About Halec S.
Hello! My name is Halec and I've been playing electric and classical guitar for over 11 years. I began teaching 4 years ago with different students of various ages. I love teaching every genre of music from djent and classic rock all the way to modern pop and rap. I take pride in creating an environment that emphasizes comfort and positive learning strategies. For parents of the next generation of rockers, I have over 6 years of experience working with children (6-14 years old) in settings such as camp, before and after school programs, and tutoring facilities. I am a fluent Russian speaker and am highly familiar with classical and traditional Russian music. Please feel free to send me any questions you may have!

A fantastic teacher and guitar player. So accommodating and helpful. A true talent, would recommend to any friend or family. If you are trying to learn guitar, Halec is your guy.


Halec is an amazing teacher, his style of teaching is very interesting as he will teach you the songs simultaneously with the technique. He is very accommodating with the schedules and utilizes the lesson time in a best possible way.

Every lesson is very insightful and educational! I always really enjoy my time playing and learning with and from Mr. Halec during our scheduled tutorings. He has launched my learning in Classical Guitar farther than anyone else has! Thank you so much, Mr. Halec!

he really helped me when I needed it and I want him to be a friend when I get older but I know that makes no sense because I'm young maybe I'll still keep learning from him by the time I get to college and I know this is not necessary Eminem basically saying is that I want you to be forever so that I can continue learning from him

Straight to the point. Easygoing. Thanks !

I like how he broke it down and show I like how he broke it down and show me and then I got confused and then show me again now I got it me and then I got confused and then show me again now I got it

Halec always makes the most of the time in each lesson and is really patient and helpful for someone brand new to guitar like me. He also gives clear direction on how to get the most out of practicing and sets clear expectations for how your skills will progress over time. It's been a great start to learning guitar!



I think it's a little tricky to remember but besides that I think it went well think it went swell and well


Patient, kind and fun.

My son very happy with teacher and he is making big progress.Halec always respond fast to my messeges. Very happy with our teacher

My son is taking classes with Halec and it’s going very very well. Halec is patient, motivating and accommodating. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn guitar.



He is a good Guitar teacher! Very patient. Nice song selection to cover different chords and concepts. I would recommend to take lesson with.

Just had my 4th lesson with Halec and they have all been awesome! My main goal in learning guitar is to create my own supporting instrumentation to my hip hop beats. Halec was completely understanding of my intentions with learning guitar and we have been working on ways that I can incorporate my own playing into my songs. My soloing has already improved dramatically!
10/10 would recommend!

Very helpful, been having lessons with him for 3 weeks now and definitely learning alot

Was amazing! Extremely patient. So excited to continue and learn more!


It has only been three lessons with him so far but I really like his teaching style. He is very encouraging and knows what he is doing.

It's really cool being able to see my son play all the songs he likes on the radio. Really good teacher.

Halec has been a great help to my son. It's really cool to see him be able to play all the songs he loves from the radio!
I enjoy the lesson with Halec. He helps me to understand the lessons well.

I have been taking lessons with Halec for a few months and I see a lot of progress in my playing. He's patient and makes the lesson fun!

My son has been taking lessons with Halec for the past few months and has been very much enjoying playing the guitar. Halec made him feel very comfortable and at ease, and was very patient with him during his first few lessons. Thank you for providing a great experience, we will definitely be continuing lessons with Halec moving forward.

Very patient, lots of fun too! I really enjoyed working with him and I’ve seen a lot of improvement in my guitar playing both on electric and acoustic. I started with basically no experience and I feel a lot more confident with my playing. He’s very, very talented and overall a really good instructor.
