Ever since I was young, I was also very interested and focused in teaching. After doing so for many years I am now one of the most respected musical educators in Buenos Aires. At the age of 17, while studying my bachelor, I began teaching guitar and electric bass in my own studio at home. I also started teaching some short courses about musical theory and harmony, destined for all kinds of instrumentalists. Read More

I have been teaching in the areas of greater New York City and Long Island for the last 12 years. Making a student's musical aspirations has always been a great source of joy for me. Mainly, I focus on building a student's repertoire of his or her favorite music, so that practice can be a source of expression and actualization instead of obligation and drudgery. Once the student has started exploring their musical preferences, we can continue developing perfect technique, as well as practical improvisation and theory. Read More

With all students I put a lot of emphasis on leaning how to learn. I believe that by, for instance, teaching students how to make good use of their practice time (being productively self-critical) and processing information in an intuitive way, drastically expedites musical development and profoundly affect brain development. Much of this intuitive practice has to do with internalizing information such as music theory or recordings to the point that they become second nature much like a language. Read More

Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! Read More

For younger students and all of my students who want to learn how to read music I start with the Mel Bay Guitar Method Vol. 1. As we progress through that I usually start giving out more reading that is complimentary to the direction that the student is going in. However, I know there are several guitar students who don't necessarily want to learn how to read music which I am fine with teaching. Read More

My #1 policy is: Never leave a student with a confusion. I personally make sure that the student has fully understood the lesson before I leave that even means staying over the time scheduled at my own cost. I make the lessons fun and set goals for every lesson. This is to aid the student in acheiving something and getting the feeling of accomplishment when having done so. I make to goals real so that they can actually be attained. Read More
