Guitar Lessons in Maastricht. Intermediate and advanced students.

From 49 C$ /h

Hi, my name is Francisco. I am an argentinian guitar player currently located in Maastricht, Netherlands.
I have been playing and studying music for many years and Im also actively performing and recording for my own or other people's projects. I have been teaching for more than 8 years now and I have experience working together with begginer, intermediate and more advanced students. At the moment, I am narrowing my lessons for people who already know the basics and want to expand on their knowledge. I am a jazz guitar player and my main interest is improvisation but the lessons are not limited to people looking to learn jazz, but also to those with interest in blues, rock, pop, etc.

Some of the things we will be working on are:

Triads, Scales, Voicings, Time Feel, Rhythm, Repertoire, Tools for playing in a band, Comping, and more.

The lessons can either be online via Zoom or Google Meet, or at my place in Maastricht.

(Of course, I am open to teach beginner students as well in some cases, upon discussion.)

Location

Online from Belgium

About Me

Hi there! My name is Francisco. I am a guitar player from Argentina and I relocated in the Netherlands in 2021. I moved here to continue exploring and to expand my musical knowledge and experience at Maastricht Conservatorium. As from September, I am offering lessons in Brussels were I relocated to study under the guidance of Nelson Veras, one of the most important guitarists out there!
I have been studying and playing guitar since the age of 14. I've had many different bands and projects with the which I recorded and gigged a lot. One of my dearest groups is Chenopodium Quinoa Wild, which I formed with 3 of my closest friends in a little beach town in Ecuador (you can check the music in spotify).

Although my main focus for the last few years has been playing jazz, I enjoy to play all kinds of music. Rock, pop, blues, funk, etc

My aim is to provide a personalized learning experience to all of my students.

Send me a message and let's start working together!

Also, I not only teach, but also play with different groups, compose and record.

Guitar lessons for beginner and intermediate players in Brussels

69 C$ /h

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!

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 ... .
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.

The rule is simple: don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself! Students are encouraged to try, fail, and overall be proactive in learning new information in bite-sized chunks: all of that in a warm and comforting environment.

Depending on the personal goal of the student, we will learn/refine/explore the following topics:
- Fundamental techniques of playing piano
- How to read and play chords
- How to play an improvised solo
- How to change the underlying harmonies of a song to make it sound cooler (or weirder!)
- Understanding how the musical elements are glued in a song, and if you dare, how to write one yourself
- How to learn music or play music by ear
- Exploring piano-looking-like instruments such as electric keyboards and subtractive synthesizers

Languages: English (fluent), German (B1 and improving), Korean (native)

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.

I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages.

Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable.

Whether you want to understand a particular aspect of music theory or If you struggle with music theory in general, then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?

Any level welcome in this class. Learning songs is the beginning of the adventure, learning to play music with freedom is the lifelong journey. Improvisation does not mean we forget about technique! So, learn some saxophone, some jazz skills, and music theory in a tried-and-tested way developed over my many years of teaching.

I am as passionate about improvisation as the saxophone itself, the two go together beautifully.

I am Julia, a professional saxophonist originally from Montreal, Canada. I live in the Netherlands for 4 years and have a Master's degree in Music. I compose, engineer and perform music. I also love to teach, I have experiences with ages 9 to 90. The main idea of my teaching philosophy is to get the sound in your head out into the air. "Guided Fearless Music-Making" is my motto!

I am active as a music artist and producer myself.

I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly.

- Learn to read music.
- Scales, chords & harmony.
- Form and analysis (classical, jazz or pop).

Would you like to start playing guitar, pick it up again after a break, or overcome a challenge? Do you have a song in mind, a solo that's giving you trouble, or simply the desire to discover unexpected things? Do you want to create your own music, lead a specific project, or express yourself on social media?

I offer individual online lessons, tailored to your level, your tastes and the time you have available.

🎼 Support that starts with you

Are you a beginner? We'll gradually build the foundations through pieces that will inspire you to play. Do you already have some experience? We can refine your technique, improve your interpretation, or understand what's hindering your progress.

Is a chord change not flowing smoothly? Is a fast passage proving difficult despite repetition? We take the time to understand what the problem is. I regularly create customized exercises directly related to the difficulties my students encounter.

We also work on sound, rhythm, nuances and phrasing: everything that brings a performance to life.

The goal is for you to know what to work on, how to do it, and why, even between lessons. I also help you organize your practice to progress with realistic goals and maintain the joy of playing.

🎵 My journey

I am a guitarist and composer, holding two master's degrees obtained at the IMEP in Namur in classical guitar and classical writing.
I have been teaching for 11 years to children, teenagers and adults, in academies, non-profit organizations, private lessons, online and in higher education. These experiences have taught me to adapt my explanations to very different profiles, from the first contact with the instrument to higher musical studies.

I enjoy performing classical music as much as playing a rock riff or transforming a film theme into a guitar arrangement. This curiosity runs through my career and my teaching: I love discovering my students' musical world and helping them bring it to life.

My stage experience ranges from rock bands to solo classical guitar, trios, and quartets. I compose for various ensembles and create numerous arrangements of film scores, video game soundtracks, and songs. One of my pieces was notably performed by the IMEP Grand Choir.

This dual experience as a guitarist and composer informs my teaching: I enjoy explaining what lies behind the notes, understanding the technical challenges, and illuminating choices in harmony, structure, and interpretation, with accessible guidelines for every level. My curiosity for film, literature, computer science, and Japanese culture also enriches the projects I develop with my students.

🎸 What do you feel like playing or creating?

• Classical guitar: repertoire from early music to contemporary music, technique, sound, interpretation and expression.

• Electric guitar: rock, metal, pop, riffs, solos and sound engineering.

• Accompaniment: chords, rhythms, variety and French songs, for playing alone, singing or accompanying other musicians.

• Music from films and video games: play your favorite themes or adapt them for guitar.

• Music theory: understanding chords, harmony, rhythm and the construction of pieces, with explanations linked to practice.

• Composition and arrangement: develop your ideas, write your music or transform a piece to make it your own.

🎵 A place for music in your everyday life

In my teaching, I place equal importance on understanding and the enjoyment of playing. I like to make complex concepts accessible, seeking what will help each student progress and giving them the tools to become independent. My wish is that everyone can develop a practice that suits them, with curiosity, confidence, and the desire to continue.

The courses welcome beginners as well as advanced musicians, with teaching methods adapted to the age and background of each individual.

Tell me what you would like to play or learn, and where you are today!

Comprehensive Practice Support: Every session is backed by custom digital resources, synced notation/tabs, demo & backing tracks, and structured practice routines so you always know what to focus on between classes.

Distance is never a barrier. My lessons run over a stable, high-speed fiber connection with HD video positioned so you always have a clear view of both my fretting and picking hands. Combined with musician-optimized audio settings and real-time screen sharing for tabs, chord charts, and notation, every session feels just as clear and interactive as sitting in the same room.
