Music and guitar lessons:

Music is for everyone! I teach grownups, youngsters and kids from 6 years on.
I’ve been teaching the guitar for more than 20 years at music schools and privately.

Styles

  • Classical guitar, acoustic and electrical guitars (beginner to conservatory level)

Skills

  • Guitar techniques: strumming and picking chords, using tirando and apoyando strokes, and learning how to play legato melodies
  • Notes & rhythm: because being able to read music comes in handy
  • Improvisation: Improvising over chord progressions is a lot of fun
  • Ear training: developing an intuitive understanding of what you hear
