About Me

I began learning classical guitar when I was a child, strumming my father’s guitars without knowing what I was doing. One day I met a classical guitarist and I still remember how hardly I could even believe that one single person could do that on the guitar!!
Since then I chased my dream of becoming a Master of this instrument and making it my life. It’s brought me to Japan, Iran, USA, and all over Europe to perform and give Masterclasses. It’s made me a guitar professor for universities and gave me 10 year experience teaching to any kind of level and age students in London
