Instruments: Guitar
In 2012 Hristo embarked on yet another musical chapter of his life. Heartmony is the long awaited and highly anticipated follow up to the first duet recording by the guitarist and pianist Weber Iago (The Secrets of an Angel). As the title of the record will suggest, Heartmony explores a truly intimate, honest, and emotional conversation between the two instruments. The music, which transports you from impressionistic landscapes to folkloric tales and from melancholic memories to meditative trances, is simply the purest harmonious sounds Vitchev has put on tape up to date.

Despite my young age, I've had extensive experience in Early Childhood Education as well as one-on-one music lessons. I gave my first lesson as a high school graduate to a neighbor who wanted to learn drums and start a band. I was able to provide a technical foundation for him to feel comfortable playing with others. In no time I was working with his band on learning songs to play at a school performance. Read More

I started teaching guitar when I was in Highschool(4 years ago), initially learning guitar in public school I had a very large communal aspect of what specifically Classical Guitar was. As I grew and took guitar more seriously, I entered a high school classical guitar class, many of my peers were beginners, and me having had taken lessons for 5 years prior the teacher allowed me to help out with teaching the instrument.

Instruments: Piano Guitar
Flowing between the presentation of new information and the actual active playing music is very important to the way I conduct lessons. Especially for the young, I place much more emphasis on facilitating musical experiences rather than the integration of musical nomenclature and conceptualization. When we learn to speak, our ears guide us first, and we imitate. Writing and reading comes later. I've found that this pertains to music as well, if not even moreso. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Can your child sing any song? It doesn't have to be good. Do they sing happy birthday? Anything on the radio? Or even a tune on the commercial like "nationwide is on your side"?
If you say yes then the child is ready the start lessons. When they sing they already recognize pitch and rhythm which is all you need to start playing an instrument.
Now let's say your child is shy and they do not like to sing songs. Then I believe that the child is ready to start lessons when they are able to communicate efficiently with their parents.
Now let's say you are still not sure, and you just want to know an exact number of when your child can start taking lessons. I would recommend 6 years old to be the earliest, because they are usually in elementary school. People forget that music is also a subject. Therefore, if your child is old enough to learn math, then they are also old enough to learn music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1. You have to be dedicated and determined. Find your motivation. Remind yourself why did you want to play music, and follow that dream!
2. Make one short term goal, and one long term goal. "I WILL PRACTICE _______ for _____ minutes. By the end of ______, I would like to learn ___________"
3. Warm up by playing drills. This could be scales, it could be exercising techniques, and in some instruments, this could mean drinking water. Then I would spend time practicing the stuff you're NOT good at. Slow down the pace, break the piece into smaller parts, and play it over and over again. Then once it is perfect, you can put all of the pieces together.
When will I start to see results?
The time it takes for students to see results varies. Some students learn quicker while others need more time. However, all of the students are who does learn quicker are usually the students that spend more time practicing.
Also, keep in mind that the first month of learning the instrument is usually the most challenging. The students are learning music theory, how to read notes, how to read rhythms, how to play properly hold the instrument, and all the other nitty gritty things which do take some time to learn. Once they get the hang of it, it comes down to how often the student is practicing.
