    (31)
    With an associates degree from El Camino, and lots of musical studies in Mexico, I have been fortunate to tour through the States and through my country. My lessons include real working tips for the real life, keeping it fun as the material is created for your specific needs. I am a multi-instrumentalist that will pass as much knowledge as you can practice... Let's work together... *** Lesson Details *** We'll cover music basic theory and the most part of your lesson will be the music you want to learn, saving a small portion of the time to repertoire that I consider will help you grow musically. *** Studio Equipment *** Sibelius, Logic, apple, Kala ukes, U-bass, vihuela, charango, piano, keyboard, accordion, acoustic and electric guitars, panflutes, boss fx, amps, mics, and more. *** Travel Equipment *** instruments and books needed. *** Specialties *** mariachi, Catholic music, Andean music, Latin rhythms

    Rodrigo is great. I had a local teacher in San Francisco and it was difficult to bring the accordion in person and to leave it in the car. Rodrigo is very patient, attentive and fun. I highly recommend hit. I actually have not done my 3rd class yet. I am super busy with work and take classes when I can. Alex

    I learned more in my first lesson with Rodrigo than i have in months trying to teach myself the accordion on YouTube. Rodrigo is a focussed, organized instructor who conveyed so much so quickly. I am looking forward to my second lesson!
