The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS.

Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress.

Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward.

The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you.

We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire!

(For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...)

If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class.

In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero.
The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty.

I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... .
There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly.

You can find here an indicative list of objectives that I propose in my theoretical program, which can of course adapt to your request.

As a vocal coach, I understand that it is important to develop a good vocal technique but also to develop self-confidence and mastery of oneself in order to be able to deliver the best of oneself in any situation.

I deal with students of all levels and ages. I explore with them different musical fields according to their desires and affinities. My classes are a mix of technique, improvisation and practice. I really like the practice to include an element of interactivity with my students and so that they are able to come out of my lessons with mastered pieces, in their own way. Indeed, I also like to take the time to research with my students their own inner voices and talents so that they really find themselves artistically speaking; a kind of musical inner journey.

So, if you are looking to develop your vocal and musical abilities as well as develop your own artistic voice, do not hesitate to contact me!

From connection to production through and configuration and until the final result is obtained on social networks or music platforms, you will learn all the intermediate steps to spread your creativity in the connected world.

With specific expertise on Apple Logic Proc X and Ableton Live, the same principles are valid on any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) as well as on the configuration that is specific to you.

I also advise you on the hardware (physical hardware / software) to buy according to your specific needs.

This applies to anyone without age barrier, as long as the will and passion is there ...

✍️ Do you want to learn musical composition but you feel lost and don't know where to start?
🎓 This composition course develops the essential points for learning composition: classical harmony, jazz and pop; construction of a melody, rhythms and grooves, as well as the basics of orchestration!
✅ The course always has a practical purpose. During the course, theory and analysis of works are covered, then I offer exercises to carry out at home with guaranteed weekly follow-up.

🎯 Perfect for beginners or those who want to deepen their harmonic/rhythmic knowledge.

No need for knowledge of music theory!

With 7 years of experience behind me and around forty students, I noticed that the best teaching method was a transversal approach, working from the beginning on musical expression using compositions adapted to the student's level, as well as exercises focused on paying attention to our body, our movements and our musical intention. This approach adapts to everyone's desires. Adults and children of all ages are welcome, the first lesson always being free, at my home on a Grand piano.

With children, this takes the form of age-appropriate, playful teaching, with which I identify one or two specific objectives to achieve that allow complex concepts to be communicated in a simple way. Learning through physical experience allows all of these things to be approached in a guided and easily accessible way.

I’m a sound engineer, music producer, and DJ with a degree from Point Blank Music School (London) and more hours logged at Le Zéro Studio in Brussels than I care to admit. I’ve produced, mixed, and mastered across genres — from rap to electronic to “what the hell is this but it slaps.”
I'm also working on my solo project, if you want to check the proof in the pudding ("imyraj" on all platforms).

Classes will cover the following:

- Music production on Ableton Live 10, 11 & 12 or lite, if you are a beginner.
We can go all the way from the basics of the DAW to music theory, creative sound design, sound engineering, mixing, and mastering, depending on your level.

- DJing
Dj classes will cover everything from preparing your tracks, beat-matching, creative FX, sampling, and understanding what makes a set flow. All genres are welcome, we can practice on your favourite genre!
Software used: Rekordbox or Serato DJ

DJing will be taught on the brand new Pioneer Alpha Theta GRV-6.

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.

We will explore the world of electronic music, starting with the basics of sound synthesis and moving on to multi-channel diffusion in 3D audio.
We will see how the most widely used software in the world of electronics (Max/MSP, Ableton, Reaper) works to build performance environments, where we will be able to use the most popular plugins for signal processing or create our own processing engine.
MIDI protocol configuration for controllers, OSC, construction of small electronic circuits with the help of Arduino.
We will pay attention to the acoustic and psychoacoustic aspects of sound that are fundamental for the correct diffusion and listening of music.
We will also take a look at the main audio recording techniques.
As I am very passionate about this and have the necessary equipment, we will have the opportunity to see analog synthesis up close through the use of modular synthesizers.
