Great experience in school support. Trained in mental management up to a consistent level (level 3 with IF Belgium), my approach consists of starting from where the student is to accompany him towards a better understanding of his own way of understanding, working, to remember a lesson, to make things happen in class in the classroom.

This very rich work, focused on the young person and his needs, has the merit of drawing from his resources to help him regain his self-confidence.

I saw young people in a bad situation, on the verge of dropping out, finding curiosity and wanting to learn.

I help primary and secondary students in all subjects.

After the second high school I focus on the subjects of literature and languages ​​(French, history-geography, philosophy, English etc.) that correspond to my curriculum.

Graduate in Modern Letters in France, University of Nantes (Bachelor).

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

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.

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.

• Jazz guitar student at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels
• 3 years of study at the "Jazz/Pop Studio" in Antwerp
• 16 years of practice
• Animator certified by the French Community

These are the points that I address during a one-hour lesson, following a learning method that I have specially designed for children: fun, creative and rewarding!

• A repertoire of songs and melodies with increasing difficulties so that the student progresses methodically.
• A first approach to music theory and music theory in a coloring workshop for the little ones, in a musical context for the older ones.
• Technical exercises, always in a musical context, in order to allow the student to overcome the technical difficulties of the guitar and to guide him towards total musical independence.
• A “listening and discovery” part where I try to introduce the student to aspects of music that they are unaware of (improvisation, sound of instruments, different musical styles, the role of each instrument in a group/orchestra, etc.). ..)

As said before, my goal is to guide the student towards musical independence so that he can progress on his own in the long term. Learning the guitar also means developing self-confidence, creativity, perseverance and methodology.

Posture and comfort with the instrument are the foundation for playing the guitar. I often make the connection with other musical instruments such as percussion, wind instruments and singing.

Separating and understanding the roles of the two hands is another important step in the course. One hand plays the rhythm and the other plays the notes on the fretboard. There are many exercises to develop the knowledge and skills of both hands.

Looking to grow as a guitarist and musician? Whether you’re starting out, or stuck beneath a musical “glass ceiling”, I offer fully personalized lessons mainly for intermediate but also to beginner level guitarists. I will be happy to discuss your or your child's needs and craft a course with you!

If you’re an intermediate player, here’s the steps:

- We’ll find out your level and current blocking points ⚠️
- We’ll carve a path together, targeting your weak spots (do you miss scales? modes? extended chords? arrangement theory? melodic development? and countless more)
- We’ll create material together, based on your ideas or ideas that I will provide you ✏️
- You’ll become an all-around player that can create ideas, express them clearly, and elaborate them tastefully, while improvising in real-time. 🤘

If you’re a beginner player of any age:

- We’ll figure out your vision (what do you listen to, and what would you like to sound like)
- We’ll start with basic but engaging material, so that you reach base musicality as fast as possible. You’d be surprised how creative you can become with a couple of constraints and a bit of engagement!
- We’ll slowly introduce the theory that sits behind your vision, the material, and your playing
- You’ll develop intuition on the instrument and fluid playing in your preferred genre: The world is now your oyster 🤘

Hi, I'm Ally. I don't just teach people how to play songs; I develop independent musicians who truly understand their instrument. With over 20 years of professional experience and a decade as a senior teacher, I’ve helped hundreds of beginners move past the "stuck" phase.

In this class, we move at your pace in a relaxed, supportive environment. You’ll learn technical development and fretboard visualization through a structured, outcome-driven approach. Every lesson comes with a clear, custom-engineered practice plan so you know exactly what to do between sessions. My goal is to give you the tools you need so that eventually, you won't need a teacher at all.
