Classical And Acoustic Guitar Lessons Orange County

My name is Timur Duel, I am a classically trained guitarist who happens to be also a passionate and patient teacher with over 25 years of experience. I teach classical and acoustic guitar as well as ukulele and accept students of all ages and levels, regardless of background or possible limitations.

I can assure that you will get a solid foundation, learn proper posture and technique, get to play your favorite pieces or songs and will discover new charming compositions and I will share all my knowledge and expertise with you. I encourage my students to learn basic music theory and we would work on improvisation, accompaniment and even composition (if you are interested), which develops a creative side of you. I also prepare my students of school age for RCM examinations.

A little about me. I studied classical guitar at a local music school in Baku, Azerbaijan (back when it used to be a part of the Soviet Union) and later at Tel Aviv Music Academy in Israel (BMus). I moved to Orange County in 2003 and have been teaching and playing gigs all over SoCal ever since. I have taught lots of students throughout the years, have a lot of good memories and excited to meet and get to know you!

You can listen to my performance of one of most beloved guitar compositions "Sons de Carrilhoes" by Brazilian guitarist and composer Joao Pernambuco.
