A major priority of my guitar teaching is to have students making expressive music every time they touch the instrument.

I begin by working on tone production on the open strings of the guitar, so that students are able to produce a full, beautiful tone on the first day. From there, we study left- and right- hand techniques in the context of real pieces of music, giving students the chance to apply the mechanics of guitar playing to the expression of musical ideas. At the same time, I work with students through progressive studies and warm-up exercises that have built-in expressive goals, so that they can learn to rely on their own ears to further refine their playing.

As I believe that a good guitarist is, first and foremost, a strong musician, I fold a number of diverse activities into weekly lessons, developing skills in music theory, ear training, sight reading, composition, and improvisation, all of which reinforce the acquisition of strong technique.

I have a PhD in music composition and theory, and place special emphasis on comprehending and assimilating the fundamentals of music in my lessons. I use an integrated approach that covers guitar technique, ear-training, harmony, theory, music history as well as composition and improvisation to encourage the development of well-rounded musicians.

I graduated Berklee College of Music - Professional Diploma in Performance (summa cum laude). During my studies at Berklee College of Music every semester I earned placement at Dean's List and 10 March 2016 I also received John LaPorta Award for outstanding achievement in my major.

After the graduation from high school in Novy Jicin I started to study acoustic guitar in which I pursued classical and latin music at the Jaroslav Jezek Conservatory in Prague, Czech Republic. Then I was admitted to a professional diploma program at the same Conservatory to study electric guitar where I studied jazz. I also invited lessons of rock guitar. Alongside the guitar, I was taking voice lessons and piano lessons.
