Hello! My name is Raphael. I am a passionate guitarist. Since the age of six I have been involved with music. Singing lead me to learn guitar. For the past ten years I have been performing with various bands in Colorado and Minnesota. I continue to take guitar lessons and sharpen my teaching skills. I have created, compiled ad produced a CD of my original music. I consider myself more of an inspirational mentor than a teacher. During our initial meeting I work with the individual to clarify his or her personal goals which includes the guitar. Understanding the student’s motivation greatly enhances his or her state of being happy, healthy and successful. We may revisit the goals as needed. My playing experience and vast knowledge of music material and aides will be utilized to match appropriate expediting goal achievements Opportunities to learn sight reading and how to memorize, as well as, develop skills in song writing and improvisation. Students are encouraged to bring his or her own material. Ample time and direction can be given to prepare for any type of performances. Bottom line is that my demeanor is of encouragement with a wholesome approach to life with your guitar.
