Hello to readers of this ad!
My name is Nils, I am currently 20 years old and I have been playing music since the age of 6 as an autodidact. Since then, there has been a long way to go until today I recorded my first jazz and funk solo projects, all without knowing how to read a score.
If I write this today it's because I want to share my experience in order to provide an initial learning of musicality, listening and analysis. I want to teach you how to play music as you see it. Of course I will focus on the technique and training of the latter, because it is necessary to achieve its specific musical goals. Finally, I will not hesitate to play other instruments than yours during certain sessions in order to (if it is not already done) introduce you to group music, listening to others and musical complementarity.
Thank you for reading, see you soon I hope! Nils
Extra information
I'm going home for classes. I have a bass, an electric guitar, an acoustic guitar, and a mini amp. It is necessary that you have your equipment! As part of a guitar class specify me if you want to play acoustic guitar or electric.

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.

Matéo
Hello, welcome to my ad!

My name is Matéo and I am 26 years old. I have been playing guitar for 9 years and teaching it for 5 years. After studying at the conservatory and music school, I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) specializing in jazz guitar. Over the years, I have been able to accompany around forty students, both in private lessons, group lessons and at the conservatory where I teach today.


OPTION1) The course I offer is aimed at beginner to intermediate level guitarists, of all ages (children too!), in acoustic and electric guitar.
My goal is to give you the essential basics of the instrument (body position, technique, chords) as well as an understanding of fundamental musical concepts (rhythm, ear, reading tablature and/or music theory) which will be very useful to you as a musician.
We will base our learning as quickly as possible on real pieces of music, if possible suggested by the student because I think that learning by playing the music you like is the most motivating method.
As a teacher, I have always adapted as best I could to each profile to make them learn in the way that suited them best, make them play the music they like, help them with their difficulties and push them to surpass themselves in their abilities.
Finally, I always make sure that the lessons take place in a calm and pleasant atmosphere so that the student progresses at their own pace and learns while having fun.


OPTION 2) This course is for intermediate to advanced guitarists (and musicians in general) who want to acquire a deeper understanding of music theory. What we can cover, depending on your needs: analysis, harmony, composition, transcription, improvisation, music theory, ...


Lessons can take place at my home, in the 15th arrondissement, or at the student's home where I can travel (for an extra) within a reasonable radius.

Declared via CESU (Universal Employment Service Check) or self-employed invoice.

My lessons are personalized and dynamic. They combine instrumental technique with ear training, applied theory, and repertoire that most motivates the student. My goal is to train not only competent bass players, but well-rounded musicians who understand their role within a band and develop their own artistic voice.

🎯 MAIN OBJECTIVES
• Mastering right-hand and left-hand techniques (fingerstyle, slap, tapping, etc.).
• Develop an active musical ear and improvisation skills.
• Understand the role of the bass in different musical styles and contexts.
• Acquire tools to play with ease in ensembles and recording sessions.
• Stimulate creativity and personal expression through the instrument.

📦 INCLUDED MATERIALS
• 📖 PDFs with progressive technical exercises, from beginner to advanced level.
• 🎧 Audio files (play-alongs) for practicing in a real context.
• 🎼 Customizable repertoire: pieces chosen by the student, adapted to their level.
• 📚 Modules of harmony and theory applied to bass.
• 🎶 Improvisation material: scales, rhythmic patterns and stylistic language.

🔄 METHOD STRUCTURE
1. Initial assessment: diagnosis of musical level and interests.
2. Personalized plan: selection of the directory and definition of short/medium term objectives.
3. Dynamic lessons: combination of technique, repertoire, ear training and improvisation.
4. Continuous monitoring: progress recordings, personalized feedback and adjustments.

🎸 CONTENT BY LEVEL
• Beginner: posture, chords, basic grooves, rhythmic reading, simple pieces.
• Intermediate: slap technique, major and minor scales, walking bass, intermediate level repertoire.
• Advanced: extensive techniques, modern harmony, free improvisation, complex repertoire.

👨‍🏫 PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH
• A flexible method that adapts to the student's tastes and objectives.
• Contextual practice: all exercises applied in real musical situations.
• Emphasis on musicality, not just technique.
• Use of technology to optimize learning (apps, audio, video).
