Who These Lessons Are For
These lessons work especially well for students who:
• Are new to classical guitar and want a solid, musical foundation
• Are preparing for graded exams (RCM or equivalent) and want clear guidance
• Are adult learners returning to guitar after time away
• Already play guitar and want to expand technique, tone, and musical understanding through classical study
• Are looking for a challenging but rewarding artistic pursuit, not quick tricks or shortcutsYou do not need to be a professional — only curious, committed, and willing to work thoughtfully.
How Lessons Work
Each lesson is calm, focused, and intentional.
Rather than jumping randomly between pieces, lessons are structured to support long-term progress.A typical lesson may include:
• Technical work tailored to your level (posture, tone, right- and left-hand coordination)
• Guided work on repertoire chosen for musical value, not just difficulty
• Practice strategies to help you use your time efficiently
• Support with sight reading, musical interpretation, and confidence
• Exam preparation when relevant — without letting exams dominate your musical growthLessons are adapted to the individual. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
