Guitar with Julio P.

My musical journey started when I was 10 years of age. I fell in love with the guitar and started taking lessons from a local academy. My first guitar teacher taught me a variety of musical styles and provided me with a solid foundation that would help me with the rest of my career. I continued taking lessons all the way through high school and then went on to study musical education in college. Throughout my life I have played with many different bands, covering; alternative, Christian, rock, reggae, and pop. Currently, I compose and record my own music, lead a band, give guitar and keyboard lessons, and also work as an audio engineer. Learning how to play guitar at an early age has helped me relate to all kinds of students and their abilities. I was there; I know how exciting it is to start learning the guitar and can guide you through all the necessary steps in order for you to learn and succeed. *** Lesson Details *** Every class I teach is individualized and personalized for each student. My program is really fun and effective. I will teach you music theory basics so that you can read music notation. But mainly I will focus on teaching you the songs that you like, form the artists and bands you admire. Bring a CD, MP3 player, or iPod to your lesson with your favorite song(s) and I will teach you how to play the songs that YOU love. *** Studio Equipment *** Finished Studio with guitars, keyboards, music stands, amps, and bass guitar. Seating for parents. *** Travel Equipment *** I can provide 2 amplifiers, 2 music stands, CD and MP3 player, and multiple guitars. I would expect for the student to provide his own instrument for daily practices at home. *** Specialties *** Rock, Alternative, Metal, Jazz, Classical, Pop, Reggae, and Flamenco.
