About Diego R.
5.0
(1)
I’ve been playing music of every style and genre for over 23 years and teaching for 15. My musical curiosity has led me to perform and record with singer/songwriters, pop, rock, funk, soul, R&B, jazz, and fusion bands, both originals and covers, as well as, pit orchestras, guitar ensembles, Celtic traditional bands, and worship ensembles. I graduated from Towson University where I received a Bachelor of Music with a focus on jazz/commercial performance.
I teach both electric and acoustic guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, and Irish/tenor banjo to students of all experience levels. I teach students of ALL ages starting from age 8 and ranging up to 65+. I genuinely believe that it is never too late to start your musical journey. It’s all about taking that first step.
In the pursuit of making music as enjoyable as possible, I do my best to make sure my students are having fun and are learning what they want to learn. While I may be the one steering the ship, it is each student who ultimately decides where we are going and what we are learning. I also do my best to ensure that my students all understand that music is an art and a form of expression, communication, and collaboration and not a competition. While we are always trying to get better, that should never get in the way of enjoying the act of making music.
You can catch me live playing around New York City as both a freelancer and with my various music acts including timesink, Natalie Barth, and The Pilgrims of Deep Run
