Depending on experience, we will start working on basic techniques or a piece that best suits your skill level.

from basic etudes, notation, and techniques to elaborate and well-known compositions

There are many ways to cultivate your musical skill whether it's visual, kinesthetic, or auditory. Let's find out which way works best for you!

Most schools do not offer the flexibility in learning styles necessary for you to find your ideal way of processing new information, whether it be visual, auditorial, kinesthetic, memetic, right brain/left brain, etc.

That's why I'm here! I pride myself on working with each individual student on the subtle ways that they learn and form healthy habits. If you have any questions about my teaching styles or methods please ask!

A little more about me:

I have over 10 years of guitar experience, studying under Jazz heavyweights Corey Christiansen, Oteil Burbridge, and Dan Miller. I pride myself in putting my students needs and wants above all else. I wish to impart a love for music onto my students that can only be cultivated by the bond a teacher and their student share, let us learn and grow together!

I've been teaching classical guitar, to everyone from children to adults, for over a decade. My students not only get a comprehensive introduction to the genre, but also an appreciation for style and technique.

My lessons are catered to the individual student. Typically half of the session is spent on technique/fretboard harmony and the other half is spent on learning music/songs. I have found it is best for younger students (12 and under) to learn from a book - for added structure).

I put a lot of planning into each lesson. I have a system where students move up through levels. I send out lesson notes with a plan for daily practice. I carefully introduce repertorie so the student works on several pieces at a time and is able to complete and receive a new piece every week. This is assuming the student follows the lesson plan every day in their daily practice. I have a ladder for the student to climb that starts at the very bottom and climbs through what someone would be studying in graduate work in top music conservatories.

My guitar lessons and classes are taught by a certified Musicians Institute graduate. I've had close to 10 years experience teaching lessons with kids and adults aged 5 and up. I've coordinated a number of after school guitar programs for kids in the past and still run a Y-Kids guitar program at the YMCA. I teach based on what the students want to learn to play while also covering music theory so you're enjoying while you learn!! I have had a lot of experience not only teaching but playing in bands, doing studio guitar sessions, playing gigs, and just working in the music industry.

I've been both performing and teaching guitar for over 15 years. I can teach in English or Spanish. I'll help you develop your classical guitar technic and learn and/or perfectionate repertoire. If interested in Flamenco you won't be in better hands. I will teach you both the technic and palos (styles of Flamenco) as well as the history and theory behind it if interested.

The vibrant melodies exude energy. Together we can make this happen, lively and with your unique guitar excellence. Let's start!
