Nicolas - Know your guitar teacher

"Hello! I'm Nicolas, a versatile instrumental musician, composer, producer, and experienced music educator. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Music and am currently pursuing a Master's in Music Production. I'm passionate about creating meaningful sound experiences and sharing my knowledge.  For years, I've successfully taken students from 0 to intermediate and advanced guitar levels, and have taught music theory in group classes. I also elaborated the electric guitar music program for personalized lessons at Academia de Música Mateo Carcassi. Additionally, I designed the rock guitar program curriculum and assisted 90+ college students to play a rock repertoire at Universidad Pedagógica Nacional.  Whether you're starting from scratch or aiming for advanced skills, I can help you develop a personalized learning experience! Let's get you playing the music you love.

Guitar lessons quick guide

My approach centers on making music learning interactive, enjoyable, and relevant to the student's goals. I believe that passion for music drives progress, so my lessons are designed to be fun, interesting, and tailored to your interests.  Key Pillars: 1. Repertoire-Driven Learning: We won't just learn scales; we'll apply concepts directly to the music you love, whether it’s rock, pop, or classical. This provides immediate motivation and makes lessons stick.  2. Practical & Theoretical Balance: I'll take you from 0 to advanced levels by blending hands-on playing with essential music theory and harmony, making abstract concepts concrete.  3. Ensemble Experience: For group sessions, I focus on developing music ensembles in different styles, helping you collaborate and understand the role of your instrument in a band. This builds confidence and real-world skills.  From composing a repertoire for beginners to guiding college students through a full rock program, my goal is to create a meaningful sound experience through teaching and collaboration. Let's make learning guitar exciting!
