About Me
Hello, my name is Alex. I started my music journey playing the piano back in 1997. Then, I decided to learn playing guitar as well. The guitar I’ve been playing it since 2001 and have played with a lot of different bands and genres (rock, indie, blues, country, folk, flamenco, classical music). The drums, I learned how to play them when I was in a 4 man band but our drummer moved to a different city. Since I’ve always been able learn songs by ear, playing the drums and coordination from the piano made it easy to learn how to play the drums. I would not consider myself and expert but I can definitely teach you the basics. The hardest song I can play on the drums would be “Brianstorm” from the Arctic Monkeys. I can definitely teach you basic and intermediate drum beats as well as coordination, but if you’re trying to learn jazzy, off beat, improvisation kind of beats I don’t have much knowledge about that. I have social media where you can see some of my videos. I mainly upload guitar videos since it’s the most portable instrument to carry around when I travel but as I mentioned before, I can definitely teach you how to play the piano (I believe I have a few piano videos on YouTube), bass, and drums as well. TikTok (ex), Instagram (iam_alejandro), and YouTube account (). Hope to meet you soon! Alex

What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

From learning basic chords and strumming patters to how to play guitar licks and implement them to improvise a solo on any key it’s in, flamenco rhythm strumming with percussion taps, claw technique, etc.


What to expect in my Drum Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

Percussion coordination is the most important thing that needs to be understood in order to play any kind of genre on the drums. It will be the main thing we will focus on. After learning the basics, you pick the song you’d like to learn and we will dissect it and you will learn how to play any song you like on the drums.


What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

You will learn the two hand coordination, if interested you will learn how to read a sheet music, or I can teach you how to learn to figure out the key of a song and play it by ear. You will also learn how to play scales and how to implement them onachord progression. Piano is one of the best instruments to learn how to play because it’s the most versatile since because of its huge range you can play almost every single note there is. For example, compared to a guitar, the piano can play a lot more octaves that are normally out of range for the guitar and it’s the main reason a bass is required in a band so that lower ranges can be played on a song. You could say that in a band the guitar is the right hand playing the piano playing its part and the bass issue left hand on the piano playing its part.
