Homework
1-2 hours per week. The only way to learn music is by practicing. The homework for each week will be to practice at least a minimum of 15 minutes per day. Remember, the more each student practices, the faster they learn.Class Experience
In our class, students will become excellent guitar players! Classes can be taught in English or Spanish. Students can be from any level, from beginners who had never played before to advanced students. We will cover subjects like technique, chords, scales, reading tabs, sight-reading, and most important of all, song learning. Here is the class structure. The student will choose songs they want to play. For each song, I will teach them the necessary techniques needed to play the song. This way they will apply all the techniques and knowledge in an organic way. As each student progresses and learns more songs, they will become better musicians and more proficient in the instrument. My teaching style is based on positive reinforcement. It is important to me that students have fun and enjoy our lesson time as they learn. In class, I use professional audio equipment, professional video lighting, and two different cameras. I can switch between the cameras at any time in the lesson, that way the students can get a clear view of the instrument when I am showing giving them examples. On the screen, I am also able to annotate and highlight the material that we are learning. The class is very interactive, at any time in the lesson, students can ask me questions. The goal is that they understand everything we cover in class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Associate's Degree in Music from Miami Dade College
Hello! My name is Julian. I have been a music teacher for over a decade. I graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in music education and performance degree. As a professional musician, I have experience recording, gigging, doing studio sessions, and was a music director for many years. I've had students of all ages, cultures, and personalities. I focus my lessons on positive reinforcement, meaning that I want my students to feel welcome, comfortable, and have a positive experience in our classroom. Music should be fun, and I make sure my students see it that way! In my classroom, I also use professional lighting and audio equipment. I use two different webcams so that my students can see the instruments from different angles. I am currently offering lessons in acoustic guitar, electric guitar, classical guitar, ukulele, bass, and music theory. I will also provide all the material for each of the classes. If any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.
