Knowledge, Creativity, Perfection
I’ve been attending Jean’s guitar lessons for about a year now and without doubt it’s been a great investment!

Jean has helped me to better understand music, improve my overall techniques and express my musical ideas – things I have always wanted to do from the moment I picked up the guitar. Before I got to know Jean, I always felt that I was a frustrated musician who had lots of ideas but did not know how to execute them. I had no background in music, I was stuck on the typical scale patterns (this was one of the reasons why I always sounded the same), I had no knowledge of how to organise a guitar practice session when at home, and guesswork was my best friend!
Jean helped to change all this by teaching me how to make the most of my instrument. He provided me with in depth-tips on how and what to practice when playing guitar and he introduced me to musical theory, which, without any doubt, came in handy when I came to analysing or composing music. Most importantly, I learnt how to monitor my own progress as I practiced and played the guitar. Jean has opened my eyes to the extent that I now know where things come from and why I practice certain exercises.
These days I can proudly say that when Iooking at a fret board, I do not see constraints, but, to the contrary I see never-ending possibilities which make sense.
I cannot thank Jean enough for all the help he has given me – he is truly a role model for students and musicians alike! I am confident that he is capable of helping out any aspiring guitarist and sincerely feel privileged to be one of his students.
Thank you Jean!
