About
I'm a private music instructor with over 15 years experience, with a high rate of success. I teach a variety of guitar and piano styles, ranging from rock, classical, pop, blues, and jazz. Since the beginning of quarantine, I have successfully transitioned my clientele to online instruction, and can accommodate any platform (FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, etc). I can also provide in-person socially distanced lessons with mask, if so desired.
Apart from teaching, I excel in live and studio performance, and can help you put your rig together to find your desired tone -- including effects, amps, electronics, etc.
I also offer a custom course for students that would like to be able to sing and play their instrument, but are having trouble doing it simultaneously. I can address all pitch and timing issues.
I cater to all levels of experience, and can accommodate all learning & playing styles -- "by ear", reading sheet music, improvisation, etc.
It is my passion and full-time career to be able to help my students achieve their musical goals, whether it's learning their favorite songs/artists, writing and workshopping original material, or performing live or in-studio.

He helps you to understand the reasoning behind why scales and chords are structured as
they are, and to have a good time while understanding it! He is an expert at his craft, a
great person to learn from, and a great friend. Love you, Javier!
