I'm a passionate instructor who loves sharing my knowledge with others. I recently obtained my Bachelor of Music in Music Education from the California State University of Los Angeles. I have been training professionally as a guitarist for seven years. I have mostly performed classical guitar, but I have also been able to perform other genres while applying my classical guitar knowledge. I recently performed with my college's guitar ensemble in Armenia, and I have also had solo performances during my time in college. Read More

Some of them have graduated from Berklee, Musician's Institute, and others just see music as a hobby and I respect and encourage them all equally. I've had adult students just picking up an instrument for the first time and seasoned pros that need some new perspective. My teaching has been a massive part of my career, including private lessons, working at School of Rock for 9 years, and masterclasses in my native Venezuela and The Netherlands. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonards Essential Elements book, as well a basic understanding of music.

It is important to pass on the education and experience I received. In my opinions, this is a duty of the artist. So I have always tried to share what has been given to me.

Keeping them engaged in the world of music is my main goal. Always to encourage them to keep pushing towards new boundaries. I remember my early piano teacher was terrible. It greatly damaged my passion for piano, which I regained many years later. I understand that a teaching position is not an easy one. We as professors, are the key to help the students find their own voices and not make them feel judged based on comparison or skills. Read More
