Ricardo P.

Hi, my name is Ricardo! I am a musician born from a family of musicians. I have been a student of music for 6 years. Some of my biggest musical influences include Thelonious Monk and I also enjoy Bill Evans along with Jimi Hendrix. My teaching style can best be described as thorough and willing to explain concepts from different perspectives. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying that I truly believe every student at any musical level willing to learn has incredible untapped musical potential. In my lessons, you can expect to expand your knowledge of many different guitar playing styles, techniques, and how to apply both to music composition if requested. I like to tell my students that studying music is like studying a new language, with effort and willingness anyone can do it! My favorite thing about teaching is seeing how students grow and mature as musicians over time. My favorite performance was Jimi Hendrix's National Anthem cover at Woodstock. My students love that I am fully committed to each students success and growth as musicians. I primarily teach guitar, but I can also teach bass guitar and music composition. My approach as a teacher is to put myself in my students perspective to best explain musical techniques and concepts. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon to start your musical journey!
