The Music School is a guitar-course provider serving locations such as Marseille and Paris, positioning itself around guitar learning with a “real teaching method.” According to the website, its services cover everyone from complete beginners to advanced students. Children can start from age 9, while adults and learners with prior musical experience can enter the appropriate level through an assessment. The courses do not focus only on playing songs; they also include music theory, harmony, improvisation, sight-singing, ear training, and other foundational skills.
Its teaching model is built around staged progression and a skills grid. Courses are divided into beginner, intermediate, and expert levels. At the beginner stage, students start learning pieces from the very first lesson while covering TAB notation, chord diagrams, basic music theory, and rhythm guitar. At the intermediate stage, students are expected to play pieces fully, cleanly, and in time, while deepening their work on rhythmic sight-singing, chords, improvisation, and harmony. The expert level covers melodic and harmonic analysis, scales, modes, arpeggios, chord systems, improvisation over Jazz chord progressions, and sight-reading.
The method is further broken down into four dimensions: right-hand technique, melody, chords, and music theory/sight-singing. This allows students to progress separately according to their strengths and weaknesses, rather than getting stuck on a single rigid path.
Publicly listed pricing includes the online platform at €20/month, billed annually, or included as part of a course package. Private in-home lessons are offered as a 10-lesson card for €300; if the student qualifies for tax deductions, the discounted cost is €150, or about €15 per lesson. However, in-home lessons must also be combined with a subscription to the online platform.
Group classes and intensive workshops are offered in small groups of 4–5 people, with topics including improvisation, blues, and studio recording. Pricing is available on request. The website also offers a free trial lesson.
The main strengths are a relatively clear teaching framework that balances technique, theory, and repertoire goals. The online platform includes a community, learning journal, backing tracks, progress tracking, and exercises, making it useful for reinforcing practice after lessons. Children’s instruction also appears to be specifically adapted.
The limitations are that public information on instructor credentials is limited. Certificates are mentioned, but their external recognition is not clearly explained. The service is highly dependent on the local French market, especially designated districts in Marseille. Some pricing is not fully transparent, and in-home lessons also involve an annual commitment and a required platform subscription.
The Music School is best suited to learners in a French-language environment who want to study guitar systematically, especially people in Marseille who can take in-home lessons. It may also fit learners who already have some foundation but need to address weak areas.
For users in China who simply want to self-study online, the website does not make clear whether the platform provides a complete remote-learning course, and access conditions are unknown, so practical testing would be needed.
