As a private guitar teacher I enjoy working with students of all ages who have an interest in learning to play the guitar.  My instructional method is to interweave music theory with the specific interests of the student, so as to engage the student while also teaching them valuable skills that will expand their future musical possibilities.  For more information please contact me at: alexbelhaj@gmail.com

Upcoming Shows

When: SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 4-8pm Where: Vámonos! 4444 W. Vernor, Detroit What: Queer Square Dancing + Potluck w/Lindsay McCaw calling, Aaron Jonah Lewis on fiddle, Alex Belhaj on guitar, Rachel Pearson on bass, and special mystery guests sitting in (If you want to be a special mystery guest send Aaron a direct message.) Bring: Potluck foods with serving utensils, bring a bunch of friends and wear comfy shoes for dancing! (Dancing is optional, too -- it's 100% ok to hang out, eat, drink, enjoy the scene and socialize without dancing.) Parking: There are two free parking lots behind the space plus street parking $20 suggested donation -- If you don't have $20 we still want you to come in and join the party! If you can pay more than $20 please do, it helps a lot. Pay whatever you can. Cash bar As always: - All ages welcome - No one turned away for lack of funds - No experience necessary, all dances will be taught - No partner needed, no fancy outfits needed (though you're welcome to dress up however you like) "Why a queer square dance and not just a square dance?" We use gender inclusive language and we don't enforce any dress codes or other gender norms. We promote a culture of acceptance and discourage homophobia at our events. Everyone is welcome to attend, except for bigots and haters! Please note: We are creating a queer space where we can come together and celebrate each other’s unique expressions and experiences in community. Bring your open and welcoming hearts and keep respect and kindness in mind as you may see people expressing themselves freely!
