Guitar Lessons in Franklin, MA

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar French Horn

I began teaching as soon as I could. My dad held piano lessons out of our house and inspired me to teach guitar (the only instrument my dad wasn't terribly good at). I also taught trumpet, French horn and piano throughout high school. When I got to college, no one at Berklee really needed lessons in instruments anymore, however, I spent a lot of time tutoring kids in Music Theory, Arranging and other more technical aspects of music.

I am a hard-working and nurturing instructor who enjoys working with students and helping them find their own musical voice. Being born in Dubai, UAE to a Colombian/Indian background, I have always had the opportunity to be around many different cultures and enjoyed learning from them in many different ways.

My curriculum is entirely driven by the students needs. I don't believe that one blanket method works for all individuals. Therefore, I spend the early lessons getting to know the student and designing the layout for our lessons moving forward. There are definitely certain books that I have used to assist with teaching. These books are dependant on the level of the student. Some of these books are Ted Green's "Chord Chemistry", "Rythms Complete" by Bugs Bower, and the Hal Leonard guitar method books. Read More

I thought about teaching math to children or teaching music. I decided on the second and when I told another group of coworkers, they voluntarily bought the Cuatros (Venezuelan Guitar) so that every child in the refuge had their new toy: a Venezuelan musical instrument.
