Learn how to play guitar

Schrijf je  Here for the lessons.

Tailor-made lessons
Whether you take group lessons or prefer private lessons, they are tailored to your profile.

The lessons follow a clear and logical structure, with your prior knowledge, pace and learning style taken into account.

Group or Private
At POORTER you choose how you want to learn. Group lessons are preferred by those who want to play together and who want to learn from each other by exchanging tips & tricks.

In a private lesson there is more time to work on specific topics you want to learn. Click Here for more info concerning fees.

Beginners and advanced
Guitarists of all levels are welcome. Both absolute beginners and advanced, and every level in between.

Good to know: if you choose group lessons, you will always be placed in a group of people who play guitar at your level. During a trial lesson, we take a look at what level fits you best.

Structured Course
At POORTER you learn much more than just how to play some nice songs.

Through a structured series of lessons you will gain insight into your instrument and you will learn all you need to know about the techniques and music theory, necessary to master the guitar. So in the end ... you won't need a teacher ever again 😊.

Reading notes is not necessary
Don't know how to read notes? No problem. At POORTER you don't need them.

Everything is explained with easy-to-read tablature of songs you like. I bet you will learn a lot more this way?

All music styles
At POORTER you can study many different music genres ... both in group as private lessons.

Of course rock and pop are on the menu, but also roots genres such as swing jazz, manouche, blues, country and bluegrass.

Reviews

WILLEM (BERELDANGE – LU)

5 sterren! Tom is een sympathieke, intelligente leraar die in zijn gitaarlessen fantastische uitleggen geeft en zijn leerlingen aan een grote hoeveelheid genres blootlegt.

JAN BOUDREZ (WELDEN – BE)

“Hereby I want to to thank you for the great lessons: excellent preparation, content, form and homework. They were interesting, educational and with a nice touch on top. What really helped me a lot were the fundamentals about music theory. Enough to keep me busy for years to come! ”

CHESNEY VERMEULEN (EEKLO – BE)

Thank you again for the instructive lessons! A second edition of the Blues workshop would be great! (…) ”

STEPHAN KIEBOOM (ZEELAND – NL)

“Thank you again for your enthusiastic way of teaching! You were tireless, even now when the lessons have already ended. They were also an inspiration with all the music examples you gave! (…) You've shown all the possibilities on guitar and that motivates me for the future to come. If you ever teach your Blues Workshop in the Netherlands ... please let me know!

JOHAN VAN DE WIELE (MALDEGEM – BE)

“I've learned a lot from your lessons, especially the alternate chords in the blues songs we saw. I will definitely be able to boost my level with this. I also found the scales you taught very interesting and useful (even though I almost exclusively play rhythm guitar). Thanks again for the lessons!”
