Classical Guitar Lessons in Visitacion Valley. Amazing Teachers.

Classical style is a bedrock for many other styles. We will learn standard repertoire, or you can request your favorites. You can choose to learn by ear, notation, tab, or some combination of these. I enjoy giving music lessons, and look forward to meeting you.

Learn to play great classical guitar repertoire -- Bach, Scarlatti, Sor, Villa-Lobos and more while improving plucking technique through Giuliani's exercises and strengthening finger agility through Segovia's diatonic major and minor scale exercises.
