Services 

Classes are given either in English or French.

-I can receive you at my own home  studio located in Brussels (Belgium)
-We can have a webcam internet meeting (preferably Skype)
-No matter where you are and what your time is, I am more flexible for webcam meeting requests.

IN PERSON : 
-You can bring your own instrument or borrow one of mine I have at disposal for the classes.
-In your own interest, it is be better to bring yours. 

WEBCAM :
-All you need to get started is your instrument, a computer and a webcam.
-No need for fancy microphones, amps, mix tables or else to get started.
-Of course if you are equipped with more it works too, but that's usually not this much necessary.

SCHEDULE POLICY:
-Be right on time unless we agree for new arrangements beforehand.
-If you are there sooner I might not be able to receive you earlier.
-If you are late, I might need to finish the class on time anyways.

TIMEZONE & ONLINE BOOKING :
-I am located at UTC/GMT + 1h
-If you are not, don't forget to pick your timezone in the Online Booking options.That way ,the slots available in your time will be matching with mine.

CAN'T FIND YOUR SLOT ?
-If none of the slots available works for you...
-If your regular slot isn't available anymore... 
-If your timezone makes it difficult to find a slot that suits you.. 

=>Get in touch with me directly. 
We will find a solution that suits us both :)







 

In order to make it easier for both you and me, I arranged an online agenda where you can see all the available slots I have to plan a session with you.

WITHOUT A PACK FORMULA :
If you haven't got a pack formula yet, you can only book me through the "1h Try-Out Class" service.
You'll have to make a request for a single slot. 
It needs to be checked and approved by me before the session is confirmed in the online agenda.

WITH A PACK FORMULA :
The pack formula will be credited to your account on this website. You can then use your credits to book any service that's available from me.
If you have a 10h or 5h pack , you can then book me directly in the online agenda ,without any request ,for one or more slots.
The session is confirmed instantly.

So if you want to do an Electric Guitar Class and then sometimes try the Acoustic&Folk Guitar Class or even a Bass Class for a change... Or you might also decide to do a restringing and cleaning of your instrument and choose the Maintenance service...All you have to do is pick the matching service you want  in the Online Booking section.

That way I'll have a very easy way to remember and prepare for what's everyone plan by just looking at my online agenda , where all this written info will be a handy reminder.

The greatest feature you should always get from private classes.

Hiring a private teacher means hiring a tutoring and method that is shaped according to you and everything that defines you, wether you're a beginner, a casual, or a pro.

If you want something very specific you should always let me know and we will build a plan according to that very goal you have, without wasting time and efforts.
It might not be mandatory to go through everything there is to know in music theory or master every exercises that could be mastered in order to get you where you want  to be.

It could be for example that you would just like to learn to play some songs with tabs, or that you would like to get a bit faster in your playing, or even jamming a bit with your musician friends/family...

And the same can be said for professionals, you can have a custom program that's helpful to keep in shape or keep evolving.
Having your work reviewed by your peers, or adding an advanced/rare technique in your own range of skills, sharing ideas and knowledge...
It might save you some precious time of research, and turn it directly into practice instead.

As far as I'm concerned , I still take classes with various private teachers to keep growing.
 

Wether you're a beginner or not.
You want a strong program and structure in your musical routine.
You want to make sure of having all the basics and more for both theory and practice, so you don't miss out on anything.

The Fretboard Memorizer and Tonal Harmony core program is :        
-Name every notes you play anywhere on the fretboard.                        
-Mapping the natural scale, greek modes, arpeggios on the fretboard.
-Practice with extensive shapes and skills for scales/modes/arpeggios.
-Rhythm , Signatures , Subdivisions reading & practice.
-Understand exactly what are Scales,Modes and Keys.
-Learn all about Intervals in music.
-Chord building (Harmonisation by the third).
-Chord Inversions/Extensions & others...
-Chord Progressions (Harmonisation of the scale).
-Chord Cadences (Movements between chords).
-Circle Of Fifths explained in full.
-Modulation in Tonal and/or Modal Music.
-Harmonic Minor Scale study & Others.
-Improvisation over backing tracks.

The way I teach is a modern approach to both theory and practice, always combined together and accessible to anyone, without any prior knowledge or experience.
Everything is explained with tabs, diagrams, pictures, videos, songs... 
I have my own e-books and tabs (guitar pro/PDF) to help you keeping up with my program outside of the classes, which you will be given.

I started teaching music around 2014.I had so many students to grind my program and push it always further, that even though it's still evolving it is now stronger than ever !!!

You want to make your dreams come true.
You are writing your own music, or you would like to get started.
You want to write tabs for your band.
You want to give more depth and details to your songwriting.
You want to start home producing your demos to share your ideas with your bandmates and relatives, to have a firsthand experience or feedback of your songs before hitting the professional music studio... 
Every veteran musician will face that truth eventually, writing and recording your music is the next step.

For this I can help you directly, either by recording you at my own home studio or tabbing your songs for you.
Better than that : I can teach you how to use all the programs you need to write and edit tabs or record songs yourself.

I currently am using Guitar Pro 8 , Logic Pro X, Neural DSP, Ez Drummer2, SSl2+ ,RadialJ48... to write and record my demos.
We can have a look at what you need to get started.
I can help you plan a list of everything you need and in what order to get it so you can build your own setup over time.
Usually there is always a free trial demo for all the apps, so you can try instantly as long as you have an external sound interface, a computer and your instrument.

Please note that I can't help with mixing and mastering regarding music production , only with recording/songwriting.
This is entirely another work for sound engineers.
For this, I can redirect you to some professional music studios I know.

 

Your instrument is your best friend.
You want to make sure it is always in perfect condition.
Together we can give your instrument a treat, and you will learn to do it on your own this way.
I have all the tools and products necessary at my place.
I can make you a list if you want to get yours too.

The Core Maintenance Program includes :
-Restringing & String Care
-Body Cleaning & Body Care
-Fretboard Cleaning & Fretboard  Care
-Fret Polishing
-Truss Rod Adjustments
-Action Settings 
-Floyd Rose Settings
-Guitar Parts Replacements 
-String Gauges & Drop/Down Tunings
-Strap Locks Settings
-Guitar Modifications

If you are a casual player and always play and store your instrument at home, it is not something you have to do very often (I would suggest once per month best case scenario, once per year worst case scenario).

If you are doing rehearsals, shows, touring, studio recordings...
You absolutely have to do it yourself very often (before each one-off gigs, at least once every 2-3 days during touring, and always before and during studio recording).

Being your own guitar tech is gonna save you a lot of money and spare you from bad situations eventually.
Imagine being on stage and something breaks mid-show, because of poor maintenance and care for your instrument...
Yeah, I know the feeling.
Never again.

For serious repair issues, don't do it on your own.Go hire an expert.
 



 

If you haven't met me yet, you'll probably go for a 1h class try-out.
And that is perfectly fine, there is no need to rush things.

However prices are getting better with packs, and the online booking comes with more options then.
So if you are planning on coming back , it might be more interesting for you to get a pack ! 

Prices are as follows:
-1 Hour : ............40€ ...........(without pack)
-5h Pack :.......... 185€ .........(37€/h)
-10h Pack : ........350€..........(35€/h)

You can find the 10h/5h packs in the SHOP section of this website.

Payments must be done via a direct bank transfer (or cash upfront).
Details for payment will be sent via e-mail after you have placed an order on this website.

No one likes last-minute cancellations...
It is sometimes for an urging matter more important than a music class, and you don't have a choice but to cancel.
And I totally get that.

But sometimes it could be a temporary lack of motivation.
Or even a weak organisation with your own agenda.
I know it because I have been a student too ;)

The thing is I can't really decide which is which when I have a last-minute cancellation... And I am losing money as well as time and opportunities to fill your slot in my teaching schedule...
Which is bad for my business.

The usual agreement I have with my students is :
-You can cancel or reprogram (without any fees) if you let me know at least a day prior to the class.
-If you do it twice in a row, I'll have to count the second meeting you missed and get paid for it.
-If you have been a regular student for at least a few months, without any history of cancellation , I will probably not charge you because I can trust that it will not be happening again too often.

On my end, it could happen that I have to make cancellations or reschedule too :
-If I am doing a last minute warning, I usually offer the class that's being reprogrammed, and do not charge the cancelled one (of course).

If you ever need to take a break from music classes and put the meetings on hold, never hesitate to let me know. You can always come back later , you will be always welcome back.
