About Rodrigo D.

5.0

(12)

I’m a guitarist, bassist and music educator born in Brazil, Florianopolis, and I’ve resided in the NJ area since 2019 where I work with students of all ages and teach courses focused on Harmony, Improvisation, Composition, Guitar/Bass Proficiency, and Musical Beginning to kids and adults. I graduated with Magna Cum Laude from the prestigious Berklee College of Music with a major in Performance, with guitar as my principal instrument. Throughout my many years as a performer, I studied with the finest music educators from Boston/MA, NYC, and Sao Paulo, such as: Mick Goodrick, Garry Dial, Richie Hart, Ed. Tomassi, Bruce Bartlet, Nando Michelin, Lupa Santiago, Michel Leme, Daniel Maudonnet, among others. I absolutely love teaching and I have a lot of experience with students of all levels and ages. I’m very proud of all the long-lasting friendships I’ve developed with my students throughout the past decades and always teach my lessons with good humor and patience! Book your lessons right now! =) “A passionate musician with technique and soul for days.” - Amanda Monaco

I've been taking guitar lessons with Rodrigo, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He's not only incredibly patient but also impressively knowledgeable and talented. His good sense of humor adds a fantastic element to each lesson, making learning enjoyable and engaging. I highly recommend Rodrigo for anyone looking to learn the guitar – you won't be disappointed!

Rodrigo is the kindest and most patient teacher. I was a total beginner, and he showed no frustrations with me. Rather, he was very attentive and thorough with my strengths and weaknesses, and gave me constructive feedback. 10/10 would recommend to all levels!
