Acoustic Guitar with Gabriel R.

I am a professional guitarist, singer, and songwriter, with 10 years of experience helping budding guitarists reach their musical goals and grow as musicians. I have never found anything more fulfilling than watching my students learn to love and take ownership of music, and discovering the individual needs and strengths of each of my students is one of the greatest joys in my life. I pull from many sources in my teaching and cover an extremely wide range of genres, styles and techniques. My teaching is heavily personalized, and we will specifically work to meet your individual musical goals and learn the songs that you already know, love and dream of playing. Fingerstyle, flatpicking, warm acoustic tones or melt-your-face-off effect-heavy electric, we'll work together to find and master the sound you've been looking for! Here’s some things you can expect from our time together: Building a self-selected repertoire of songs. Honing techniques from brief, effective exercises. Learning music theory in a gradual, easy-to-digest way. Analyzing how the songs that speak to you are put together. Improvizing based on the genre and style that interests you. Putting it all together through songwriting and experimentation. The exact balance of what we’re going to do is 100% up to the student’s interests and goals, but each of the above elements will contribute to your becoming a confident, well-balanced musician with a huge arsenal of musical tools and tricks at your disposal to express yourself however you want. In dealing with the current COVID-19 crisis, I have suspended all in-person guitar lessons until such a time as there is either a functional vaccine or a highly effective and well-circulated treatment. That said, local students can certainly transition from online to in-person as the world becomes safer. Hablo español. Je parle français.
