Program

The guitar lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced in Lausanne, Switzerland are designed to help young people of all levels.

For a beginner, our method teaches the basics of the guitar in a musical way, focusing on right hand rhythmic setup and left hand dexterity (if the student is right-handed). Students will be guided in learning basic chords, playing techniques and reading musical scores. The goal of the course is to enable students to play simple pieces quickly and enjoyably, while exploring music theory in a fun and interesting way. Lessons are tailored to the needs and goals of each student to ensure optimal learning. 

In addition to lessons for beginners, our program also offers options for intermediate and advanced students. For intermediate guitarists, practice and curiosity are essential to progress, so as not to fall into the trap of redundant playing reflexes. By regularly working on new chords, techniques and songs, guitarists can improve their technique and musicality. It's also important to focus on different styles of music to broaden your musical palette and become a more versatile guitarist. To do this, intermediate guitarists can benefit from private lessons that allow them to receive personalized guidance and work on their specific weaknesses. This can help accelerate their progress and bring them closer to their goal of becoming an accomplished guitarist.

For advanced guitarists, playing music should be a challenging and rewarding experience. Beyond simply strumming strings, an understanding of music theory and theory can help one to better understand how chords and melodies work together, to explore the world of songwriting for example. Advanced guitarists should also explore different genres of music to expand their repertoire and technique. While working to develop their skills, it is important that advanced guitarists continue to find joy in their practice, constantly seeking new challenges and striving to become more complete musicians.

In short, our lessons are customized to best meet the needs and goals of each student, regardless of their level. Our teaching is designed to help students reach their full musical potential on the guitar, and beyond!

Objectives and skills

Guitar lessons focus on the study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony and rhythm. This study is done through pieces of music of various styles, chosen according to the tastes of the student(s), in order to correspond to their desires and desires. Students will also learn the maintenance and structure of their instrument, as well as the reading of tablature and classical scores.

Concerning this last point, it is important to specify that at Apolline's, the music theory is integrated into the instrument course, sparingly and in a manner consistent with the subject studied by the child. In this way, theory sticks to practice and becomes digestible and interesting. To learn more about this subject, see our article on music theory lessons.

Learning music with Apolline

How do you get out of the usually rigid framework of the early years of musical learning found in most schools in Switzerland? 

Based in Lausanne, Apolline has a different philosophy. Rather than offering children and teenagers the opportunity to learn in individual lessons, the emphasis is on small group lessons - of 2 or even 3 students, depending on the instrument. This group work will encourage listening, playing with others, improvisation, as well as a sense of musical sharing. The students will progress technically, while having the pleasure of playing music. The extra motivation generated by learning and progressing together is an important driving force.

The groups are always formed according to the age and level of competence of the students, in order to allow a coherent exchange and dynamic progression. For more information, see our article on private VS semi-private music lessons.

Apolline offers its students the possibility of integrating a music band workshop, in addition to the basic instrument course, to allow them to play with other musicians of their own age. Accompanied by a teacher, they will learn to play in a group, through covers or their own compositions.
