My teaching philosophy is based on giving students as much information as possible in a safe environment in which they feel motivated to learn. I recognize that each student requires a different approach, therefore I adapt to the needs of each one, always making sure that the knowledge they are acquiring is complete.
Usually during the classes we focus on rhythm, harmony, sight reading, technique, improvisation and the learning of different musical styles.

  • When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?

    I was in grade 10 at school when my best friend and I started guitar lessons in a small Colombian town called El Retiro. We were attracted by its sound and shortly after we decided to form a rock band. I spent 2 years learning acoustic and electric guitar and then I discovered the classical guitar. I immediately fell in love with it. It was at this moment that I decided I wanted to become a professional guitarist.
  • What makes you passionate about your subject?

    Music for me is a type of meditation. When I play the guitar, I forget all the problems and I feel completely happy.
  • What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?

    I believe that teaching someone how to play an instrument is one of the greatest gifts you can give since when you teach a person about general music or how to play a guitar you are giving them something that will possibly accompany them their entire life. Playing an instrument not only stimulates our multitasking abilities since we will be exercising our motor skills in both hands and our memory, but it is also a type of meditation and the best company you will ever get.
  • Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.

    I was born in Canada, but my parents took me to South America when I was a kid, and I met my first guitar teacher while living in a small town in Colombia. His name was Humberto Montoya and this teacher inspired me because he was more than just a good teacher. I remember that he had constant communication with my parents and was very flexible in his teaching methodology, so he was always able to meet all his students' needs independently of their age and social background. He was the teacher who brought the music to me, and I consider it as the most wonderful gift I have received.
  • What are your keys to success?

    Passion, vision, preparation, courage, perseverance, and integrity.
