- LESSONS PROGRAM -
The main goal is for each student to be able to shape his own style, creating a program that suits in the best way his aspirations as a guitarist / musician. From the first class, students will be able to present their objectives (in an abstract or specific way), helping to create a set of goals and a work plan.
Below you can see, as orientation, several examples in various areas of study, which can be modified to a greater or lesser extent depending on elements such as the style and goals of each student.

Deverlop your repertoire
Learn to perform musical works in a variety of styles, or become proficient in the genre that you like the most. I will help you get past the barriers usually found when learning a piece of music, and work on different aspects related to the interpretation of music.
Develop a melodic and harmonic vocabulary that suits the style or styles that interest you. Analyse compositions and melodic fragments from your favourite musicians and assimilate the different techniques used in their music.
Applying the concepts learned: You will be able to compose pieces of music, or spontaneously create solos or musical ideas that you will be able to use in songs or in musical settings.
Improving your technical ability: Playing music composed by other musicians puts our skills to the test, and will make us aware of what are our weaknesses, making us grow as performers.
