About
I've recently received a MM in Jazz Studies from NYU on February 2019 and I've been working there as an adjunct guitar instructor. I also have a BM in Composition and Arrangements major, with over 15 years of experience playing in bands of different music styles, and I've been a private music teacher and also have taught in music workshops over the last 10 years.
You can customize lessons according to your interest in different genres, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Latin, and we can work in any song that you like. From beginner to advanced, I will teach you how to develop a broad understanding and love for music, with focus towards your personal goals, from playing written music to improvisation, playing solo and/or in groups.
I love teaching and sharing the love for music with others. As much as I love playing, writing music and performing live, I love teaching to every single person the gift of music. Being able to bring some light and joy to other person by playing music is a gift for myself too.
