Pierre Jonker Electric Guitar Lessons in Utrecht

Guitar Lessons at your Home in Utrecht

Are you just starting to play guitar? Or are you more advanced and want to improve your technique, getting inspiration from an experienced and enthusiastic teacher? I am Pierre Jonker and besides performing I enjoy giving guitar lessons.

Home studio in Hoograven

I have different electric and acoustic guitars in my home studio in Hoograven, Utrecht, where the lessons are given. There’s free parking in front of the house! It’s also possible to have lessons at your home!

Trial lesson

The trial lesson is the perfect opportunity to get to know each other and discuss your goals and wishes. You will get an impression of the lesson location and we will discuss the lesson times, the convenience of the strip cards, your guitar and gear, your favourite guitarists and types of music, etc.

My Favourites!

Personally, I get my inspiration from listening to a.o Steely Dan, Queen, Peter Bernstein, Jim Hall and Metallica.

Rent or buy?

If you don’t have your own guitar yet, you can borrow one of mine for the trial lesson, and I will help you find a good one to buy when you’re ready.

Jazz - Pop - Rock - Songwriter

The lessons are about the kind of music you want to play, whether it’s your own songs, the latest hits or jazz standards! Practical tips will help you improve.

Beginners

We’ll make a tailor-made lesson plan based on what you want to learn. You’ll work on building good basic technique and we’ll spend time on chord knowledge, tabs, fingerstyle, playing solos, comping, improvisation and some theory.

Advanced

You’ll start getting more out of your technique and will notice that you’re playing smoother and with more feeling. I am very versatile and I’d like to guide you to deepen and develop in all styles.

Playing together - Improvisation

We’ll play together in the lessons and I give you clear instructions on Blues, Jazz , Rock, Metal or Pop. Improvisation can be part of the lessons. As a result you’ll develop your musical skills, listen better to other musicians and play more freely and communicatively.

Record yourself

Do you want to learn how to make your own recordings using a program like Logic? I can teach you the basics and when you’re ready for more we can dive in!

Lesson Cards

Busy with work or school and prefer to plan your lesson flexibly? That’s easy with the 10-lesson card!

About Pierre

I studied guitar at the Conservatory in Utrecht with Eef Albers. My love for jazz grew during my studies. I had lessons from Onno Kelk and Peter Bernstein. I now play in various bands and perform regularly during festivals and concerts. Besides the Roseland Quartet I play in jazz duo PierreRoos and jazz rock band Steely Fan.

Toffe gast!

Pierre is een toffe gast en geeft erg prettige lessen. Na een aantal andere instrumenten bespeeld te hebben wou ik graag de gitaar uitproberen. Voor Pierre maakt je niveau niet uit; hij kijkt samen met je mee wat je al kan en pakt het vanaf daar op. Pierre is ontzettend flexibel als het gaat om het lessenrooster en de sporadische uitloop van een les wordt niet naar om gekeken. Zijn lessen gaan vooral over de soul en feeling van het gitaarspel; het mooi spelen, een akkoord leren kan je immers gewoon van YouTube. Natuurlijk behandelt hij ook techniek en al het andere wat je wilt weten. Verwacht niet dat Pierre met een vaste lesmethode uit een 'Gitaar voor dummies' boekje aankomt. Tot nu toe nog geen enkele keer met tegenzin naar de lessen gegaan. Sterker nog: ik vertrok altijd weer met een glimlach.
