I was born in Alicante, Spain, in 1973 and started playing guitar at the age of 13.


My first instrument was a nylon string guitar, and I later got an electric guitar.

 

Initially, I was interested in Rock and Pop music, but eventually, I broadened my repertoire to include other styles, such as Blues, Heavy, Folk, and Jazz.


At 15, I began Classical Guitar studies at Alicante's Conservatoire, where I also studied other subjects, including Reading Standard Notation, Harmony, Acoustics, Transposition, Music History, Music Aesthetics, Pedagogy, Chamber Music, Ensemble, and Choir.


I was a member of the Conservatoire's Choir for four years as a tenor.


I finished my studies as a qualified Guitar Teacher and Instrumentalist. My degree is comparable to a British Bachelor (Honours) degree standard.

 
 

My Guitar Teacher Degree and my studies' comparability by UK NARIC.

 

While studying at the Conservatoire, I also played guitar in several local Rock bands and was involved in various projects as a musician.


My first Electric Guitar lessons were with Paco García, and later, I studied Electric Guitar and Modern Harmony for several years with Thierry Laforge.


I also attended several Master Classes with prestigious Spanish Guitarists, including Salvador Domínguez, Porty, Jose de Castro "Jopi," Francisco Simón, and Chema Vilchez.


I have been teaching guitar privately for 20 years and have taught other subjects, including Modern Harmony, Computer Music, Songwriting, Reading Music, Music Theory, Electric Bass, and Ukulele.


I have also taught at the Villena Culture Centre, "Áula de Música y Técnicas de Arte," and "Da Cappo Schola" in Alicante.


In 2002, I moved to Madrid, where I continued studying Modern Electric Guitar and Harmony at the Musicians Institute, with Jose Manuel Lorenzo, and at the "Escuela de Música Creativa," with Pablo Fernández-Arrieta.

I also studied two years with Felix Sántos at "Academia Jazz Ateneo."

 
 

In 2002, I moved to London, where my degree was recognized, and I received a "Qualified Teacher Status."


I worked in London as a private guitar teacher full time and collaborated as a musician. During this time, I was involved in the soundtrack for the movie "Body Armour," as a composer and guitarist. Additionally, I collaborated as a songwriter in James Keo's first album, produced by Martin Hoj, writing the music for the song "Of Poetry."


In 2007, I moved to Dublin, where I taught guitar privately for six months before moving back to Alicante, Spain. There, I taught full-time and worked on several projects, which you can listen to in the Audio section of my website.


I decided to move back to London in July 2014, where I worked as a full-time self-employed guitar tutor, and as a visiting teacher at Clifton Lodge School.
