He has given numerous classical and flamenco guitar recitals, and has accompanied many flamenco dancers, among them Carmen Mora and Curro Santana. He currently performs in the New York area as a classical and flamenco guitarist, and is a prominent teacher of guitar.

I studied with world famous virtuosos, and have been teaching all styles of guitar, popular – classical – flamenco, for thirty years. All of my students now play the guitar extremely well, and several have gone on to professional careers. I have received many highly favorable testimonials from my students.

Please feel free to call me during business hours to discuss my method of teaching, and to express your aspirations and goals as a musician. I teach with a friendly demeanor, which allows my students to feel comfortable and relaxed, and makes learning easy and fun, as it should be.
