Hi, my name is Abbas and I am a music professional. I completed my Masters degree in classical guitar in 1993 and have been a producer and composer for the last 10 years working for the TV and media industry. I consider it part of my responsibility to pass on what I have learned to others. My teaching philosophy is very simple. We play music to have fun and I try to cultivate that feeling in my students.

The first thing I do is determine the student's skill level, what the student can play, and how I can build on that. For a student who has never played before, I begin by explaining the physics of the instrument. Why a string makes a particular sound, what makes that sound higher or lower in pitch and why that is; then how to use that to write or imitate a particular melody. Read More

I started giving guitar lessons before I left to go to music school and continued to do so while I was in school and afterwards as well. It's always been for the love of sharing music with others and now I'm feeling called to do it full time. I have taught students from the age of 5 to folks in Their 50's. It's never too late to start learning an instrument. Read More

My earliest teaching engagements date back as far as middle school, where I was a member of the Dueitt Middle School guitar club: an after school extracurricular program based upon mutual learning. This eventually led to my joining the Spring High School music club, while offering independently designed lesson plans to students after school and during summer. I continued private lessons and music production well into my military career (including 'down time' in Afghanistan). Read More

I love to see my students reach musical maturity. Therefore, even, a beginner will sound musical after just a few lessons. I always remind them to push forward to higher levels. I always advise them that practise is the key and the more they practice the faster they advance. Classes consist of warming up exercises, then the student works on the music assigned and the Instructor gives it a grade. Read More

I do this because I love music, and I love helping others love music. So, while I do want the students to be very proficient musicians, I am mostly concerned in helping cultivate the student's passion for music. After all, if the student doesn't love the music, it's not near as urgent to practice and produce results. The love of the music is what drives the practice. Also, while I have general curriculums designed to guide the student's educational journey, I know that all students learn at different paces. Read More

Music is like a language all it's own, and I try to teach it similarly to how we naturally learn language. Growing up we don't learn by grammar and rules, but by listening to others. I make sure they are prepared with everything needed to play songs/pieces, as well as all that is needed for improvisation and solos. Then I begin starting them on reading and writing music, typically using a beginner method book such as essential elements. Read More
