student. Cannot wait to keep on progressing with him. :)"
Ankit Uppal

"He is very good with children I have a 5 years old who can't sit still but he managed to keep her engage and excited throughout the lessons. She can't wait for another lesson."
Gifty Ofosu

"Oscar is a wonderful music teacher. He's very patient and keeps our boys interested in playing the piano and guitar. We've only had four lessons and the boys are already playing a trendy song together!"
Alicia Smit

"Oscar was very quick to respond to our enquiries. He is prompt in his timings and his way of teaching is Brilliant!! He is also always willing to accomodate for any kind of special needs & takes time to listen. My little girl loves the way he makes things simple and the fact that he teaches her singing as well as playing the guitar. I would highly recommend Oscar as an excellent tutor to anyone interested in learning how to play the guitar."

About Me

I love everything about music. Wot else can I say. I think that it is a powerful and universal language and I agree with Einstein, in that... if you cannot explain it simply enough, you don't know it well enough. 3 chords and the truth said Bono and "Music is it's own reward" said Sting.

Education

I have a university degree in Computer Science and left my job as a Systems Analyst at Ford Motor Company to pursue my musical interests. Stage time, stage time, stage time. That's what matters. Writing and performing, teaching and coaching and I have plenty of it.

Experience / Qualifications

I have read and done hundreds of personal development courses and have been life coaching for a couple of decades and teaching guitar for even longer.

Reviews (6)

Oscar is a very gentle and friendly person. My son (8 years old) is very enthusiastic about learning guitar with him. He is more than a guitar teacher, rather he is a musician. Thanks Oscar for this opportunity.
Oscar is an amazing instructor! His ability to teach how to play the guitar is incredible. He is patient and encouraging. He applies philosophy, wisdom and experience into his teaching practices. Before going to Oscar, I was not very confident on playing the guitar. Now, after only two lessons, I am playing better and have more confidence in my playing ability. I definitely would recommend him to anyone hands down!!
Excelente profesor!!!
So great!
Oscar is a great instructor, I have booked multiple sessions at this point and loved every minute of it. We are learning to play my mother's favorite song and I couldn't be happier. Oscar is inspirational in my efforts to learn to love the guitar. I highly recommend him.

"Everything should be as simple as possible and no simpler," said Einstein, and that is my motto. I'm a native Spanish speaker, I have been teaching for 30 years at all ages and levels, and I have a unique way of teaching the most useful vocabulary at lighting speed.

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.
