    About Roberto A.

    5.0
    (9)
    Hello and thanks for reading. I grew up in the musically-rich state of Texas, playing everything from ABBA to ZZ Top, and I began teaching in the San Diego area about 3 years ago. My teaching career had been diverse, including teaching Guitar classes at Adult Education and children at the Community Center, and classes to our Navy servicemen and servicewomen. I hold an Associate of Music Studies Degree from San Diego Mesa College. I have students as young as 8. so I build a solid musical foundation upon which they can grow. I emphasize music literacy, proper technique, and practice strategies to help them excel as musicians. Many of my students are mainly busy adults, so with them I do not use conventional teaching techniques - I focus on getting them to play songs. Most of my Intermediate Students started with me as beginners, picking up a guitar for the first time. With a vocabulary of just a few chords and rhythms, you can play hundreds of songs! * Note to pet owners - I am allergic to cats, but don't mind making necessary arrangements.

    Roberto is one of our Adult Education Instructors teaching Beginning and Intermediate Guitar lessons. He is organized, on-time and follows through with deadlines. He is accommodating to his students and I believe they are enjoying his class.

    Awesome and patient instructor. I started class with learning, laughing and having fun...the next I knew, we were playing a song. Amazing. Thank you so much.
