Have you always dreamed of singing or humming your favorite hit and accompanying yourself on the guitar?
I adapt to the level of the student, to have the student play as soon as possible, I can accompany him on percussion or bass, no music theory required, if you want to learn with music theory it is also possible .
For over 40 years, I have been part of groups of all styles and I have also performed with street singers.
No nonsense... you suggest your song to me and I will tell you, after evaluating your skills, what it is. We define together what you want to do and for what desired end result.
Classes are held either at home or at my premises located near the airport.
No obligation on the number of lessons, no compulsory music theory, only if desired, no particular age. Then, auf defines the plan of attack together 😉
Don’t hesitate to ask me questions, I don’t bite :)!
Looking forward, have a nice day

Have you always dreamed of singing or humming your favorite hit and accompanying yourself on the guitar?
I adapt to the level of the student, to make the student play as soon as possible, I can accompany him on percussion, bass or guitar, no compulsory music theory, if you want to learn with music theory c It's possible too.
For over 40 years, I have been part of groups of all styles and I also have experience as a street singer.
No nonsense... you offer me your song and I will tell you, after having assessed your skills, what it is. We define together what you want to do and what final result you want. Most hits are played on 3-4 chords.
Classes are held either at your home or at my premises located near Geneva airport.
