Welcome to the educational site of guitarist and composer

Jonathan Bratoëff

Hi ! Thanks for popping by! Here is a brief description of my credentials and what I can offer you. Plus, you will find some useful tips in the exercises section.

I have been teaching privately for more than 18 year and have a huge experience in 1 to 1 teaching. With a bit of work from your side       (actually there is no limit, the more the better I’ll say!) I can guarantee that you will improve and get a stronger and fuller musical experience.

Beside private one to one, I have been teaching guitar and composition in various situations ranging from primary schools to advance jazz teaching in summer schools/workshops via rock and pop colleges.
