My first exposure to the guitar came from both my Grandmother and Uncle listening to them play on the Classical guitar and the four string guitar when I was about 12 years old. During High School I discovered some recordings my grandmother had purchased of Chet Atkins playing Classical guitar piece and Larindo Almeida playing a standard Jazz tune. After graduating High School I began learning the guitar on my own. Years later I enrolled in the East Harlem School of Music (Johnny Colon) attending weekly guitar classes and studying Classical guitar privately with Leo Rivera. Years later I enrolled in a Classical guitar program at Julliard. I currently perform with 3 bands playing a variety of genres including Jazz, Gospel, contemporary and R&B music and also produce a Time Warner CTV progra, which features guest vocalist and musicians from the New York City area.
I have been teaching for over 15 years. My methods are inter-active and easy to grasp. My students range from 10 years old up to people in their 70's. Anone can learn to enjoy playing the guitar.
A guitar and a simple note book is all that is needed since much of my lessons are hands on the instrument.
My teaching style is laid back yet very focused. My students enjoy the lessons and look forward to the next session.
