From 73.29 C$ /h

Discover the beautiful sounds of the Spanish guitar and explore the many dynamic possibilities of the techniques and styles and how they can be applied to both the 'classics' of the repertoire as well as a long list of other genres - jazz, blues, folk. Classes will also feature a thorough and engaging 'guitarist friendly' introduction to the potentially boring topic of music theory - including chord construction, useful scale and the very important - what key is that and why?

Often students come to me with a lot of interest who previously went through academies, music schools and failed teachers who have only spent the money and time of these students, filling their heads with useless and impractical things. In all my experience as a teacher and as a professional musician I have learned that the best publicity that one can have is to do things well, that is why my classes are aimed at both beginner and intermediate level students, and for professionals who They find themselves stagnant or simply have many gaps in terms of knowledge.
There comes a time that it is difficult to advance alone despite the fact that today there are many facilities through the internet, youtube, etc ... but what better than a face to face with someone who plays your same instrument and can explain things to you in different ways until you understand them ..

Specialized classes focused on performance, reading and interpretation of the instrument. As well as stage advice for playing live and accompanying an ensemble. Specialization in the needs or desires of the student, variety of musical genres. Pace of class progress depending on each student and their specifications.

I offer classes tailored to each individual, depending on their goals and the desired musical aesthetic. As I always say, the important thing is to have fun with the instrument and pass it on to the listener. Having first learned different types of contemporary music such as blues and rock, I specialized in traditional flamenco, with its different styles (palos), its rhythms (compás), its very particular techniques that bring out this very characteristic guitar sound.

With 5 years of experience as a teacher, I adapt my lessons to each student for optimal learning.
During the first class, we define the areas of work and the methodology to be implemented to achieve your objectives and fully develop your potential.
The course is designed for students from beginner to advanced level, and allows you to approach all the essential elements of playing the instrument in a fun way.
For flamenco:
- the rhythm (with the different types of compasses relating to each palo)
- the characteristic techniques of flamenco guitar and their application through falsetas or exercises (rasgueos, arpeggios, thumb technique, tremolo, ligado, picado, ...)
- the harmony of the different flamenco hats
- the accompaniment of the song with its keys and codes
- courses intended to accompany dance

For blues and rock:
- the rhythm and specific cadences
- pick techniques
- bending, hammer/pull-off effects, etc.
- improvisation/composition of solos

With my help, you will gain a deeper understanding of technique, rhythm, music theory, and most importantly, a deeper understanding of the instrument itself! All of these elements will allow you to feel freer when studying a piece or composing your own music.
