Welcome from Luis:

Hi! My name is Luis, and I’m a guitarist, pianist and composer. I’m really passionate about exploring music in a collaborative way. My teaching method involves an evidence-based approach in which students build long term memory of desired skills and good habits – all with an emphasis on ear training. The aim is for students to be engaged and to critically think for themselves to reach their fullest potential (i.e. students become their own teachers, so to say). I believe that music, like any artform, requires discipline, but it should also be fun and exciting.
