Teaching Philosophy
I belive all students may learn and succeed in performing on a musical instrument. Creating the perfect fit between the student's interest, level and the studyed repertoiry is the first step in establishing a successful learning experience. Over my years of teaching music, I have developped various technics that suit students of all ages and levels. I make sure my students practice rythms, melodies, and finger technics in efficient and different manners.
Musical Education
I am a professional classical guitarist and have been studying music for more than 10 years. Indeed, I have completed a certificate in jazz music at UQÀM university, then I have obtained a college diploma in music at St-Laurent Cegep. More recently, I have finished my bachelor's degree at Montreal's university. This summer, I have obtained my master's degree at the Laval University of Quebec city. I have won the best performance competition during my final master's degree presentation.
Awards and Distinctions
I have participate to international guitar competition on 2016. During my final master's presentation, I won the best performance award.
Special Skills and Trainings
I have developed programs skills to make sound samplings such as Reaper. This samplings can help students with their daily practices. Reaper works to record songs and edit videos in high quality. I know how to improvise in any kind of rhythms like Jazz, Blues, Latin music, South American rhythms and more. I can teach how to sing, how to compose, how to make arrangements and more.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
