Electric or acoustic guitar lessons, for beginners, uninitiated to intermediateTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Electric or acoustic guitar lessons, for beginners, uninitiated to intermediateTranslate this text using Google Translate.

My typical course would go like this: First meeting: Familiarization with the instrument, the basics, what is a chord, tuning the guitar, etc. Then: At each lesson a little theory, always applied, and obviously practice, learn pieces and / or repeat those already learned, to measure the progress of the student. At the end of the course I would give technical advice, things to practice or listen to if the student wants to go further. I don't intend to make myself indispensable, on the contrary I want to give the basics so that you can manage and have fun as quickly as possible. One meeting per week is the best to have rapid progress, but I also adapt to the needs and capacities of the student, the main thing is that the guitar is always a pleasure, and never a chore! Guitarist with 9 years of experience, having already played in several groups and associations, often specialized in rhythm, but also sometimes soloist. I still participate in jam sessions from time to time. I myself learned with a particular teacher for the basics before continuing as an autodidact, but the best training remains to play in a real group. I can initiate you or consolidate your bases and make you practice by making you play with me. I always take my students' tastes into account because I think you have to like what you do to want to progress, so I don't force them to work on a style or songs that they don't like. I will teach you: - to read tablatures, - the basics of music theory such as scales, - the notion of rhythm and how to hold it, - different rhythmic and solo techniques, as well as playing with fingers or with a plectrum (= a pick) I have an electric guitar and an electro-acoustic one, whatever your style, I can teach you to play on electric or on acoustic. I also have a little knowledge on the material side of guitars and accessories, how to choose the right material is also important!

Professional guitar lessons - Cirque du Soleil!Translate this text using Google Translate.

Wondering why take lessons with me? I've been playing guitar for 37 years now. I have played professionally over the last 33 years, including 25 with Cirque du Soleil. I am 100% bilingual. The guitar is my passion, my life. For me, teaching guitar is not work. It's a real pleasure! And finally (the most important point for me), over the years, I developed my own technique. My system has only ONE GOAL: PLAYING THE GUITAR! That means "we play a lot, and we learn the necessary theory. I teach 9 to 99 years old! I am a double graduate of Berklee College of Music, Boston, MA What is GuitarBloxx? It's a teaching method with ONE great goal: PLAYING THE GUITAR! What does that mean for you? This means that throughout the first few basic courses, the theory will be ONLY based on the game. "Hands on"! Do not just make notes! And yes, there are songs that are so easy to learn. From the first class, everything you learn will be based on a song that you learn at the same time! Fun songs to play (you can even pick from my list) AND learn at the same time. You will be able to show the quick results of your progress to your relatives and friends! I will also give you written notes (to do a little practice at home), and also "backing tracks" to immediately give you the feeling of playing in a group! All of this is included in my classes, and even more. Obviously, if you are intermediate or even advanced, the same principle applies, only the techniques taught and the songs that we learn differ. A little / a lot more difficulty, and with different goals. And what's even more cool is that as you move forward in the program, it's YOU who chooses the BLOXX that you want us to work together. In closing, you do not even have to own your own instrument. I have a ton of guitars of all styles that I rent to my students until they get theirs. And when they are ready to buy this first guitar, not only I offer to help them in their choice, but I also have a guitar store that offers the best prices. Classes are offered Monday to Sunday, at Samson Blvd in Laval, 2 minutes west of Highway 13. Here are the time slots available at this time. Note that the available time slots may change without notice. Thursday 19:30 - 22:30 Friday 9 pm - 10.30 pm Saturday 2.30 pm - 5.30 pm Sunday 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm

“ Mary has been great in our interactions. At the moment, we are meeting twice a week for an hour each session. She started with a class in which we got to know each other and she listen to my goals. Then, she prepared exercises and lessons specially designed to help me reach those goals with practice and also prepared lessons to help me continue growing as a guitar player. Moreover, she goes often out of her way to get songs challenging to my level, but that are doable with enough practice. In all, I am enjoying quite a lot of our classes and I am always looking forward to them. ”

“ Taryna is a great teacher to work with the kids. Her patience, encouragement, and knowledge in teaching made my daughter more confident in piano. I, as a parent of a 8 yea old would definitely recommend her for piano lessons! ”

“ Amin has a great teaching technique and he pays attention to the details. He’s a very patient instructor and I totally recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to play guitar. ”
