Very pleasant first hour. I immediately felt at ease with Rik. As a beginner, I was well guided during that first introduction. I'm already looking forward to the next lesson. Rik made me want more.

For playing blues on the harmonica, you will be needing a 10-Hole DIATONIC harmonica in the key of C. We start with holding the harmonica rightfully in your hand and in the mouth. Then we will be playing our first pure, single note. And then gradually playing them all over the instrument. Then it is time for learning the basic 12 bar blues progression. This will help you to start to play your favourite bluestunes, but also start your own tunes. In the course , you will also be able to learn the important technique: Bending. This is an integral part of bluesharmonica. I will show you exactly how to do that. And a lots of other techniques. But, most of all, you will have a la of fun. You will have much joy !!
Strumming The GUITAR has it’s own right place. But when learning the fingerstyle, it opens a wide variety of very beautiful melodies . Because you play as an orchestra. What do we mean by this? Well, in the beginning we will be learning several basslines with the thumb in combination with the melody. So, you play both the rhythm and the melody together. I am also going to give you an amazing formula which you van use to build your own FINGERPICKING patterns as you practice. This course is both for the beginner and intermediate student. Those already know some chords, can receive help modify them so that you can adjust to a song and integrate the melody into the chordshape. It is a most interesting course open for everyone !!
Learning to play the piano is very enjoyable. I will take you through the basic elements (all notes, chords, scale, etc...) to playing your first song. This doesn't have to take too long. And also further, such as improvising, for more advanced people. I teach Blues and boogie woogie. Individual help guaranteed! And don't forget the fun. Greetings, Rick
The student starts by holding the harmonica correctly, which is a diatonic in the key of G (sol). Then he / she learns to play a pure note, and to master the distances between the different holes. The C scale is also studied. Learn to play in 1st position, then in 2nd position. A simple song is taught. Then some basic techniques, such as: thrills, sliding and bending. 10 lessons are enough to have a good foundation.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

Guitar workshops: personalized lessons / private training
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.
