Perfect! Saro, really understands a students needs and skill level and develops and adapts his teaching pace and style to match that. He is patient yet constantly challenges my playing ability. My skills have grown exponentially with jus a few sessions. Great teacher for any age or skill level.
Perfect! Saro is a very friendly guy who is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to classical guitar. I’ve only been seeing him for a few weeks and I am already noticing a difference in my skill and how I practice. He saw exactly what I needed to work on and helped me adopt better techniques. I would recommend Saro to anyone who is looking to start or improve at classical guitar.
Perfect! Saro is a very dedicated teacher. He is highly skilled at guitar playing, and is able to engage and challenge his student by providing high quality instructions blending with fun learning.

Saro is a very knowledgeable teacher. It is very easy to work with him as he understands my technical and musical problems very well and addresses them in a very helpful manner.
I highly recommend taking guitar lessons with Saro.Finding Saro was such a blessing. I came to Saro as a former music major myself, looking for beginner classical guitar lessons for my son (who had already been playing cello for 3.5 years with demonstrated musical ability).
We interviewed instructors for about a month and finally found Saro....You could not ask for a more capable, kind, accommodating guitar teacher. Saro brings a wealth of not only technical but also cultural musical knowledge to each lesson. (In fact, when searching for a guitar teacher, it was Saro's impressive education and performance history, including a Masters in Classical Guitar from USC/Thornton, that set him apart from the slew of your typical rock/pop guitar teachers in the L.A. area).
But as soon as we met Saro at our first lesson -- and encountered his welcoming cool smile -- we knew we made the right decision in both pedigree and personality.
Saro is a super cool guy who teaches all ages. And he gels especially well with kids AND their parents. He is particularly wonderful and patient with our 10-year-old son, who can be somewhat shy to talk during lessons. Saro meets him where he can reach him and makes the lessons comfortable. He also allows we parents to sit in on the lessons, to learn alongside the student. This has great benefits for reinforcing concepts during practice time at home.
All in all, Saro is generous and understanding in a way that is refreshing in a young, cool (very capable) teacher. Sign up with Saro if he still has space!
Saro is an amazing guitarist and teacher. He is great with students and my son improved tremendously since he started studying with Saro.
Saro is amazing! It is rare that talent and being genuinely a good person go hand-in-hand. Thank you Saro for teaching my son how to play the guitar with patience, passion and expertise!
As a student of Saro’s, I have became the guitarist I have always wanted to be. I have worked with saro for over 2 years and I’m amazed by his ability to teach me such skill in a short period of time! Highly recommend him!
My teacher is great. He's always in a good mood, he motivates me to believe in myself and he answers all of my questions. Also, he takes the necessary time to teach me how to play the guitar and he walks me through the lessons until I accomplish my goals.
