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.

I love teaching guitar. And each student is unique.

My approach is to gear my teaching methods to the individual learning style of the student.

You need someone who responds to you and interacts with you as a unique learner. This makes learning fun and effective for you.

Why study guitar privately? Doesn’t the Internet provide everything one needs to study guitar? The quick answer is NO! There is no doubt the Internet provides an unlimited amount of musical information and online lessons work well for some students, but any advanced level guitarist will always recommend private hands-on guitar instruction.

I’ve developed a multi-level method for teaching beginners, intermediate, and advanced guitar students. The levels are progressive and build upon guitar techniques and music theory from the previous lessons.

My teaching method focuses on playing technique, music theory, ear training, musical expression, and rhythm. The final objective the guitar student is the ability to play from the heart to the hand.

If you want master or just become a better player I can help.
