Concept
Gitaarles IJburg is an initiative of Frank Weyzig. Frank has gained a wealth of experience in the alternative pop circuit over the past 25 years as a guitarist, keyboard player, composer and producer and is still involved in various music projects.
In addition to his musical activities, Frank also teaches at an MBO school as an ICT teacher. It therefore seems to be a logical step, now that Frank has decided to combine his teaching profession together with his musical background. Thereby offering young and old talent the opportunity to learn to discover the secrets of the guitar…

Method
Frank has not followed any specific musical education and is completely self-taught when it comes to his musical knowledge and skills. Partly because of this and together with his long practical experience, he has developed a completely unique approach of teaching. At the beginning of the course, it is not necessary for students to learn about the notation and the basic theory of the music. Of course later we will also touch this subject…
Like stated before, in contrast to the more traditional teaching approach, which is primarily focused on the basic theory first, we immediately start to familiarize you with the first basic chords, using modern tools such as mp3 players and media like youtube. The main focus here is that you should be able to play your favorite songs of your favorite artists as quickly as possible
Knowledge about music notation and basic music theory is not necessary for you to attend the lessons. During the course, for the most part, chord diagrams are being used to guide you through the lessons. As an extra, at ‘Guitar Lessons IJburg’, a professional studio is available and perhaps what you have learned can also be converted into a personal demo on youtube or on your own website!
