About

I'm a professional jazz guitarist in New York City, originally from Switzerland, with a Master's degree in Music Pedagogy. I have been teaching privately and in music schools since 2012 and have a lot of experience working with children as well as adults. I love teaching jazz and improvisation, but also other styles like Latin, Funk, Blues, and classical guitar (I've had many years of training as a classical guitarist before getting into jazz).

What you'll learn:

Tools:

- Fretboard overview

- Scales

- Arpeggios

- chords/voicings ranging from easy to crazy hard

- reading music

- ear training

- music theory

- composition

Techniques:

- right hand with pick: alternate picking, sweep picking, hybrid picking (with pick and fingers)

- right hand without pick: Fingerstyle, patterns for song accompaniment, strumming

- left hand: hammer-on, pull-off, legato, bendings, tapping

- developing an awareness for and control over your sound on the instrument

Practice:

Most important of all, apply the above tools and techniques to make music with them. Different areas of application are e.g. improvisation, accompaniment, playing in a band, composition.
