I encourage my students to do a practice routine every day of the week.

Testimonials
Caroline:
I started studying with Rafael about a year ago, and
have really enjoyed taking classical guitar lessons from him. He
combines top-notch training and performance ability with a personable,
and patient, attitude toward his students. I also love the music I am
learning and have seen great improvements in my playing ability since I
started studying with Rafael.
Noah:
You have been the greatest teacher and a great influence
on me. I am not the same guitar player I was before I met you.
