My name is Daniel M. I'm originally from Valparaiso Chile, I study composition in Berklee College of Music with guitar as my principal instrument. I focus mainly on funk, rock, blues and a a big amount of Latin rhythms (Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia Bachata, etc). Im living currently in Roxbury and im willing to travel if my students can't arrive to my house. I've been teaching guitar for 8 years with great reviews from the beginning since i was playing in school bands so that encouraged me to pursue it as a career from an early stage of my life (16 years old) and i've always had a big passion for the academic world as a hole and i've always seen college as an intellectual hub that i wanted to be a part of.

Though each student gets a lesson plan that is catered to their individual needs, I start everyone off with these three questions: Which musical artists do you listen do? What do you like about their music? What are your goals with taking lessons? I use this information to teach the student how to play some of their favorite songs, how to write similar music, and how to use my lessons as a means of achieving their musical goals I have found that doing so results in faster results, and increased motivation.

I keep my lessons low pressure and laid back. This is a fun hobby for my students and I try to keep it that way! At the same time, I work with the student to set goals to keep them accountable and making progress. I don't make students perform in front of anybody else unless that is a goal of theirs to work towards. Depending on the student's level, having me playing along with them at times is also something I use to help the student feel more comfortable. Read More

Teaching private music lessons to students of all ages and experience levels is a dynamic and rewarding endeavor that requires adaptability and a tailored approach. To begin, I start by assessing each student's individual goals, musical tastes, and prior experience. For beginners, I focus on building a strong foundation in music theory, basic techniques, and instrument proficiency. As students progress, I gradually introduce more complex concepts and repertoire suited to their interests and abilities. Read More

For the younger students that take lessons with me I introduce them to Alfred's Basic Piano Methods. After the child understands the different notes and scales I will begin to introduce simple songs then gradually moving them up to their first guild and recital performance. If my lesson student is an adult however I will often ask what pieces they are interested in learning how to play. Once they tell me I will adjust my lesson plans to help the student reach their goal of learning that song that they wanted to play then encourage them to find harder pieces that they would like to learn how to play.

I first began teaching privately at age 15 when a wealth of younger and older students at my high school took interest in learning how to play the guitar, and write songs. I believe the only way to truly improve is to practice, and to enjoy the process. Learning music is like learning a language, so it is a process of repetition and study. That, however, does not mean it cant be fun! Read More
