About
Hello!
My name is Eugene Pugachov and I'm offering in-house acoustic and electric guitar lessons for students at any age and level from complete beginners to pro’s who would like to expand their knowledge in a particular style or develop some compositional skills.
I prefer working individualy with each student and set goals depending on ones musical background, level and taste.I tailor the teaching program to EVERY student and never use music books of any sort.I have developed my own effective teaching system that have worked very well with students of different ages and skills.
We can explore guitar in different styles such as rock, jazz, funk, country, soul, metal, ect.,and I would be more then happy to share my knowledge that I've gained over the years.
I mostly work around Brooklyn and Manhattan but other areas are negotiable upon request.
A little about myself.
I'm a professional musician with 15+ years of teaching experience.I have tought students in Ukraine, Poland, Germany and U.S.I have conducted master classes for professional teachers, college students both in person and via SKYPE.I have a Masters Degree in music and I'm a performing and recording artist.

Eugene was very patient, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. I am a beginner and was surprised he taught me to play a song in my first lesson. Thank you, Eugene, highly recommended.

Excellent experience for my son who began with Eugene at age 14 and still takes lessons at 15. Eugene is talented, patient, flexible and a 5 star teacher who also helped us upgrade equipment with price and quality in mind.

Gene is the teacher you can just dream of. He teach me the style of music that I have loved. He gave me confidence and I started playing from the very first lessons. Besides, he is very attentive and you will not get bored during the lessons. I’m glad that I found exactly Gene for learning guitar!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I usually do 1 hour lessons because in my experience 45 minutes is never enough.But if you prefer 45 min that’s ok with me too.I charge 5 dollars travel fee and we can make a deal if you’d like to do twice a week.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I try to understand the personality of a new student.His background and musical tastes.Also I always try to understand their short and long term goals or if the don’t know them I try to set them up together.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have graduated from Kharkov institute of arts which is in Ukraine.A also studied on post graduate programs in Poland and US.I have 12+ years teaching experience working in different music schools and doing private teaching.A few years ago I got into online teaching giving Skype lessons and workshops and also creating jazz guitar online instructional videos.
In addition to that I’m a professional jazz guitarist I work with different artists and take part in musical projects.I also lead my own jazz trio where we play my original compositions.
