About Hugo A.
5.0
(4)
I'm a professional guitarist, composer and arranger. I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Diploma in Professional Music.
I started playing electric guitar and then expanded also to the classical guitar, which has broaden extensively my approach to different styles of music. Each style is basically a new accent you can acquire, and to do that you need to immerse yourself into that reality by listening a lot to those of your interest. Some of the styles I regularly teach are Classical, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Blues, R&B and different styles of Brazilian music (Bossa-nova, samba, baião, choro, forró, maracatu).
I teach my students how to hear with their inner ears before touching the instrument and randomly searching for it. Music is inside everyone and the instrument is just a tool to get it out.

I've had three lessons with Hugo and it has been very helpful already. He has been flexible with me and is supportive and patient. I look forward to future lessons with him!

Hugo is a very patient teacher and has a lot of musical knowledge to pass along. I went to my first lesson with him without knowing anything about music or the guitar and now I already feel some confidence talking about the subject. He gradually deepens the subject and always makes sure you understood before going forward. I super recommend him!

Hugo is one of a kind. Great teacher and an amazing human being! Took lessons with him back in Boston while he was still studying at the prestigious Berklee College of Music and it couldn't have been better. Improved my repertoire and my technique meanly when it comes to fingerstyle. Highly recommended!
