About Me

So here are a few paragraphs so you can get to know me better ..

It's been 10 years since I was a guitarist, I started playing guitar at the age of 15 in a very small school near Angoulême. After 3 years of apprenticeship, I set up my first group with high school friends called "We're all insane" (Rock). This group will last 2 years and we had already made a few stepping stones but my desire to continue to improve my instrument.
So I leave for Bordeaux, with this single idea in mind, to pass an audition in a professional school in the field of music, CIAM.
I was caught in the first year, and that's where the real adventure began.

In this school, I learned most of what I can now teach: theory, harmony, technique, music theory, group play, self-confidence, social environment of the musician, sensory sensations of music and many styles such as jazz, world music, metal and rock.
For 3 years, I was very studious which allowed me, for each year of training, to obtain a complete financing of the region.
I also had the opportunity to do a lot of project. some fell in the water, others were able to see the day. I was able to ride with friends from this school, the band Les Dealers de Son which was a group of occasions typed Funk / Jazz, World, groove. I also set up my own band New Age of a French Stone (Heavy Rock) and Stella & TChang (Cover band any style - Rock 50's, 60's but also Pop, Jazz, Ska-Reggae, Blues and Folk).
These multiple experiences have directly propelled me into the alternative world of the independent musician.
During all this time, I also took the opportunity to teach everything I learned in class, either to discover or perfect the style of my students, or to support students from the same school that was a lower class at mine.
I also participated in some masterclasses with very great guitarists like Christophe Godin, Patrick Rondat, Guthrie Govan, and many others ...
This school also allowed me to diversify and learn bass, drums and singing.

After this school, it's the launch in the active life !! So the primary goal is to find concerts and play as much as possible.
To date, I have had several experiences as a jam session organizer, replacing in a soul band, replacing in a metal band, evening leader with my group Stella & TChang where we mainly made the covers requested by our guests (Weddings, CE, Barmitzva, ..)
It's been almost 3 years now and I'm going on between private lessons and concerts all over southwestern France.

Here I am now in Belgium to continue to share my passion through the youngest and oldest.

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

Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress.

Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward.

The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you.

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 ... .

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.

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 🤘

Music is one the most approachable and expressive arts. It is a worldwide way of connecting with people, a language that everyone is potentially fluent. But most of all music is a shelter, whether you're a professional or you do it as a hobby.

I can share my knowledge with you about an art I deeply love and I can help you express yourself the way you meant to. Through the years I have had students of all ages from early primary school students to 60 year old young artists. I will form a teaching approach based on your needs and your unique way of learning and after the first few lessons you'll be able to enjoy the outcome of this programme.

I am 28 years old and I started studying music at the age of 12. In 2017 I got a degree on classical guitar from the conservatorium "Musical Horizons" in Athens. In 2024 I got my bachelor's degree in "Music Technology and Acoustics". Through the years I have taken guitar lessons from many different professionals of different genres on electric guitar, so I can confidently say that I have formed a spherical approach on the instrument. Since 2017 I have been making a living as a musician performing and giving lessons, so my focus and time is completely dedicated to music.
