Guitar Lessons

in Valley Stream.

Amazing Teachers.

I am versitile in a variety of styles of guitar from rock, metal and pop to classical. Additionally I have experience teaching Suzuki method.

I offer lessons for students of any experience level in any area of interest. I come from a rock and metal background, but have explored many other genres in varying degrees of depth. We can work on learning songs, learning styles, honing technique, reading, composing, improvising, and just learning the guitar inside and out as the unique and versatile musical tool that it is.

Electric and Acoustic Guitar, playing from Tabs, Scale Studies, Improvising, Lead Guitar, Solos.

There are many aspects to playing Guitar, but each student will be given intensive help on the aspects they are interested in, with other important aspects sprinkle in to help make them a more complete musician.

I've been studying, teaching, and performing on guitar for over ten years, playing both as a solo musicians and in a variety of bands. I have a performance degree in Jazz Studies and am well-versed in traditional and contemporary jazz and improvisation. I am a proficient composer and sight-reader, yet I also have spent much time training by ear. I have played in countless rock, jazz, funk, pop and afrobeat bands, in addition to studying classical guitar for a year at Oberlin.

I've been teaching guitar for the past thirteen years, and I've worked with all kinds of students. From children, to teenagers, to adults, everyone who I've had the pleasure to sit down with has told me what they want to get out of the guitar, and I've made it my responsibility to help them reach their goal. Within the first few lessons, every student develops a new perspective, and approaches the guitar with the clarity and confidence to grow as a musician at a pace comfortable for them.

My goal is to encourage more people to develop a love of music. That means helping them play the music they want to play. It means learning how to make practicing fun. My lessons aren't just about how to play guitar, but also about learning how a guitar works. how they're built, so that as you get better and start being more discerning with what you play on, you know what you're looking at in a shop. My goal is to lay a solid foundation for you to build upon technically and artistically.

Hola 👋🏻, siendo guitarrista de estudio, llevo alrededor de 13 años practicando el noble arte de tocar la guitarra sin dejar de aprender cosas nuevas cada día.

Siempre me ha dado la impresión de que en la mayoría de libros/métodos para aprender omiten cierta información que es realmente clave, además de que no suelen enseñar un material práctico y de una forma entretenida, por eso la decisión de ayudar con este enfoque.

Actualmente tengo varias ocupaciones que me mantienen entretenido: instructor, producir mi disco personal, seguir creando cursos, me encanta esta vida, con tiempo para estudiar, armar proyectos nuevos, por ese motivo tome la decisión de que era el momento de compartir lo aprendido.
