Expert Performance Coaching: Flamenco & Classical Guitar

With a Masters in Flamenco specialized in pedagogy and a B.S. in research psychology Diego Alonso has dedicated the last 8 years to researching and implementing the most effective, research and experience based learning, teaching and coaching strategies into his coaching.

Diego emphasizes structured yet flexible lessons based on appropriately selected repertoire for each student's level. The main goals for each lesson are consistent sound quality, challenging but achievable targets, deliberate practice, performance practice, conscious performance analysis, injury prevention, strategies to diminish performance anxiety, artistic interpretation, mechanics and posture, constructive feedback, error correction and improvement drills.

Goals and suggestions for improvement for every lesson are typed out and sent to each student in order to gauge progress from lesson to lesson.

Appropriate students for expert performance ...

I've been performing music live since I was 6 years old.

I've toured all over the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Europe.

I'm fearless on stage because of all the experience I've gained in front of large crowds. I can teach students what it takes to achieve fearless and confident performances every time.

I love taking students and providing them with performance opportunities, whether it be for local open mic nights, auditions, or for fellow studio members. My ultimate goal is to have my students perform so that our work comes to fruition. Once we get to the point of performing we will rehearse with an accompanist and practice the techniques used for performing in whatever venue it might be.
