And the authorship for musical technical material of:
• 2021 Author of the book "Scalas, Chords and Arpeggios, transcribed into sheet music for classical guitar"
• 2021 Author of the "Step-by-step manual to build scales and their modes" (In process)
In the words of my composition teacher Pablo Freire: "... to learn to un-draw, you must first learn to draw" It is impossible for a student of any level to try to improve, or have their own style if they do not know the theoretical-technical foundation on their instrument technique or composition. My teaching style starts from the particular need of each student to have agile fingers, a trained ear and an important historical background that allows them to know what the public expects from each performance, according to the style, musical period and technique applied.
Only after these bases are resolved, the student will free and will be able to assume challenges and with a right criteria to be able to compose, arrange, or interpret any work, in any style and musical genre.
The classes, apart from having a theoretical-technical foundation, will always be accompanied by a repertoire according to what is being learned, in such a way that the student becomes aware of the importance of their technical development.
Everything that is taught will be subject to a clear and precise demonstration, attending to the technique, examples and exercises inside and outside the instrument that allow the student to contrast what can be achieved with a good technique versus an execution without technique.

Each class will begin with a review of the previous knowledge of the new student, or of the previous lesson with the students enrolled, the guideline will be given to advance and improve, and will continue with the new knowledge, each instrument will have material in pdf so that the student can work at home during the days that he/she does not have class. There will always be a line of contact open to resolve any matter that prevents the student from carrying out their study in a correct and organized manner.
