I have been teaching classical, acoustic and electric guitar for about 5 years to people of various ages, from children to adults. That's why in these years I learned how to adapt to different students, needs and musical tastes.

Lessons can be in English or Italian, I speak some German but still to little to give a lesson.

I Have develop a teaching method that can quickly develop a complete beginner with no musical experience to be able to Play Dobro. Though every individual has a varied aptitude to the process, my system allows for development appropriate to that students abilities.

Hi, I'm Gavin and i love teaching musicians young and old to develop their abilities and competency in music. Guitar is my first Instrument but i have developed a significant amount of work playing a Slide Guitar. Primarily on an instrument most commonly referred to and Dobro, its actually called a Resonophonic Square Neck Guitar. I have been playing music for nearly 34 years. I have been successfully teaching students a variety of slide styles and instruments for 15 years.

I provide tuition that focuses on the Students needs, ability. Understanding what a student needs from a lesson may sound obvious, but its common for tutors to teach what they, as tutor 'want' to teach, and that is not necessarily what the student needs or within their abilities. I offer Students an opportunity to define their direction of study. If learning to read and write music is of interest i would recommend it. But its not essential.

My approach will vary depending on the student's level, goals and age. You might be an absolute beginner and I'll teach you about the guitar in an interesting and motivational way, focusing on the kind of music you like. You might know a lot about guitar already and be interested in learning how to improvise, or how to compose, or arrange something for your band, or transcribe a song you like be hear. I can help you with all that!

On every lesson there will be homework, things to practice for the following week. Learning an instrument is really 10% lessons and 90% practicing at home what you learned in the lessons.

As a teacher my approach is to help a student uncover his/her own potential and help him/her to develop an unique style.
I am focusing much more on playing together, learning to listen to each other, developing a good ear, rather then mindlessly repeating practicing patterns.

If you take a guitar lesson, what you usually learn is C, D G chords and A minor pentatonic scale and dorian...something like that.
It's good but most of the time those music skills are too confusing to output or apply to your own music and It's really hard to even memorize them. The reason why is you never learn the essential character of the notes and nice ways of lining them in chord progressions.

In my lesson, I will give you some nice ideas of making your music sound cool!

・Beginner level:

How to play songs with easy chords and notes.
How to enjoy playing the guitar.
Know the difference between what you need to know and don't need to know when you play the guitar in the beginning.
General and unique ideas for practicing alone.

・Intermediate level:

How to strum the strings accurately to make your sound more clear, create the groove, playing solos in tempo.
Know more sophisticated chords and progression of songs.
Improvise on basic Blues chord progressions.

・Advance level:

How to improvise on Blues Jazz, Jazz and Funk music in more academic ways by paying attention to chords and scales you can use in the song.
Learn the scales and how to apply them in songs.
Learn about music theory.

It's always depending on the student and their age and their music taste.
We listen to music, not just mechanically play it over. I teach my students how to like what they do, not just play the songs from the paper in front of them.

- Notes & reading
- Tabs
- Basic rhythmical theory (writing rhythms, recognizing, clapping)
- Basic music theory
- Chords and arrangement

Diese Kurse eignen sich auch hervorragend für klassische Musiker, die daran interessiert sind, Jazzharmonie, Improvisationstechniken zu erlernen und ihr musikalisches Potenzial freizusetzen

Harlan's teaching focus on the development of all the necessary tools that will allow the student to gain access to the realm of jazz improvisation in a meaningful and unique way.

Chester Harlan studied improvisation with great musicians and instructors such as Hal Crook, Ed Tomassi, Mick Goodrick and John Abercrombie, and also composition in Paris with Jean-Michel Bardez. He also prepares the students for the Berklee College of Music audition.
