Instruments: Guitar Drums Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My approach is focused very much on performance, technicalities, and theory. I believe it is very important for the student to understand how these aspects of playing coincide with each other, and how they are equally essential to music playing. Before giving a student a piece of music to play, I will always play it befoehand and dissect the song into portions that I feel need special attention. I encourage playing with other musicians, and always try to teach the art ofimprovisation, so that the students can learn to play not only by themselves, but with other musicians, using the musicial understanding that it takes to improvise.

I always adapt my teaching to each student. I do not believe in general systems for everyone. Sometimes my students want to have a repertory as exclusive as possible. Also, as a teacher, I have to reinvent myself in order to maintain always burning and bright the light of the motivation and enthusiasm. This is especially important when you have a student with special needs. Then you have to be even more creative, and stimulating. Read More

For beginning students, I teach them the basics first, and then simple and fun pieces that they can master.  For intermediate students, I start them on method books and more advanced techniques.  With advanced students, I help them refine their playing and personalize each piece that they learn. This makes it far more enjoyable for The student, as well as more relevant. I know that this relevance is what keeps students interested and playing their instruments in the long term, whether recreationally or professionally. Read More
