Guitar lessons for beginners and advanced in and around Ghent

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
For beginners: During our guitar lesson you can bring your own songs that you want to work on or together we will see what the best songs are for you and what you can learn the most from. This ranges from the basic chords that make up most pop / rock songs to playing along with the melody or accompanying yourself while singing. So you can play what you always dreamed of in no time!

For advanced users: Together we look at what you want to work on in terms of rhythm, soloing or improvisation. Which styles you are familiar with or which you would like to learn to play. These lessons are ideal for you if you want to broaden your knowledge of the guitar or if it feels like you've reached a plateau you can't get past.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I have been passionate about music from an early age, and I am very grateful to this day that I can continue to walk this path and pass on my knowledge to others. Besides my private lessons I am a musician and I also give group lessons at Villa Basta in Genk and Hasselt. An organization that is committed to young people who want to get started creatively.

I would like to receive curious students who have a genuine interest in music and the instrument. Who like to challenge themselves and have time to practice!

Very cool. Certainly not boring. Very clear too.

Jess is a great guy! Very patient and explains everything step by step. We immediately got to work on creating a choice song (which I was allowed to choose myself). He explained the chords and since I wasn't doing so well with my fingering, he found a great alternative for me. An hour passed in no time and now of course we had to practice some more at home.

Nina
Private lesson cello and / or solfège NL - FR - ENG region Ghent
Tailor-made cello lessons for all ages and levels! Currently via webcam I studied at the conservatories of Antwerp and Ghent and obtained my master's degree as a performing musician and my diploma in specific teacher training. In addition to experience as a performing musician, I am also active as a teacher of solfège and cello. I have experience as a teacher with children and adults. Would you like to learn to play the cello? Or would you like to improve your technique? Be sure to send me a message and we will make a schedule based on your wishes, agenda and interests! Being able to read notes is not a must, we can also tackle this during the lessons. Solfège and music theory lessons are also possible!

Glenn
Guitar lessons in Ghent for beginners, acoustic or electric
Hi! My name is Glenn; I have been playing (electric) guitar for just over twenty years and have already taught in Bavegem for four years during this period. You can come to me to learn your first basic chords and guitar techniques. We do this not based on solfège, but on the basis of your favorite songs that I adapt to your level. I believe that learning an instrument from the first second can be a lot of fun and therefore does not have to mean a struggle :) I look for creative ways to let you play a song in a recognizable way and leave as much room as possible to create your own style. All ages are of course welcome! I'd love to come on site!

Erika
Singing lessons with professional vocal and songwriting coach
I view teaching vocals and songwriting as a therapeutic, holistic process, where my students learn techniques and practical tools that help them hone their craft, but also work through psychological blockages that make them into greater artists.

Hello, my name is Silvia! I am an Italian student of Violin, currently attending the Postgraduate Musical Performance Practice at KASK & Conservatorium in Gent. I already have experience in teaching music and violin to children, teenagers and young adults.

I am aware that each student deserves a personal teaching approach, shaped on his/her own nature and attitude. I will help students strengthen and consolidate their technical skills on the instrument, but we will also have a lot of fun in playing music! My education: - Postgraduate Musical Performance Practice course, at KASK & Conservatorium, HoGent. Ongoing (2022-2023). - Master Degree of Music in Performing Arts - Violin, issued by KASK & Conservatorium, HoGent. 2020-2022. - Diploma in Violin (10-year course, old academic system) at the Conservatory of Music “G.P. da Palestrina” in Cagliari, Italy. 2009-2020. The lessons will be held in English or in Italian.

Javier
Professional cellist learns cello eating for all levels
I have my own cello, played it and played it, and I can never forget it in one of the most beautiful things. Zelfs as ever as he can lift me! I can learn a lot of beginners from amateurs who he wants to become, as students of a high level who want to perfect themselves. Well, as no one bent the conqueror thinks about starting with the instrument, then you can't do it! I'm based on the reading that I've been learning about my learning, so I'm always interested in the interest in the subject of the figure and the learning for the development of the blanks. I'm going to start with the technical and musical techniques of the Leerling, as we start from 0, and then the music will be heard. We work on the same aspect of the cellospel: the technique of both hands, the sound, the musical expression...

Aumi
Piano lessons for beginners or those more advanced, who have lost motivation and can use practice techniques.
Learning to practice an instrument well is very important. I really value this very much in my lessons. From the moment one can practice well, it progresses much faster, so that you also prefer to play. I started quite late, so I had to catch up a lot in a short time. In the beginning it progressed quickly, but as the pieces got more difficult I needed new practice techniques. I practiced so badly and that is very demotivating over time. I eventually learned to practice well by asking a lot of different people for help and now I'm making faster and faster progress. I would really like to share this info, so I think I have something to offer for young and old, even if I haven't been doing it that long.

I have been teaching cello for 8 years both in Spanish and English to all ages and levels, combining my teaching activity with the interpretative improvement of my instrument.
