I love music. Playing it, learning it and teaching it. My aim as a music teacher is to share the passion that I have for music with you and help you find your own love for it. I will help you learn how to play the guitar and understand chords, the fretboard and the theory of it all so you can create your own music. My goal is to make it fun, interesting and challenging for each and every student. You will be playing the guitar within the first two lessons with me as your teacher. Through practice and a positive attitude, you will find a love and a passion for the guitar that will make you want to practice and improve more through each and every lesson.

Hi!
My name is Felipe and I am a graduate of the University of North Texas where I studied Music Theory and am classically trained at the guitar. I am currently persuing my master's degree at Texas State University. I can play many instruments and love helping others learn how to play and have fun.

My introduction to music was when I got a drum set my sophomore year of high school. I taught myself to play by playing along with my favorite bands like Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins and the Beatles. I started teaching myself to play the guitar two years later during my senior year of high school. Soon after, I learned how to play electric bass, ukulele and mandolin. Since then, I have played in many garage bands and pursued an education in music.

My teaching style is very laid-back. I understand that all students, no matter what age, are different. I don't expect everyone to learn music my way but help to put music in terms that the student understands and feels...

I been playing the guitar professionally for over 20 years. In that time I had the good fortune to perform and record with some really good musicians.

I'm currently a Guitar Teacher for different music schools and have a number of private students as well.

Doing so has given her the opportunity to teach voice to people of all talent levels and all walks of life. She now resides in San Antonio, Texas where she performs at and teaches vocal for Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

I am relaxed, fun, patient, and enjoy sharing my knowledge to spread the joy of what has kept me so very happy. I hope to give my students the same joy to keep their view of life optimistic and continue to see the beauty that the world has to offer through music.
