Lutz, FL Classical Guitar Lessons

Please see my profile.

I have been teaching guitar, including Classical Guitar, for 23 years. I emphasize the finer points of finger style guitar to achieve the best technique and sound. Also standard music notation for reading music is very important. Classical guitar is a different world than the standard guitar approach, but it is quite fulfilling and enjoyable, although the technique will apply to any finger style song you would like to play!

Experienced guitar teacher of 23 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of classical guitar skills. I specialize in finger picking for classical, pop, rock, ETC...Typically use Hal Leonard books, and also have the following tools available to use during lessons: sound recording equipment, Guitar Amps, effect pedals, sheet music, and more.

See "Guitar" for more information

Heavy emphasis on technique (specifically right hand), tone production (making sure your guitar sounds good), and reading notation. These aspects are the core elements of any good classical guitar player.

I usually like to cover at least some sort of technical work every lesson, followed by building a basic repertoire of music

As experienced instructor and online course designer that I have created, designed and developed programs and courses for universities, music academies and privates students from all ages.
As musician I have performed and participated in music festival, cultural events, radio stations and tv shows like "Sabado Gigante".

My idea is not to be just a teacher but a friend who will accompany, guide, and motivate you through your learning process.

Time is gold. I will make sure we don't waste it.

Practical but professional.
I teach in a way that any student can connect with the composer/musician inside them via practical knowledge.

The most important thing a teacher can do for a student is to guide him or her to a point where advancement becomes a self discipline.
This is accomplished by getting to know a student's learning style and adapting to it. And absolutely laying a strong foundation in fundamentals of music.
I've been teaching private lessons for over five years and all of my students have extensive instruction in music theory. I also encourage experimentation and creativity to work in some music composition.

I have extensive experience teaching and playing across many styles including jazz, classical, R&B, funk, rock, folk, improvised music, and more. I approach each student as an individual with their own goals, needs, experience level, and learning style to create a specialized curriculum that helps propel the student towards their best self and enjoy the process at the same time.

Are you looking for a great guitar teacher who will push you to be your best self? Students who take lessons with me are given specialized curriculums to suit their personal guitar goals and make sure they get the most out of their money. Lessons with me are slightly different because of my background. I started out playing classical guitar and this has shaped my guitar learning experiences, which in turn changed the way I teach. I come at things from a musical theory standpoint, with precision and a focus on improvement through better technique and a solid foundation in the basics. Send me a message and we can start learning together!

The teaching approach I use is goal oriented. You can share you musical goals and dreams with me and we create a plan to help you achieve these goals/dreams. We average 2,000 lessons a year at the Studio I own and work with a wide variety of styles, levels and ages. Some of our students have gone on to major in Guitar Performance in at prestigious colleges around the country and many of our students perform in a wide variety of settings.
