Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

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.

Composing your own music has always been a very rewarding task. This has never been so true as the present day when you can hear what you compose instantly if you use computers to generate and play back your own music. However, to ensure that your music sounds really great (whether using computers, manuscript or actual instruments) there are many principles to be considered.

I have had a great interest in composing for over 45 years. I have composed for various combinations of instruments and voices in a wide variety of styles. Having been a music teacher in a comprehensive school for over 30 years, I have had a lot of very relevant experience in teaching composition to a wide range of different ages and abilities. These opportunities have enabled me to tutor students in a diverse variety of genres.

The class will be personalized to your particular standard and chosen style of composition. We would focus on generic building blocks such as structure and instrumentation as well as looking at how to develop ideas. Using a range of compositional devices will also be key to enhancing your compositions. I will tailor-make the class to suit you.

Are you stuck? I can help!

In our composition lessons, we’ll both learn how to get more from basic elements, like pitch and rhythm, and also the things we can do to help make a composition more poetic. We can work on how to get more music from fewer ideas to create a consistent musical language, and also explore the idea of opposites in your compositions, blending and smearing contrasting elements to add depth and complexity to your work.

Through the analysis of great music, the composition of miniatures, and feedback on your current projects, you’ll both increase your technical fluency and simultaneously learn to love and develop your unique voice. This class is for any level of composer, whether you're a beginner or an experienced composer seeking to enhance your creative skills. Don't wait any longer :)

Would you like to learn guitar or singing in a truly practical, personalized way, focused on real results? My classes are designed for people who want to develop genuine musical skills, without outdated, overly theoretical methods or monotonous classes that ultimately kill motivation.

I offer individual guitar and singing lessons, fully tailored to each student's level, goals, and musical style. Whether you're a complete beginner who's never taken a lesson before, or you already have experience and want to improve your technique, gain confidence, or sound more professional, we'll work with a dynamic and modern approach to help you progress steadily.

In singing lessons, we'll work on breathing, pitch, vocal control, support, projection, interpretation, and developing a freer, more confident voice. You'll also learn how to reduce tension, improve your vocal stamina, and develop greater control over your voice while singing songs you truly enjoy. Lessons can be tailored to any musical style, from pop, rock, and ballads to more technical genres like opera, soul, R&B, and other vocal approaches, depending on your goals and interests.

In guitar lessons you'll learn technique, rhythm, coordination, chord changes, clean playing, musicality, and practical application through real songs. The goal isn't to memorize meaningless theory, but to help you play with ease, confidence, and genuine musical understanding from the very first sessions.

My teaching approach focuses on creating a comfortable, relaxed, and motivating environment where students can learn without fear of making mistakes. I firmly believe that music should be enjoyed from the very beginning, and that good teaching depends not only on qualifications or rigid methods, but also on the ability to connect with the student, explain clearly, and help them truly see results.

Each student receives a personalized experience, working on exercises, repertoire, and specific goals tailored to their needs. Whether you want to learn as a hobby, record covers, develop your technique, or simply discover more of your musical potential, the classes will be designed to help you make real and consistent progress.

Classes are available both online and at home, offering flexibility and convenience to better fit your routine.

Music isn't just theory or technique: it's also expression, confidence, and emotion. My goal is to help you develop these skills while you enjoy the process and discover everything you're capable of achieving musically.
