PROFESSIONAL GUITARIST, COMPOSER, MUSIC AND GUITAR TEACHER Beginner-Advanced Level Experience: I am a professional musician and have been teaching students of all ages for over 20 years. My experience as a teacher and my pursuit of self-improvement as a musician have led me to develop an effective method that I have already tested with over a hundred students. Throughout my career I had the satisfaction of studying with great masters of different specialties or styles, each one emphasizing different aspects of flamenco, classical or modern guitar and each one has given me their approach (technique, rhythms, accompaniment, harmony, etc.), which has led me after years of study and compilation to take the best from each one to develop my method. My role in my classes is more that of a personal trainer than a teacher, where I will be very attentive to bringing out the best in my students, finding the right technique to help them develop a good rhythm, working on their rhythm, etc. For me, the role of a teacher, in addition to teaching, is to be part of a team, to maintain morale and constantly improve oneself while always maintaining a love for music. Methodology: I tailor the lessons to the student's level, style, or goals. Generally, the first half of the lesson is dedicated to technique, focusing on proper placement, execution, and relaxation, which will result in a good sound. Over time, I've realized that it's also a way to connect with the guitar, concentrate, and warm up. So, little by little, we'll develop our routine, which will begin by working on basic rhythmic aspects. The second half is dedicated to playing, trying to put into practice what we learned about the technique with the sticks or studying other concerns of the student, which may be a theme, harmony, falsetas, improvisation, or even other styles, etc., always obviously taking into account the search or interest of the student. FLAMENCO - Flamenco technique - Palos (Tangos, Bulerías, Alegrías, Soleá, Taranta...) - Accompaniment to singing and dancing - Clapping and rhythms MODERN GUITAR - Harmony - Improvisation - Repertoire (rumbas, pop, jazz, rock, etc.) CLASSIC - Reading, solfège and interpretation. - Works - I work with progressive learning books

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.

Would you like to learn guitar or singing in a truly practical, personalized way, focused on real results? My classes are designed for people who want to develop genuine musical skills, without outdated, overly theoretical methods or monotonous classes that ultimately kill motivation. I offer individual guitar and singing lessons, fully tailored to each student's level, goals, and musical style. Whether you're a complete beginner who's never taken a lesson before, or you already have experience and want to improve your technique, gain confidence, or sound more professional, we'll work with a dynamic and modern approach to help you progress steadily. In singing lessons, we'll work on breathing, pitch, vocal control, support, projection, interpretation, and developing a freer, more confident voice. You'll also learn how to reduce tension, improve your vocal stamina, and develop greater control over your voice while singing songs you truly enjoy. Lessons can be tailored to any musical style, from pop, rock, and ballads to more technical genres like opera, soul, R&B, and other vocal approaches, depending on your goals and interests. In guitar lessons you'll learn technique, rhythm, coordination, chord changes, clean playing, musicality, and practical application through real songs. The goal isn't to memorize meaningless theory, but to help you play with ease, confidence, and genuine musical understanding from the very first sessions. My teaching approach focuses on creating a comfortable, relaxed, and motivating environment where students can learn without fear of making mistakes. I firmly believe that music should be enjoyed from the very beginning, and that good teaching depends not only on qualifications or rigid methods, but also on the ability to connect with the student, explain clearly, and help them truly see results. Each student receives a personalized experience, working on exercises, repertoire, and specific goals tailored to their needs. Whether you want to learn as a hobby, record covers, develop your technique, or simply discover more of your musical potential, the classes will be designed to help you make real and consistent progress. Classes are available both online and at home, offering flexibility and convenience to better fit your routine. Music isn't just theory or technique: it's also expression, confidence, and emotion. My goal is to help you develop these skills while you enjoy the process and discover everything you're capable of achieving musically.
