Although I currently still enjoy playing and teaching popular guitar, I decided to dedicate myself to the instrument, and expand my repertoire into classical music. Iwas born in Cali, Colombia. In 1998, me and my family moved to the United States. I began my guitar studies under the direction of Jose Adan in Miami, Florida at the Miami Dade College. Read More

My approach is focused very much on performance, technicalities, and theory. I believe it is very important for the student to understand how these aspects of playing coincide with each other, and how they are equally essential to music playing. Before giving a student a piece of music to play, I will always play it befoehand and dissect the song into portions that I feel need special attention. I encourage playing with other musicians, and always try to teach the art ofimprovisation, so that the students can learn to play not only by themselves, but with other musicians, using the musicial understanding that it takes to improvise.
