Plucked string instruments for beginners (mandolin, bouzouki, oud, guitar)

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I offer to accompany you in what you wish to practice:
- Discovering the instrument with exercises and warm-ups, right hand techniques (plectrum or mediator) and left hand. I pay particular attention to gesture and posture, to relaxation for comfortable playing and quality sound.
- We can of course learn pieces that you choose, or pieces that I suggest, with or without sheet music.
- I can help develop improvisation if that's something you're interested in.
- Theory in relation to practice, tones, modes, intervals, harmony...
- And others according to demand.


My classes are aimed at beginners as well as more advanced students who want to enrich their palette of expressiveness and musicality. It is important for me to offer caring support and listen to the needs of the student.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I have been a musician for over 20 years and have been teaching for 7 years.
I think that in music it is important to have fun and that it is never too late to start or resume an amateur practice.
My experience as a professional musician and student informs my teaching style.
Passing on knowledge and tools that can help others on their musical path is an activity that I greatly enjoy. I teach within the framework of a caring support that listens to the needs of the student.

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I obtained a master's degree in musicology specializing in medieval music at the Paul Valéry University of Montpellier and a CEM in classical harp and musical training at the Montpellier Conservatory.
I have participated in various courses, workshops and master classes with various teachers at Labyrinth Musical Workshop and IIMM.
I am currently studying the oud at the National Conservatory of Rabat.

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I have experience as a professional musician and as a music teacher for five years.
I had many students and I had the opportunity to play in various groups and participate in recordings.
My experience has allowed me over time to refine my lessons and my way of teaching, and even if I am always learning, I strive to find a balance between the technical progression of my students and the pleasure of playing.

Excellent first lesson and first steps on the oud :-)
Mona is an exceptionally pedagogical teacher, capable of transmitting her musical universe with rare finesse and deep sensitivity. As a complete beginner, without any knowledge of music theory, I feel perfectly supported by her caring and adapted approach. She knows how to guide step by step, respecting the pace and needs of each person, regardless of their background or prior knowledge. Her teaching is a real privilege for anyone wishing to learn music in a setting that is both rigorous and warm.

Teacher, nice but the content of the course is not what I had hoped for, so a little disappointed.

A qualified musician, I offer harp lessons. I offer to support the student in what he or she wishes to practice: discovering the instrument, deciphering scores with the instrument, learning pieces of his or her choice, improvisation. We can also work on music theory and solfege while practicing the instrument. I can also work by ear and without sheet music. For harpists who are already practicing, I offer playing embellishment techniques, ornaments and improvisation techniques, particularly in traditional and ancient styles.

* Learn your favourite songs * Learn musicianship skills * Learn techniques such as strumming, plectrum, and fingerpicking * Learn to improvise * Flexible and student-centred approach * Lessons tailored to the student's interests * Option to take grade exams * All styles and abilities welcome I teach Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Mandolin, Ukulele, Guitar Theory and Songwriting I am a professional musician and have performed at Barbican Centre, South Bank Centre, Royal Albert Hall and live on the BBC. My music has been aired on the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky and other media worldwide. I have taught guitar for over 15 years. I trained with The DaCapo Music Foundation where I was a Senior Teacher and Mentor. I currently teach privately and at Christchurch School, Chelsea. I hold a First Class BA Honours in Music and have an up-to-date DBS Certificate. “An artist to watch” BBC London
 “I’m really loving the feels of that” BBC Introducing “Filled with delicate nuances” Folk Radio TESTIMONIALS: "My son has had Josh as a guitar tutor for 6 years. I can highly recommend him. He has a fantastic manner and rapport with his students. He is an exceptionally skilled guitar player and tutor. My son has made phenomenal progress with Josh and has enjoyed working with Josh towards his Trinity Grades in classical guitar. In addition, Josh has motivated my son to compose his own music - with fabulous results." Amanda "Josh is very talented. He is flexible about what we play and finds things that suit my ability. He creates a fun environment to learn." Arthur, aged 14 "Josh has been teaching my son electric and electro-acoustic guitar for a year. His stimulating and relaxed approach means that I find my son plays his guitar on a daily basis just because he enjoys it, yet he is still covering quite a lot of technical stuff." Polly "My 12-year old daughter has been taking guitar classes with Joshua Geffin for over a year now. Previously she tried a couple of different instruments and music teachers but even though she is very musical and loves music, she would get bored and lose interest after a while. Josh’s inspirational and creative approach to teaching changed all this. She became passionate about playing her guitar, singing and writing her own music. Practicing is no longer a chore but fun and she looks forward to her class every week. In a relatively short period she made remarkable progress and has recently won a full music scholarship at Kingsdale." Duska "I took up the guitar in my 30s and am far from a natural musician! I’ve had a few teachers – all brilliant guitarists - but none have quite combined the same high level of patience, encouragement and flexibility as Josh. He let’s me play music I love and progress at my own pace. As a ‘mature’ student with an incredibly busy job, it is important that I don’t feel under pressure if I haven’t played between lessons. Josh is completely understanding of this and the fact that he teaches at my home is a massive bonus. He is a natural and talented teacher and I would not hesitate to recommend his lessons to anyone of any level." Jeanette "I have been having lessons with Josh for around 2 years now. He has really helped develop and improve the quality of my playing and also my appreciation of music as a whole and I am very happy with my progress. The lessons are always relaxed and enjoyable, but also professional with a focus and tailor-made according to my own personal goals, which I like. I prefer to concentrate on learning songs and to experiment with a variety of genres. Josh helps me do that and he keeps things fun by mixing in improvisation sessions and technique development to bring me on and help me improve as a player." Pete

The guitar lessons are partly theory and partly practice. During the first guitar lesson I first look at the starting level. This is different for each guitar student. You can follow guitar lessons for both the acoustic guitar and the electric guitar. With electric guitar lessons, developing your own sound using guitar effects is also part of the guitar lesson.
