-Rockschool/Trinity exams
-Improve one or more aspects of the student's technique
-Improve knowledge of theory/harmony
-Learn improvisation
-Learn different styles (Rock, Blues, Pop, Funk/Soul, Metal, Jazz...) or focus on a particular style
-Learn to play songs from your favourite artists
-Practice with different effects pedals
-How to create your own demos (drum programming, midi and vocals, and guitar recording using Pro Tools and Logic Pro X)
-Songwriting

Depending on your goal and your level I prepare a plan with small deadlines that can vary depending on your progress. Independently of your goal I always try to make sure you have fun during the process, I'm a friendly person who loves music and teaching.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

About Me

I am an empathetic person, who loves teaching and songwriting, and who firmly believes in the influence music exerts on the creativity of those who practice it.

I have been teaching since 2014, starting modestly in a small cultural center in my hometown in Spain, moving on to emigrate to the United Kingdom pursuing a career in music. Since my arrival in 2016, I have completed a degree in Creative Musicianship, I have played in important venues in London with the Turkish artist Selin Geçit, I have founded my own musical project, of which I am a producer and composer, I have created a guitar method for beginners focused on improvisation and modern styles, and I have participated in independent film projects, winning an award at the 2018 Raindance Film Festival in London.

I feel very comfortable teaching band performance and songwriting since they are my passion, as well as modern guitar techniques and music theory.
As a musical director, I have experience leading original and cover bands since I started my first group in 2012, apart from the experience learned during the band performance sessions at BIMM London.

Most of the musical projects I have been involved are rock related, but I have also played latin styles and pop in a Dance Orchestra in Spain, and funk and soul with Selin Geçit’s band.

My time management and planning skills are excellent, something essential to coordinate artistic projects and guarantee the progress of students. My musical background and years of teaching have made me good at inspiring students and squeezing their creativity out of them.

Don't hesitate to drop me a message!
