What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

I have an organized and progressive teaching method, but I am not into prefabricated, over-structured classes. The teaching style really depends on the goals and motivations of the student. I provide an array of guitar materials, books, and scores in PDF. Total beginners or advanced, and experienced players are welcome alike. I also usually write notes after each lesson to summarize what to focus on for the following lesson; this helps keeping your practice well-organized and with clear objectives. Guitar can be easy if you have the right attitude! Being a good listener, my love for the guitar, and lots of patience are the main assets I rely on for teaching. These lessons may also include custom-made short videos to help your practice. I have an academic and classical background, but I also teach Flamenco, Tango, Folklore, and other Latin American music styles as well. PDF materials and asynchronous teaching is included in the tuition besides the live lessons (Lessons are online only).

Cristóbal is a great teacher, he made sure everything was broken down into small pieces so that I could understand, and he's also very patient! He came prepared with lots of material to work on, and it's obvious that he's a passionate musician and teacher. I recommend him! Muchas gracias por todo, y nos vemos pronto!

      Reviewing progress throughout the year, I noticed extremely positive progression. The professor always has a positive comment and is conducive to allowing the student to progress. Very happy with my year in review. Jose M. wrote on Mon, 30 Nov -0001

        I cannot be more pleased with my lessons with Cristobal. His relaxed style creates an easy environment with which to learn from him. His focus on perfecting my technique is exactly what I was searching for in a tutor. I look forward to each lesson, and he inspires me to practice diligently. I am very happy to call him my teacher.

          Cristobal is an excellent teacher. He knows how to guide step by step. He is always punctual and prepared. I feel that he customizes lessons just for me. He very quickly identifies my problem areas and always seems to have a solution. I am a complete beginner at Classical guitar and sight-reading music, but in the last few months of lessons with Cristobal i am already playing some beautiful pieces and feel confident that i have a path and teacher that can take me as far as i want. Many thanks Kevin C. wrote on Mon, 30 Nov -0001
