Welcome to Instrupair’s music courses

My name is Pieter van Heerden, a music teacher with a B.Mus music degree. I teach guitar to young learners aged 5 – 9 year for several years now and now started with online music courses. My experience in this area inspired me to create these unique guitar courses aimed at helping children aged 5-9 years to learn the guitar in a developmentally appropriate way. I have small children of my own and know how difficult it is to keep them focused in a guitar lesson. Therefore the material is conveyed in a fun and interactive way, helping the children understand the content better. They will learn to play songs that most children and adults know and enjoy, using a few basic chords. I also specifically talk to parents, explaining how they can help children master these techniques at home. These courses are offered in both Afrikaans and English. I believe that this course will help your child to start playing the guitar successfully and enjoy music for now and in the future.

What the parents say!

My kind het hierdie musieklesse baie geniet. Hy het verstaan wat sy vingers moet doen en sommer self gesit en oefen! Dit was regtig die moeite werd.

Lessons were easy to follow. My son is 5 years old and he understood the lesson. The backtrack with each song makes for much enjoyment. I recommend this course to anyone with enthusiastic little guitar players
