Classical Guitar Lessons for Children and Adults – All Levels

From 75 C$ /h

Would you like to learn classical guitar with a solid technique, a beautiful sound and a better understanding of music?

I offer personalised classical guitar lessons for children, teenagers and adults, from complete beginners to advanced students. Each lesson is adapted to the student’s level, musical interests and personal goals.

During the lessons, we can work on:

• Classical guitar technique and healthy posture
• Music reading, rhythm and music theory
• Tone production, coordination and musical expression
• Repertoire adapted to your level and interests
• Effective and structured practice methods
• Preparation for examinations, auditions and performances
• Solutions for tension and specific technical difficulties

My teaching combines technical development with musical expression. I do not only correct mistakes: I help students understand how to practise efficiently and become more confident and independent musicians.

I hold a Master of Arts in Music from the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp and graduated with honours from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). I have approximately 15 years of experience as a classical guitarist and five years of teaching experience in schools.

Lessons are available in person in Edegem and nearby areas, or online. Lessons can be taught in Spanish, English, Middel German or basic Dutch.

Extra information

Students should bring their own classical guitar and, if available, a footstool or guitar support. Beginners who do not yet own an instrument are welcome to contact me before purchasing one.

Please bring any music or repertoire you are currently studying. Additional learning materials will be selected according to your level and goals.

For online lessons, students need a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone.

About Me

I am a classical guitarist, music teacher and researcher from Mexico, currently based in Edegem, near Antwerp.

I teach because I enjoy helping students discover their own musical abilities and overcome difficulties that may initially seem impossible. I am a patient, attentive and structured teacher. My goal is to create a positive environment in which students can learn without fear of making mistakes.

Every student is different. Some want to play for pleasure, while others wish to improve their technique or prepare for an examination, audition or performance. I adapt my teaching methods, repertoire and practice strategies to each student's age, level and personal goals.

In my lessons, I combine healthy technique, musical understanding and artistic expression. I want my students not only to play the correct notes, but also to understand the music, practice independently and develop confidence in their own playing.

Discover the world of mandolin and guitar through personalised lessons adapted to your interests, goals, and experience level.

I am a professional musician, teacher, and researcher based in Antwerp, holding a PhD in the Arts, a Master of Music, and a Bachelor of Music from the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp. I also have several years of teaching experience in music academies in Belgium and extensive experience as a performer in Belgium, Greece, and abroad.

Lessons are open to children, teenagers, and adults, from complete beginners to more advanced students. Whether you would like to learn your first chords, develop your technique, improve your musical expression, or explore a particular style of music, lessons are tailored to your individual needs.

For mandolin students, lessons can include classical repertoire, folk and traditional music, technique, music reading, ear training, ensemble playing, and stylistic interpretation. Guitar students can work on classical or folk guitar, accompaniment techniques, chords, rhythm, reading music, and repertoire development.

My teaching approach combines technical development with creativity and musical enjoyment. I aim to create a supportive learning environment where students can progress at their own pace while building confidence and musical skills.

I can give lessons to players who already have some foundation and would like to improve or learn new techniques. I prefer a relaxed teaching approach tailored to the player's individual interests. I play metal, rock, blues, and some classical and flamenco.

I can help you learn your favorite licks, and solos and explain theory if interested.
We can go over the techniques:

• Alternate picking
• Economy picking
• Legato
• Sweep picking
• tapping
• vibrato & bending

There is no strict structure. Lessons are flexible and can be arranged on an ad-hoc basis.

Cello Lessons for all levels:
My main goal with my teaching is to share my passion for music with my students. I believe strongly that this passion leads to discipline and curiosity which benefit all other aspects of one's life. Whether or not my students decide to pursue music as their main profession, I believe they have much to gain from learning the cello. Besides the discipline one learns, Music-making in itself is fulfilling!! :)

Conservatory Preparation:
In my experience as a musician living and working in Belgium for the past 9 years, I have noticed a gap in the musical education of young Belgian music students transitioning from Music academies into Conservatories. Oftentimes, these young music students seeking to enter conservatories do not possess the necessary skill level to enter higher education in Music. Through my private teaching, I intend to bridge this gap by catering specifically (though not exclusively) to these students. I strongly believe that there is a huge demand for this type of teaching which I am capable of providing.

I am Verena and I have a Master's degree In classical double bass (French Bow), as well as a background in studying Electric Bass.
I can teach the basics and the advanced skills of approaching these Instruments. The key for someone to love studying music is, I believe, the approach to playing in the first place. I consider myself a very kind and patient person with a passion for teaching and knowing new people.
I have always combined classical music with my passion for all stringed Instruments. Here is my passion for the guitar specifically for the acoustic guitar using folk/finger-picking techniques.
Due to the difficulty of having access in the first place to instruments like the double bass, I think it is essential to have the opportunity for a first lesson before deciding to invest In an instrument.

As an experienced music theory tutor and professional pianist, I use a curriculum established by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) in the UK to guide students from grades 1-8 (beginning up to early-advanced levels) towards mastery of music theory. We can start from the beginning and work your way up, or find a suitable level based on prior knowledge. My students regularly achieve highest marks in the ABRSM exams following this system. However, if exams are not your goal, and you would simply like a deeper level of theoretical understanding of your music pieces, we apply the insights gained from this course directly to the pieces you are studying without a lot of stress.

Course components include:

Notation and solfège
Rhythm
Meter
Scales + Arpeggios
Intervals
Chords
Cadences
Harmonic Function
Form and Analysis

My background in music theory derives from my professional musical training in the USA where I followed advanced honors-level music theory, ear-training, musical analysis, and orchestral conducting courses in addition to my regular piano performance studies. The insights provided from these analytical courses have proved immensely beneficial to my own life as a pianist. This knowledge not only speeds up the learning process for a musical piece, but also increases confidence in performance by enhancing memorization skills and providing a higher level of awareness of the components which drive musical phrasing and expression. A knowledge of music theory is therefore a crucial element for proficiency of any instrument and a huge aid to any serious music student.

Nice to meet you :D

My name is Melvin, and I'm a pianist/composer and music theorist who loves to guide people with a passion for music! In my lessons, I teach three different subjects in which I specialize and perhaps can help you improve your skills as a musician.

If you want to play the piano intuitively, without thinking about it, or interpret scores, then Piano + Improvisation is the course for you! Together, we'll break through the boundaries of traditional sheet music and teach you to unleash your inner musicality. Whether you're a beginning pianist longing to improvise simple melodies or an experienced player looking to explore new expressive paths, I'll inspire and encourage you to broaden your musical horizons.

Have you always wanted to write your own music, but don't know how to get started? Then together we'll push your creative boundaries and help you develop your own musical masterpieces. Whether you're a budding composer taking your first steps or an experienced musician looking for new inspiration, I'm here to guide and inspire you on your unique composition journey.

Need some theory because you don't understand certain elements of music? No worries! Step by step, we'll explore the fundamentals of music theory together, delving into notes, chords, rhythm, and structure. You'll discover how all these elements work together to create masterpieces, or to better understand scores as a musician.

I'm looking forward to meeting you :D

Welcome to your ney class! The ney, a traditional Turkish reed flute, is one of the oldest musical instruments in history. With its soft, soulful sounds, the ney holds an important place in Turkish and Islamic culture, especially in Sufi music. This enchanting instrument is not only a medium for music, but also a bridge to spiritual expression.

The ney is closely associated with the teachings of Rumi (Mevlana), the great Persian poet and Sufi mystic of the 13th century. Rumi often used the ney as a metaphor for the human soul. He compared the hollow body of the ney to a human being longing for reunion with his divine origins, producing melodies of longing and love.

In this course you will not only learn the technical skills to play the ney, but you will also discover its profound spiritual and cultural significance. Let the journey begin!

Ney derslerinize hoş geldiniz! Ney, geleneksel bir Türk kamış flutü olup tarihin und eski müzik enstrümanlarından biridir. Yumuşak ve duygulu sesi, özellikle tasavvuf müziğinde, Türk ve İslam kültüründe derin bir yere sahiptir. Bu yüleyici enstrüman, sadece bir müzik aracı değil, aynı zamanda ruhsal bir ifade yoludur.

Ney, 13. yüzyılın büyük Pers şairi ve tasavvuf düşünürü Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi'nin (Mevlana) öğretileriyle yakından ilişkilidir. Mevlana, neyi insan ruhuna bir metafor olarak kullanmıştır. Onun boş gövdesini, ilahi kaynağıyla kavuşmayı özleyen bir insan olarak görmüş ve bu özlemin melodilerini neyin sesiyle anlatmıştır.

Bu derste, neyi çalmayı öğrenirken aynı zamanda onunder derin manevi ve kültürel anlamını da keşfedeceksiniz. Haydi, yolculuk başlasın!

I am a graduate of the Antwerp Conservatory of Music and have been playing the cello for 20 years. Despite my young age, since 2012, after winning many auditions, I have played in orchestral projects in 18 European countries. I regularly participated in music courses and workshops.
Currently, I work as a freelancer and am an active concert musician and private teacher.
From my own experience, I know how important it is to practise sensibly and effectively at home, which is why I am happy to help young cello students who cannot count on the help of their parents, who are musicians, in this regard. I also work with adults who want to realise their dreams or return to skills they once acquired.
