About Me

Hi everyone. When I was a kid, my dad asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I told him "a music teacher".

Early on I felt the profound impact my teachers had on me, and I KNEW that was what I wanted to do for others. My teachers were excellnt role models who were patient, kind, inviting, and encouraging of my ability - and that's exactly the person you're going to get if you choose to work with me. I love being someone who helps my students shine brighter than they ever did before, I feel it in my bones that this is what I'm meant to do!

The kind of people that choose me as their teacher are ones who tend to need a little more encouragement, who need that one extra person in their corner to give them a pep talk. At the same time, students who choose me often come when they're looking to get over that hump in songwriting, theory, or instrument skill level. These are the ones who are "right there" and are looking to level up.

Depending on your instrument, level, and personal preferences, I tend to use the Suzuki Method for Cello, The Guitar Method sprinkled with a few choice youtube videos for guitar, as well as hands on paper-and-pencil, then hand-on-instrument theory application. Why learn theory if you're not gonna apply it, am I right? However I'm flexible and often ask my students what they're in the mood to learn, and I adapt to their needs.

Learn To Play Electric And Classical Guitar Like A Pro And Sound The Way You Always Wanted
The guitar is a beautiful instrument that let us express ourselves throughout this gorgeous language called Music. If you are a beginner who wants to learn how to play guitar from scratch this is the right spot for you. We are going to work on your technique, music knowledge and artistic. We can also tackle any song you and specific topic you are interested in. If you considered yourself an intermediate player who’s seeking how to move directly forward to the next step these classes are for you. We will work together on every single aspect and detail to take whatever your level is to the next one. In my classes we work on three different axis. The first one is based on the student music knowledge applied to the instrument, we work on things such as intervals, fretboard knowledge, harmony and improvisational concepts. The second one is based on the technique and the correct execution of the instrument and the third one is based on playing music and polishing details to sound better. If you are an advance player and you want to work on any specific topics or just clear up some questions I’m here to help you the best way I can.

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.

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.

Composing Music using computer software (any genre)
Composing your own music has always been a very rewarding task. This has never been so true as the present day when you can hear what you compose instantly by using computers to generate and play back your own music. However, to ensure that your music sounds really great there are many principles to be considered. I have had a great interest in composing for over 40 years, composing in a wide variety of styles. Having been a music teacher in a comprehensive school for over 30 years, I have had a lot of very relevant experience in teaching composition to a wide range of different ages and abilities. The class will be personalized to your particular standard and chosen style of composition. If you are a complete novice and have not used computers to create music we can use a web-based programme or a free downloadable programme. On the other hand, if you are familiar with a particular programme that you have installed on your computer we can work through screen sharing and sound sharing to enhance your compositions using my experience. I will tailor-make the class to suit you.

Richard
private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else! Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. see you soon! Richard (PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something.)
