Years of Experience: 6 Location Options: In Home, In Webcam Travel Radius: 25 Age Groups: Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Guitar Lessons,Vocal Lessons,Song Writing Lessons Overview: Hola. Me llamo Carlos y soy músico, guitarrista y cantautor Cubano. A la edad de 15 años tuve por primera vez una guitarra en mis manos, a los 16 hice mi primera canción y desde entonces forma parte indisoluble de mi vida; como una extensión de mi alma. Estudié música con los profesores más prominentes y experimentados de la ciudad en la que vivía logrando acumular una gran cantidad de conocimiento que luego pondría en práctica en mi carrera profesional por más de 10 años como director de dos agrupaciones de música popular y fusión alternativa. Escribo, canto, arreglo y acompaño mis propias canciones además de tener una amplia experiencia comprobable en el sector de la pedagogía y enseñanza artística musical. Tengo el placer de haber enseñado a muchos jóvenes, adultos y personas mayores a desarrollar las habilidades necesarias para que disfruten de su talento a todos los niveles al punto de que hoy muchos de mis discípulos tienen carreras profesionales en la música y viven de ella. El programa que propongo por su demostrada efectividad en relación al tiempo, habilidad y desarrollo del estudiante hace necesario abarcar de forma estrictamente necesaria pero muy elemental temas relacionados con la Teoría musical, Solfeo, y Armonía tradicional aplicada a la Guitarra. Aunque solo estarímos abordando conceptos básicos de cada materia, la modificación de dicho programa podría afectar la calidad del conocimiento y la velocidad a la que aprendan los estudiantes, aunque el programa es flexible y se pueden hacer modificaciones y ajustes en función de los objetivos y las características del estudiante. Te prometo una magnífica aventura a través del camino de la música mientras descubrimos juntos la mejor forma de maximizar tu talento y tus propias inquietudes artísticas y musicales. Será un placer ayudarte a alcanzar tus objetivos. Gracias por darte una vuelta por mi perfil. Regístrarte ahora para programar una reunión. Espero que nos podamos conocer pronto.

I took private saxophone lessons with Gil when I was a student at Bowdoin College from 1. Gil was an excellent and formative teacher for me, and I have no doubt that he would be an excellent fit for your position. My weekly lessons with Gil were among the best music education experiences I have had. Gil has an extensive knowledge of the saxophone and saxophone repertoire, and he has a clear vision of how he wants every piece or assignment to sound. His teaching style felt very personally-tailored; rather than use a one-size-fits-all approach to things like embouchure and technique, Gil was willing to leave things alone that he felt worked for my approach, even if they weren’t entirely conventional. Gil also helped me to become a better composer; he encouraged me to bring drafts of compositions to my lessons, and he was always willing to give helpful feedback. On a personal level, Gil is one of the most entertaining teachers I have encountered. Our strong rapport was one of the most important reasons that his teaching was so effective for me; I felt consistently challenged but never badgered or belittled, and I always looked forward to going to lessons. Moreover, Gil always invited me to bring in whatever jazz I was listening to at the time, and I always appreciated his willingness to act as a sounding board to help me figure out what it was I liked about various artists. I grew immensely as a musician over my four years of college, and Gil was one of the major reasons why. I also had the opportunity to learn of Gil’s passion for music education in his day job as a primary and secondary school music teacher. He has run seemingly every type of ensemble, be it chorus, concert band, jazz band, or bell choir. He’s passionate about the students, about teaching, and about sharing his love of music. In short, I wholeheartedly recommend Gil for your position. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.
