SOUND MUSIC LESSONS

WELCOME

Experience has taught me that anyone can learn to play their favorite songs, to improvise, to create, and to hone their skills regardless of level or age.

With a vast amount of online resources nowadays it’s easier than ever to learn to play. It is also just as easy to get lost in the noise. The learning process is about consistency over time and I still believe there is no substitute for an experienced private teacher.

Someone with the ability to listen to and observe your playing up close, to clarify what you want to achieve, and to create a customised practice routine tailored to your individual needs. Accompanying you every step of the way..

Lessons are fun, pressure free, and focused on your own personal needs. All levels and ages are welcome. I have helped hundreds of students achieve their goals, from beginner children and adults through to seasoned players seeking to fill specific gaps in their knowledge.

WHY COME TO ME ?

Head to the About Me section for more info.

Each persons needs will vary from the enjoyment of being able to play those songs you've always wanted to learn to rigorous practice routines aimed at achieving specific goals. The focus is always on you the student. Getting to know you and your own musical tastes rather than pushing my own is essential to yield the best results and get the most out of the learning process. I can help you demystify the guitar, bass guitar, applied music theory, music production & songwriting in a clear yet thorough way.

This first trial lesson is free and it’s purpose is to discuss your goals and for me to assess your technique and general level.

It is also for me to find out a bit about you, the music you like to listen to, the music you’d like to play and any previous experiences with any form of music tuition, self taught or otherwise so as to steer the lessons in the appropriate direction.

HOW DO THE ONLINE LESSONS WORK ?

Up until recently a lot of people would have considered it a bad idea to take online music lessons. But the truth is it’s just as good as being in person and, in many ways, even better. You get to learn from the comfort of your own home, wasting no time in transport hassles with a teacher who is entirely focused on you. All lesson files, sheet music and practice exercises are sent straight to your email and the lessons can even be filmed so you receive an actual video of any current material to accompany you until the next lesson.

"Harry is a great help to me we have been working together for several years now. beyond his natural sympathy, he is talented and knows how to demonstrate great teaching skills. Together, we cover may topics ranging from music theory to stage coaching."

Cyril, 40 (Electronic Music Producer)

“I've been taking weekly acoustic guitar lessons with Harry since 2021. I tried out a number of courses before sticking with Harry. Harry adapts to my learning pace. I appreciate his availability and his attention to my requests. I was a total beginner and with his help, pedagogy and patience (often 😊), I'm making progress and really enjoying learning to play the guitar.”

Carole, 58 (Social Management Controller)

"Very motivating bass lessons with Harry. Harry adapts superbly to my needs and pushes me to progress at my own pace."

Manfred, 39 (Stage Manager)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent guitar teacher!

"I've been taking lessons with Harry for 3 years now, I was starting from very far from zero, no technique, no musical knowledge ... Thanks to Harry, I quickly gained confidence and made progress.

He's very pedagogical, patient, takes the time to explain each technique clearly and knows how to adapt to my level and my objectives. I learn at my own pace, without stress.Every lesson is a real pleasure.Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, I highly recommend Harry for learning guitar in a motivating and caring atmosphere!"

Florence, 50 (Hotel Manager)

"My son Thimoté, aged 14, has been taking lessons with Harry for over 3 years now. He's an exceptional guitar teacher, highly competent, with outstanding professionalism, rigorous pedagogy and extreme kindness."

Thimoté, 14 (Student)

"At over 60 and a long-time guitarist, I've known many guitar teachers. But none of them taught me as much as Harry did in three years. Thanks to him, I've been able to sing along, even on difficult pieces (Bowie, Springsteen, Pink Floyd), something I'd never been able to do before. A demanding, rigorous but empathetic teacher, Harry's pedagogical methods and patience always manage to unblock the blocks that never fail to occur when learning. He has taught me a lot about rhythm, harmony and two-hand technique. My only regret is that I didn't cross paths with him sooner!"

François, 62 (Doctor)

“Fantastic lessons, everything you need to learn music the right way!”

Raphaël, 18 (Student)

"I’ve been taking guitar lessons from Harry Brown for over a year and a half now and greatly appreciate his teaching abilities in conveying key concepts of guitar music theory, as well as his patience with my shortcomings. I’m self taught and have been struggling for years to lift my playing to the next level. He makes our lessons enjoyable by progressively mixing theory, finger exercises and learning varied musical songs of my choice

He has a keen eye and sharp ear and I like the way he picks apart the many bad habits that I accumulated over the years. I feel that Harry’s lessons have really improved both my appreciations of music theory and my playing. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to really understand guitar and improve their playing."

Steve, 64 (Engineer)

"Harry has been teaching me guitar but, above all, the art of music for nearly 10 years now. He's very dynamic and lively. The best for me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. Now, thanks to the techniques he has taught me and helped me discover, music has become a passion and I find myself writing original material."

Mael, 16 (Student)
