Guitar lessons from beginners to advanced, and from children to adults (Online is available)

From 68.23 C$ /h

I have started to play when I was 6 with classical music, but since then I have studied and played in very different styles and formations (jazz, blues, rock, reggae, funk etc). Nowadays I play classical and jazz music mainly but I am also member of a rock band and a pop formation, and from time to time I make a trip to play blues, funk, reggae, folk or any type of music really, because every one of them has its own "secrets ingredients" what I love.

Besides that, I give private lessons for adults and kids for more than a decade. I deeply believe in that and my experiences tell me: everyone can be taught to play on guitar. The only, but most important key is that every one of us has his own personal way to reach it. With your help, I am sure I will be able to find your key to the endless world of music.

The lessons can be at your or at my place.

About Me

I believe in everyone can be taught to play on guitar, but there is no one solely method which is applicable for everyone. It depends on the student's age, experience, and also the personality.

My work as a teacher is to find the most straight and suitable way of my students to reach their goals, and help them to enjoy to play and explore the music in this - not accidentally so popular - instrument.

Education

I learnt in music school for 6 years and after I got jazz improvisation courses from the Berklee and the University of Rochester, I took guitar lessons from jazz guitarists for years.

Experience / Qualifications

I tried myself in very various style and formations. I played in indie rock bands where I was the songwriter, I was member of cover bands where we played the most popular rock, blues, funk and reggae tunes and I played in jazz formations. Nowadays I play in a jazz duo, mainly jazz standards. And I have a lot of stage experiences.

As a teacher I work for more than 10 years and I have students with very different backgrounds. I mean some of them never grab a guitar in their hands before, while others are experienced stage performers. I teach children and adults, too.

I graduated from the Conservatoire de Nice CNRR (France) in jazz guitar.
I studied there for seven years with renowned professors such as Jean Paul Ceccarelli (Sting), Pierre Bertrand, Robert Persi or Philippe Petit.
My teaching method is flexible and I adapt it to the needs and desires of the student.
We will discuss the technical work on the instrument, the knowledge of the neck and chords and the rhythm. With or without solfege.
The goal is to provide the student with the necessary tools so that he can continue learning by himself at home.

ENGLISH LOWER
I'm at ease with students, having already taught music in a foster for teenagers. I've been playing since I was 9, I have toured with numerous groups in Europe, was educated in music theory at the Geneva Conservatory and obtained a diploma in music at the College of Geneva.

Music being a pleasure, I adapt the lesson to the desire of the students, whether it is singing with the guitar or being a guitar hero. Willing to create interest in the guitar or the banjo, I stand for a pleasure to play.

FRENCH
I have easy contact with the students, having already taught music in a youth center. I have been playing since I was 9, have toured with numerous groups, graduated in music theory at the Geneva Conservatory and obtained a maturity in music at the College of Geneva.

The music being a pleasure, I adapt the course to the desires of the students, whether it be singing with the guitar or being a solo guitarist. In the desire to create interest in the guitar or the banjo, I advocate the pleasure of playing.

Hello to everyone!
My name is María, I am a Venezuelan Cellist.
All my musical education was inside the musical program "El Sistema" in Venezuela. This education was based on preparing myself as a better human being though playing cello in orchestras, chamber music and as soloist.
I am current studying my Master degree at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel.
In what consist my lessons?
Cello classes for all levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced), it does not matter if you have never played cello before or if you are already studying, the important thing is to help you achieve the goals you want with this beautiful instrument.
To have better results with practice, if it is necessary to help you with music theory, I will help you.
As well, if you're looking for help in orchestral excerpts for auditions, I'm here for you!
For kids, parental support is also important during some lesson, we are all a team and we need to work together to achieve the goals!
Classes can be in person at your house or mine (BRUSSELS, BELGIUM) or via videocall (Skype, Zoom, etc). The schedules are planned according to the time of the student and the teacher.

Looking forward to meeting you and work together!
Maria.

What we could work on:

- Improve your violin technique
- Explore the vast violin repertoire
- Preparation for an orchestra audition
- Let's talk about stress on stage!

Here is some information about me:

I obtained my master's degree at the Vienna University of Music and Performing Arts as a solo violinist, as well as in chamber music.
Since 2018 I have held a position in the 2nd Violin Group of the Belgian National Orchestra in Brussels.
As an enthusiastic chamber music player, I play regularly and give concerts with different ensembles in Belgium as the Brussels String Quartet.
Teaching and sharing with you all my music knowledge has a very important role in my life.
My research on how to deal with stress on stage is another topic that I find essential and very helpful for everyone who has some issues and wants to improve in that way.

My name is Francisco, I am an Argentinian guitarist currently living in Brussels. I am finishing my studies at the conservatory (KCB), but I have been playing for most of my life and teaching privately and in music academics for a few years already.
Although my main focus musically is in jazz and improvisation in general, I am also into funk, blues, rock, pop, indie and folk.

I would define my teaching style as flexible, in the sense that I believe in building a programme together with each of my students, in the which his or her specific musical interests are covered and the same time, diving into and developing the areas which I consider fundamental, regardless of the musical style or genre: rhythm and time feel, sound, technique, posture and fretboard knowledge.

Some of the topics that we will cover:

Repertoire (learning songs)
Triads and scales
Chords
Metronome exercises
Picking
Left and right hand coordination

And more!

I create myself special music gadgets in order to make the learning process interesting and enjoyable, especially for the often feared subject of Music Theory.

Giovanna raised and formed in Florence, where she began her guitar studies at the age of five at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole. In September, she graduated cum laude and she's currently enrolled in the Master’s program at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, studying with Antigoni Goni.

Winner of many international competitions, she performed plenty of times in Italy and in 2023 she has held a solo concert in Milan for the XXXVIII Società Umanitaria's concerts season. Next to renowned guitarists, such as Luigi Attademo and Giorgio Albiani, she performed the world premiere of Álvaro Company’s Concert Català for ten guitars, in the revision by Vincenzo Saldarelli.

Alongside her performing activity, Giovanna has developed a strong dedication to teaching adults, children, and teenagers. She tailors each learning path to the individual student, carefully balancing personal interests with technical and artistic development, whether for amateur musicians or students preparing for conservatory admission. Her teaching approach places particular emphasis on physical awareness and well-being, guiding students toward healthy and efficient use of the body while playing. Music theory is fully integrated into her lessons and is always connected to practical application on the instrument.

This class is designed for the semi-professional or advanced hobbyist looking to bridge the gap between the bedroom and the stage. Drawing on 23 years of professional performance and film scoring experience, I offer high level coaching in all genres and techniques.

We focus on "Diagnostic Teaching" identifying the specific mechanical or conceptual barriers holding you back and creating bespoke exercises to move you past technical ruts. We can also dive into professional songwriting, practical music theory, and home recording workflows using Logic or Ableton. This is industry integrated learning designed to meet real-world standards.
