Masterclasses

Imagine sitting down with your guitar, diving into the nuances of a Villa-Lobos étude, or finally nailing that tricky fingering in a Sor piece. My goal is to make those moments not just possible, but exciting—and to give you the tools to keep progressing long after the class ends.

Why a Masterclass with Me?

Learning the classical guitar is a journey, and having the right guide can make all the difference. My masterclasses aren’t just lessons—they’re immersive experiences that blend technical precision with musical expression. With years of performing and teaching under my belt, I’ve developed an approach that’s both practical and passionate, tailored to help you overcome obstacles and discover your unique voice on the instrument.

What I Offer

My masterclasses are all about flexibility and personalization. Whether you prefer a one-on-one deep dive or a group setting where you can learn alongside others, I’ve got options to suit your needs. Here’s what you can expect when you sign up:

• Customized Curriculum: Tell me your goals—mastering a specific piece, improving your tone, or building speed—and I’ll craft a session that targets your needs. My repertoire spans the classics (Bach, Tárrega, Barrios) to modern works, so we can explore whatever inspires you.
• Technique Tune-Up: From posture and hand positioning to nail care and articulation, I’ll help you refine the fundamentals that make a big difference in your playing.
• Musical Interpretation: Beyond the notes, we’ll dive into phrasing, dynamics, and storytelling—everything that turns a piece into a performance.
• Flexible Formats: Choose from private one-hour masterclasses, small group workshops (3-6 students), or even online sessions via video call. Each format is designed to give you focused attention and actionable feedback.
• Practice Strategies: I’ll share tips and exercises to make your practice time more effective, helping you progress faster between sessions.

Who Are These Masterclasses For?

No matter where you are in your guitar journey, there’s a place for you in my masterclasses. Here’s who I love working with:

• Advanced Students: Looking to perform or audition? I’ll guide you through professional-level pieces and interpretive finesse.
• Teachers and Enthusiasts: Want to deepen your understanding or pick up new teaching ideas? My masterclasses offer insights you can pass on or enjoy for yourself.
