Kids, teens and adults, on any kind of guitar

Hi, I'm Joni, nice to meet you!

I'm Jonathan, but everyone calls me Joni.

I'm a guitarist and guitar teacher. I've been playing in different bands for years, I studied at the Rimon School of Music, and today I also teach at the MyTone music school in Netanya.

In my lessons, the first thing I care about is getting to know my students: what they like to listen to, what they dream of playing and where they want to get to.

From there we build a path together that mixes technique, music knowledge and lots of playing, at a pace that suits each person.

For me, what matters most is that you leave every lesson with something new under your fingers and the urge to keep playing.

It's never too early or too late to start playing

  • Kids

    Does your child never stop talking about guitar? Or maybe you're looking for a new hobby for them? In lessons we'll learn to play, build a sense of rhythm and self-confidence, and most importantly, do it for fun and without pressure.

    Lessons for my child
  • Teens

    Is there a song you're dying to play? A band you can't stop listening to? We'll start from the music you love, and build from there with everything you need to become a better player.

    Lessons for teens
  • Adults

    Always wanted to learn guitar, but somehow it never happened? It's really not too late. Whether you're starting from zero or coming back after years, we'll go at your pace and enjoy the ride.

    Lessons for adults

So how do we start?

  1. Get in touch

    Send me a WhatsApp message and tell me a bit about yourself, your playing experience and what you'd like to learn.

  2. Book a lesson

    We find a day and time that works for both of us, and book our first lesson.

  3. Start playing!

    We meet for the lesson at my home in Ramat HaSharon. We'll get to know each other, play, and build a plan together that fits your level and goals.

Frequently asked questions

I've never played guitar. Can I start from zero?

Of course! You don't need any experience. We'll start from the basics, move at your pace, and little by little get to the songs you love.

From what age can you start?

I teach kids from age 6, teens and adults. Every age has its own way and pace, and the lessons are adapted to it.

Do I need my own guitar?

In the first lesson you can use my guitar. After that it's a good idea to have a guitar at home so you can practice between lessons. If you're not sure which guitar to buy, I'm happy to help you choose.

How long is a lesson?

A private lesson is 45 minutes, and we focus on playing, technique and whatever matters to you.

Where are the lessons?

At my home in Ramat HaSharon, in a calm, pleasant atmosphere, with everything you need to learn and play.

What styles can I learn?

Rock, pop, blues, metal and more. I like to make room for your musical taste, so we can also learn through the songs and artists you love.

Do I need to read sheet music?

Not at all! You don't need to know notation or music theory. We'll learn what's needed as we play, in a simple, clear way.

How soon will I be able to play songs?

It varies from person to person, and it also depends on how much you practice at home. But from the very first lessons we'll start working on things you can play yourself.

What if I already have some playing experience?

Great! The lessons aren't only for beginners. We can work on technique, improvisation, music theory or anything else you'd like to strengthen.

Do I have to commit to regular lessons?

You can start with a first lesson, get to know each other and see how it goes. From there we'll decide together on the best way to continue.
