Guitar lessons for kids, teens and adults

From 74 C$ /h

Guitar teacher for many years, I am passionate about jazz, blues, folk and fingerpicking.
My classes cover the basics of these different styles in a relaxed manner. Smoothly stringing together chords, exploring different rhythms, correctly placing a melody, trying improvisation (jazz, blues, rock), and developing finger playing techniques (classical or folk) are all central elements of the learning process. These are eventually deepened by notions of music theory and/or music theory.

Teacher trained in the "Arc-en-Sons" method, I also teach children from 4 years old

Classes are for Beginner and Intermediate levels.

Individual lessons (20, 30 or 60 minutes).

Group lessons (up to 4 participants).

Hope to meet you!

Extra information

The student must be in possession of an instrument.
Loan possible for the first 2 lessons.

About Me

Guitarist for over 30 years, I give guitar lessons in various styles (jazz, rock, funk, blues, fingerpicking, bossa nova...).

The children's lessons are based on the Arc-en-Sons method, allowing to start the guitar from 4 years old. The learning is based on the senses of the child (hearing, sight, touch), play and singing. Once acquired the technical subtleties of the instrument, this method opens to any form of teaching of the guitar, classical or other. We learn music theory directly on the instrument and melodies known on tablatures.

For teenagers and adults the courses include:

- reading notes

- Learning chords and application on known songs.

- mediator and finger play technique

- learning improvisation jazz, blues and rock.

I give lessons at home or via skype

Opportunity to try a course without owning a guitar

Individual or group lessons (4 students max)

Education

Training at Arc-en-Sons (method to teach the guitar to children)

Experience / Qualifications

I am naturally patient and calm. I currently give classes to 25-30 students aged 4 to 65 years old.
My method is not fixed and adapts to the objectives and level of each person. Depending on musical tastes, I work on pieces of progressive difficulty by introducing or deepening certain techniques specific to particular guitar styles (jazz, blues, classical, bossa nova, etc.). During classes, theory can precede practice, accompany it or follow it.
My greatest satisfaction: to see progress.

Hello everyone ! I am 39 years old, I am a professional guitarist and graduate composer. My rich and varied musical journey, going from "Art Rock" to Classic, passing by French song and currently jazz allowed me to acquire a beautiful experience that I like to share with my students.

Obviously passionate about my favorite instrument, I am just as passionate about music theory. From baroque counterpoint to jazz harmony, from classical orchestration to digital music publishing, I have always thought that understanding the sound universe multiplies perspectives, opens up new horizons! My method is simple and has always proven to be effective: working in symbiosis with pure instrumental technique and the general understanding of music, its cogs which seem to the novice musician so mysterious.

In addition to basic instrument learning, I also teach:
🎸️ Experimental instrumental techniques
🎸️ Work of virtuosity
🎸️ Picking game
🎤️ How to go well with singing
🎵️ Arrangement
🎵️ Composition
🎵️ Harmony (classical or jazz)
🎵️ Improvisation
💻️ MAO (Computer Aided Music)

Exploring musical styles:
#Pop #EXP #Classique #Electro #Jazz #Jazz Manouche #Art & Hard Rock #Chanson Française #Blues #Funk (60's / 70's)

🎥️ Possibility of lessons by webcam
️🇬🇧️ I also speak English
🏡️ I give lessons mainly at my home: Châtelain district in Ixelles, many transport nearby:
🚊️ bus (54), tram (92, 94, 81.) and metro (Louise).

🐸️ GREAT BEGINNERS welcome! (no prior knowledge necessary)

See you soon !

I’m an enthusiastic Cellist from Ukraine specialized in teaching children. I have a pedagogy education from the Dnipro Academy of Music and want to show your children how much fun it is to learn to play cello, learning the right technique and feeling the music. In Ukraine I studied with Artem Poludennyi, one of the best Cellists of Ukraine, who performs as Soloist with all major Ukrainian orchestras and internationally. Here in Belgium I completed my Master at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with the famous Cellist Jeroen Reuling, and currently finishing my 2nd master degree in Namur with Pierre Fontenelle.
I teach at home in Ixelles or can come to your house in Brussels or Namur.

Despite my focus on teaching children, I’m also happy to accept adult students.

Don’t feel shy to contact me if you have questions.

I will be a hundred cellos,
all in one.
I will play – I will sing,
I'll have fun.

I'll describe a murky rainforest,
with the rhythm in my soul.
I'll be a thunderous storm,
It's my only goal.

And when I'm done with my few songs,
People stand: applause.
I'll smile and bow down with thanks,
It's my only cause.

The guitar is an instrument of infinite richness—capable of expressing both the sweetness of an intimate melody and the power of a full orchestra. In this course, you'll learn to master the guitar as a means of personal expression, developing your technique, ear, and musicianship.

Whether you are a beginner or already experienced, I will guide you step by step through the essential basics (posture, rhythm, chords, reading) to advanced techniques (arpeggios, improvisation, interpretation and arrangements).

My approach connects instrumental practice with musical understanding, so you can not only play, but also understand and feel the music you create. Each lesson is tailored to your level and style—classical, modern, or creative.

Bonjour tout le monde,
My name is Francisco and your own profession as a cellist. My goal is to guide you on your musical journey, fully tailored to your wishes.
For beginners, we do some appropriate work on basic posture, instrument tone, and technique to build a good position as a foundation for the debut. If it is so important to master the position and technique of the debut, it is not just about creating muscle tension and contra-contraignant notes, but also about experiencing a fluid way of playing. All good news is good; I am not a sworn or sarcastic professor, I promise :)
Once you have reached a higher level, we will focus on musical expression, sound quality, and the available techniques.
This also applies to the importance of the development of the musical ear.

Feel free to contact me if you have a question; I would be happy to answer it.

Dans l'attente de vous reencounter,

Francis

FR / NL / EN

FR:

Each student has their own goals, tastes, and learning style. Therefore, I tailor the course to each student's level and expectations.

For a beginner, we gradually work on posture, technique, reading and the first notions of music theory while quickly playing pieces.

For a more advanced student, the work may be more oriented towards interpretation, technique, musical analysis, accompaniment or preparation for an exam or audition.

Music theory is naturally integrated into the piano course so that it can be used directly for musical practice: reading a score, understanding the rhythm, the tones, the chords and the structure of a piece.

I also offer personalized support for preparing for conservatory entrance exams.

NL:

Elke leerling heeft zijn de haar eigen doelstellingen, muzikale voorkeuren en manier van leren. Daarom stem ik elke les af op het level en de verwachtingen van de leerling.

For beginners we work with you on a sound track, techniques, notes and the basis of music theory, we know that this is the music you play.

You can also focus on interpretation, technology, music analysis, piano performance and audit examination.

Music theory is a natural way to handle piano music, there are two strings that tend to be used in music practices: light scores, rhythms can be played, toonaarden in akkoorden are included in the structure of the music.

I also have people who are interested in your teaching exams at the conservatory.

IN :

Each student has their own goals, musical preferences, and way of learning. I therefore tailor each lesson to their level and individual expectations.

For beginners, we progressively work on posture, technique, reading music, and the basics of music theory, while quickly learning and playing actual pieces.

For more advanced students, the lessons can focus more on interpretation, technique, musical analysis, accompaniment, or preparation for an exam or audition.

Music theory is naturally integrated into the piano lessons so that it directly supports musical practice: reading a score, understanding rhythm, keys, chords, and the structure of a piece.

I also offer personalized guidance for preparing entrance examinations for conservatories.
