About Me
I have been teaching saxophone and music since 2013, and I especially like to teach individual lessons, to look into what kind if music my students like and try to work with them with that material to improve their musical skills. My effort is to build a connection with my students and with their taste and direction in music, customizing the lesson towards their goals and ambitions.

I have a wide experience in terms of genres and music styles, as well as in terms of professional situations (live concerts, recording sessions, teaching online and in person, cruise ship gigs).

I am constantly writing new music and performing with my bands, I spend my time between Mexico and Italy at the moment, researching Mexican and latin traditional music, and composing, playing, teaching and recording as much as I can.

I have taught masterclasses and private lessons in Italy (Merano jazz festival), The Netherlands, Mexico (JazzUV - University of Veracruz; UNICACH - University of Chiapas).

Music is an art that gives great rewards if approached with passion and dedication, and it is a great feeling for a teacher to see that approach in a student!

PROFESSIONAL GUITARIST, COMPOSER, MUSIC AND GUITAR TEACHER

Beginner-Advanced Level

Experience:
I am a professional musician and have been teaching students of all ages for over 20 years. My experience as a teacher and my pursuit of self-improvement as a musician have led me to develop an effective method that I have already tested with over a hundred students.
Throughout my career I had the satisfaction of studying with great masters of different specialties or styles, each one emphasizing different aspects of flamenco, classical or modern guitar and each one has given me their approach (technique, rhythms, accompaniment, harmony, etc.), which has led me after years of study and compilation to take the best from each one to develop my method.

My role in my classes is more that of a personal trainer than a teacher, where I will be very attentive to bringing out the best in my students, finding the right technique to help them develop a good rhythm, working on their rhythm, etc.
For me, the role of a teacher, in addition to teaching, is to be part of a team, to maintain morale and constantly improve oneself while always maintaining a love for music.

Methodology:
I tailor the lessons to the student's level, style, or goals. Generally, the first half of the lesson is dedicated to technique, focusing on proper placement, execution, and relaxation, which will result in a good sound. Over time, I've realized that it's also a way to connect with the guitar, concentrate, and warm up. So, little by little, we'll develop our routine, which will begin by working on basic rhythmic aspects.
The second half is dedicated to playing, trying to put into practice what we learned about the technique with the sticks or studying other concerns of the student, which may be a theme, harmony, falsetas, improvisation, or even other styles, etc., always obviously taking into account the search or interest of the student.


FLAMENCO
- Flamenco technique
- Palos (Tangos, Bulerías, Alegrías, Soleá, Taranta...)
- Accompaniment to singing and dancing
- Clapping and rhythms

MODERN GUITAR
- Harmony
- Improvisation
- Repertoire (rumbas, pop, jazz, rock, etc.)

CLASSIC
- Reading, solfège and interpretation.
- Works
- I work with progressive learning books

Most jazz piano teachers offer you a weekly video call and wish you luck until next week. I offer something different. Over the past six years, I've built a structured teaching system for adults who are serious about learning jazz piano properly — whether you're a working professional who's always loved jazz and finally has time to learn, or a classically trained musician ready to break free from the page and start improvising.

What makes my approach different:
Every student gets access to an interactive practice platform with exercises you can work through between lessons — tension identification, voicing construction, ear training, and more. These aren't PDFs or YouTube links, they're purpose-built tools that track your progress and adapt to your level. On top of that, I design personalised weekly practice routines for each student. You'll always know exactly what to practise, how long to spend on it, and what "ready to move on" sounds like. No guessing, no wasted practice time.

My methodology is ear-first. We build strong harmonic foundations through shell voicings before moving to complex concepts. You learn to hear the music before you theorise about it. This is how jazz was always meant to be learned — by listening, not just reading.

Who I work with best:
— Professionals in other fields who love music and want to learn jazz piano for the pure enjoyment of it. You have limited time but real ambition. I respect that and structure everything to make your practice hours count.
— Classically trained pianists who want to understand jazz harmony, stop depending on sheet music, and develop the confidence to improvise. I know this transition well and I have a clear path for it. What a typical month looks like: Weekly lessons via video call (frequency and duration would be according to students needs), tailored to your current goals and level. Between lessons, you have your practice routine and full access to the exercise platform. I track your activity and adjust the plan based on what I see. It's not a course you follow passively — it's an ongoing, personalised programme.
