In 2015 he graduated from Stetson University School of Music, with the BM Guitar Performance degree.

Denis also took masterclasses from such guitarists as Dr. Benjamin Verdery, Amadeus Guitar Duo and Jorge Caballero.
Since I was a little kid I always enjoyed listening to music. In this world, where everything is so rushed, music is one of the few things that can make us relax and enjoy the moment. There is nothing more rewarding for me, as a teacher, then excitement on a student's face when he or she plays the very first chord on the instrument. I always try to interact with the students and explain concepts in a fun and simple way; that makes my lessons fun and allows students to excel and get better quickly.
