Fingerstyle guitar for beginners and intermediates

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 !!

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 !!
Do you want to play your favorite song on guitar? In other words, do you want to start playing harmonica? Then you are at the right place. There is no age to start. young and old can come to me! My motivation is to help the student achieve his goal. Whatever it is. You can expect a patient, friendly approach from me. This means: I provide individual assistance to each student, with the necessary finesse. Specifically what you need to make progress. You will get the basics, but in a fun way! The different techniques will be dealt with during the course.
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.

She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Dutch conversation for kids and adults, to read, to write and understand the language.
In our class we will be relaxed, I will help you with the Dutch conversation, the grammar, reading (like an article or a topic what I will give you). I will help students for beginners-lower-intermediate level. After every lesson I will give you homework for the next lesson. Between the two lessons you can always ask me a question about the subject what we’ve discussed. If you have a subject what you’d like to learn about the Dutch language, let me know. I’m looking forward to see you in my class.

Marcel
Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)
I use several methods which are specially conceived to teach Dutch to people who have a different mother tongue. I really like to use methods out of the ordinary like role games or methods with which you learn while playing. All these adapted to the student's situation of course. As I learned myself a couple of other languages, it is easy for me to detect difficulties a student can encounter and adapt the way of learning. I can teach in English, French, German and Russian.

Rosemarie

Dutch lesson for teenagers & adults adjusted to your needs as a student!
Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina
