ROCK, BLUES, FUNK, COUNTRY & METAL

I started playing guitar twenty years ago and founded my private school in 2007 in Lausanne, Switzerland. I teach electric guitar or folk (blues to metal through all genres) but also bass, dobro, banjo and ukulele. The real plus ? I like my job and I practice it full time ...

TEACH & LEARN

Since the creation of Rock Note, I take my job very seriously and everyone gets a lesson up to it. The recipe ? Professionalism, passion and devotion.
Of course, many things have evolved since the very beginning, but I insist on the constant deepening of my educational system to be sure to meet the needs of everyone ...

METHOD & PEDAGOGY

My method is focused on maximizing course customization. If you are a beginner, I will try to make you ring some melodies in no time, and if you are more advanced the idea is to make you progress according to your expectations. I am moreover an eclectic musician and I am open to all challenges ...

The few MORE ROCK NOTE:

- Teaching in a bright space dedicated to the guitar
- Course customization
- Great pedagogy and very good human contact
- From blues to metal and all kinds
- The student chooses his pieces
- Adapted theory
- "Young Note" program specific for the little ones
- Complete program to learn Banjo, Dobro and Ukulele
- Course possible in English
- Tips for buying basic equipment
- Rental equipment
- Location in the center of Lausanne at 2 St-François bus stop
- No loss of money in case of absence
- Guaranteed results in a short time

See you soon :)

As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship.

As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years.

Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument!
I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra.

In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

Hello,

My name is Marco, and I invite you to pass on my passion for the guitar, and more broadly for music.

Music brings a lot. Whether it's emotions, personal satisfaction, moments of grace, whether you're a spectator or on stage, encounters and exchanges that are so interesting with other musicians...

My goal is to send you enough motivation and pleasure so that you never give up on this inexhaustible source of joy and discovery.

To achieve this, my main tool, as in music, will be listening.
Listening to you, understanding what you dream of achieving, then helping you get there, this is my method. So my experience and my knowledge will allow us to approach the styles that interest you: Songs, Pop, Rock, Folk, Fingerstyle, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Bossa nova, Samba... as much as to accompany you in your own creations .

So during our first session we will discuss the artists and guitarists who are close to our hearts. If you already know songs, you can play them for me, easily, without stress, and for the most advanced among you, it will even be an opportunity to jam.

Whether it's for you or your child, whether you're a student or a retiree, I'm interested in all profiles, because everyone can have fun learning to play the guitar.

See you soon !

Hello, my Name is Nicholas.

I play the piano since I am 6 years old. My aim is to help people play music easily and have fun while they are playing
I teach people how to read chords so that they can basically play any modern music (Beatles, pop, etc). Most of the modern songs are composed of 4 chords repeated over and over.
If you learn the 8 chords (there are only 8 chords) you can basically learn to play all modern songs.

I can also teach you Jazz and how to improvise on electric guitar or piano.

Patient, pedagogical, and attentive to the student's needs, my lessons are structured to help them progress quickly. My motivation for teaching stems from a desire to share my passion for music with everyone.
In my courses, practice and theory have an equal place: technical exercises, clarifications in solfège, chamber music and simple pieces then more complex depending on the student's level and desires.

Indeed you are however free to choose what you wish to work on, to propose pieces as well as to deepen a particular point, a specific technique for the most experienced.


Having started playing this instrument at the age of six, my deep attraction to music developed gradually through chamber music and the orchestra.

Currently, I give private and group lessons (from musical awakening to more advanced levels) as well as concerts in different venues (churches, performance halls, hospitals, retirement homes).

I attended the CRR of Rueil-Malmaison where I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) a few years ago, then the Geneva University of Music (HEM) where I obtained my Bachelor's degree. Afterwards, I studied in Stockholm at the Royal Academy of Music (KMH).

For about ten years now, I have been acquiring

You can choose to focus on the instrument, deepen your musical understanding through music theory, or combine both for a comprehensive learning experience.
