I have been teaching students since 1999 privately as well as with small groups of people. I'm very passionate about transmitting my experiences to every single student and encouraging them to achieve their goals with the best attitude. I’ve recorded, toured, and played with: Edisun – (FOF-EMI), Dive (Phase One – Red Sony), Ana Free (Warner Singapore), 202 (Pop Art – Sony/BMG), Panza (Ultrapop), and many others. I’m currently on tour with Diego Garcia (Elefant) about to promote his upcoming album “Paradise” playing all over the US, Canada, Mexico, South America & Europe.

It was, but it was even more fun for me because I was already well comfortable with what they were teaching, so the teacher would use me as an aide to assist the other students with what they were learning.

I use various methods and books depending on the style, age, ability etc. I always keep my eye out for new books and open to suggestions. A few examples. With classical guitar students who are over 10 yo I prefer to use Christopher Parkening Guitar Method and Frederick Noad "Solo Guitar Playing" The latter suits more mature (both mentally and physically) students. With younger guitar students , 6-9 yo, I usually start by using basic guitar methods such as Hal Leonard Essential elements or "Everybody's Guitar Method" and my own easy arrangements of popular songs before shifting to Parkening.

The best award for the teacher is seeing his student develops his own talent. And I'm sure that every one is talented and the only question is how it talent will be enriched and developed.

When studying with me, students can expect a comfortable and fun atmosphere that promotes experimentation and positive reinforcement. Employing a curriculum that is equal parts formal technique and informal playing of the students favorite music, I make every lesson engaging and exciting. After 3 to 6 months, beginners should expect to be able to play many of their favorite songs, have a firm grasp on basic scales, chords, theory and sight reading, and can even begin writing their own songs and improvising solos!
