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.

Do you dream of learning music professionally based on deep understanding and not just imitation? Do you want to confidently master playing or singing, and gradually move from a beginner level to a truly advanced level?

I offer comprehensive and integrated online music lessons, based on a clear and well-thought-out curriculum that starts with you from absolutely zero, even if you have never held a musical instrument before, and takes you step by step towards an advanced and professional level, with careful individual follow-up that ensures your real development.

I am a music teacher with a master's degree in music, and a performer with practical experience in both performance and teaching. I believe that everyone can learn music if guided in the right way. My goal is not just to teach you to play or sing, but to help you understand music as a complete language and express yourself through it confidently and professionally.

Teaching areas include:
Piano: Learn the basics of playing, reading from sheet music, correct technique, and progress to performing advanced pieces.
Oud: Understanding the maqams, plectrum techniques, controlling expression, and playing in an authentic oriental style.
Guitar: The basics of playing, rhythms, chords, and playing songs correctly and smoothly.
Singing: A comprehensive vocal training that includes self-control, pitch improvement, correct pronunciation, and performance development.
Eastern Maqams: A practical and theoretical study of maqams, how to move between them, and their use in playing, singing, and improvisation.
Music theory: Understanding musical notation, rhythm, scale, and harmony in a simplified and practical way.
Solfège: Reading sheet music, auditory training, musical dictation, and significantly strengthening the musical ear.

The educational program is based on the principle of organized progression, where learning is divided into clear stages:
Phase 1: Building the foundation from scratch, getting acquainted with the machine or sound, and understanding the basic principles.
Phase Two: Developing technical skills and starting practical application through exercises and musical works.
The third stage: Reaching an advanced level that includes musical expression, playing with confidence, and the ability to perform pieces or songs in a complete manner.
The fourth stage: the stage of relative professionalism, where the student becomes able to rely on himself, analyze music, and improvise, especially in Eastern music.

What makes these lessons unique:
A clear methodology that takes you from zero to professional in a gradual and well-thought-out manner.
A simple yet in-depth explanation, suitable for all levels.
Focus on practical application, not just memorization.
Combining playing instruments and singing to develop a complete musical sense.
Developing a musical ear and the ability to distinguish between tones and scales.
Building the student's self-confidence and encouraging them to perform and express themselves.

The teaching method is interactive and personalized, with each lesson tailored to the student's level and goals, whether learning is a hobby, developing a specific skill, or reaching a professional level. Customized exercises, continuous monitoring, and careful performance correction are provided to ensure genuine progress.

The lessons are suitable for children, teenagers, and adults, and no prior experience is required. They are also suitable for those with a foundation who wish to develop their skills systematically and professionally.

The lessons are delivered online in high quality, using clear teaching methods and direct communication to ensure student understanding and progress in each session. Assignments and exercises are also given between sessions to reinforce learning and accelerate development.

If you are looking for genuine learning that starts with you from scratch and confidently leads you towards professionalism, with continuous support and proper guidance, then these lessons are the right choice for you.

Start your musical journey now, and give yourself the opportunity to discover and develop your abilities in a professional and thoughtful way.
