In the basis of 1 or 2 years, the student is familiarized with the guitar in the form of a good posture, different strumming techniques, learns to play the entire fretboard/neck, learns to play from sheet music and gets acquainted with various music styles.
Which guitar is suitable for me?
This is always best discussed during a trial lesson or during the period when the students are developing themselves in the direction of a certain music style.
As acoustic guitars go, there are two main categories: the nylon string guitars and the steel string guitars, each with their variations.
In the group of electric guitars, beside ‘the plank’ there is also the semi acoustic versions, always in combination with an amplifier.
What are the costs of a guitar?
At a minimum price of 150 euros, you can buy a well-playing instrument that sounds good. At the start, a second-hand guitar might be a good option since a good instrument can mostly be bought for half the price. It is always fun to purchase a new, ‘better’ guitar every few years. It motivates and invites you to play it more often.
Is the customer always right?
Naturally I give every student different lessons fitting with their talents and development but I also consider it my task to acquaintance the student with different forms of music. Free choice: yes, but then I strive to create a wide range to choose from. It is always a beautiful result when students find the music that fits them like a glove. Check out the testimonials where some of my former students give their opinion.
