About

Hello! I am a Swiss/Indian guitarist, composer/arranger, and educator who has a Bachelors from Berklee College of Music and a Masters from Berklee Valencia.

I come from a classical guitar background, but have studied, Blues, Rock, Jazz, Flamenco, Arabic music, and many forms of classical music. I am obsessed with learning different styles of improvisation from around the world which help me compose and perform.

Together we can build a lesson that works best for you!

Teaching Style

Heavily based on Oral tradition (call and response, repetition), but grew learning how to sight read at a high level.

My teaching style is whatever works best for the student. Each student has a unique way of learning, and I feel it is my job to cater my style of teaching to help them in the best way possible!

I always push my students to achieve their best, but in a respectful way with plenty of opportunities to share jokes and omit any pressure felt by the student.

Curriculum

Unique Oral/Aural methodology based from musical cultures from around the world
