Classical guitar weaves into my daily life like the essentials of eating and sleeping. Across cultures, languages, and musical genres, the rhythm within music remains constant. Rhythm, a foundational cornerstone of music, finds a distinct expression through the classical guitar, uniquely able to harmonize melodies and accompaniments. A key mission of mine is nurturing my students' rhythm, a force that propels them through both their musical journey and life's path. Amidst musical mishaps, the rhythm shouldn't falter, a principle I emphasize rigorously.
In tandem, I devote meticulous attention to posture and technique. The classical guitar, akin to many instruments, feels foreign to our physicality. Guiding students to cultivate their body's well-being—relaxing hands, back, shoulders, and countenance—is paramount. I'm resolute in establishing a safe haven where students anticipate the joys of classical guitar playing and learning. As the spark of delight ignites, practice extends seamlessly beyond the classroom, anticipation for lessons kindles. This symbiotic relationship between enthusiasm and learning organically takes root.
I have just graduated with a bachelor of Music Education from the University of Toronto.
I have played classical guitar since I moved to Canada when I was 10 years old. I studied with Frank Deresti, an energetic and rigorous conservatory teacher , until the age of 18. At the University, I studied under Rob MacDonald and Jeffrey McFadden, two of the best classical guitarists in the country. I have learned a tremendous amount of repertoire and technique, as well as have had the privilege of playing in a guitar ensemble for 12 years. In my time in Toronto, I have met amazing teachers and colleagues who have pushed me to be a strong guitar player and teacher.
-Participated and won multiple Kiwanis' festivals -Opened for a Guitar Society of Toronto concert -Participated in shield competitions -Have a little 10 year old brother that I have been teaching since the day he was born. I've learned to be very patient, kind and fun with kids.
