Reviews for Miramar classical guitar lessons

I've been working with Jake for about a year and a half, his lessons have been great for developing both a playing technique for and an understanding of the music I'm pursuing. His lessons are always a good opportunity to troubleshoot areas of improvement, get input on playing/practicing, and to just learn new music. I think Jake's instruction would benefit players of a variety of experience and interests.

It’s difficult to describe in a few lines how was my experience having Tomati as a teacher. He is that kind of musician you rarely find around, knows a lot about theory, has a great technique, decades of experience; but above it all (or I might say, under it all), he can express himself with music as if it was his mother tongue.
I had the chance to learn from him for about 1 year, during this time he was always challenging me to go further on my music development, but not in the normal way a teacher would do, I had always the feeling he was testing me all the time, when we were improvising over standards he frequently added different chord voices in the harmony to see if I could react to it, he somehow figured out very quickly how far he could go with me without de-motivating me, and I guess this kind of sensibility is what makes a great teacher.
I definitely learned from him a lot about guitar playing, but he surely taught me more about music itself in one year than I’ve learned in decades of playing.
Great musician, terrific teacher, beautiful human being!
