Introduction: Lessons are tailored to each student's age, level and goals. I usually address a number of topics ranging from basic concepts such as open-position chords, as well as more advanced material (scales, soloing, chord inversions and improvisation). As a professional musician based in NYC, I have toured and recorded with Chris Morrissey (Norah Jones, Mark Guiliana), City of the Sun, and Blitz Bazawule among others. I’ve lead masterclasses and workshop at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura and at the Escuela de Jazz in Mexico City, and also at the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno (CZ). I have worked as a guitar and ensemble teacher with the following institutions in the NYC area: Ramaz Upper School, Manhattan; Ramaz Middle School, Manhattan; Yeshiva Ketana of Manhattan; P.S./I.S. 137 Rachel Jean Mitchell, Brooklyn; Brooklyn Music House, Brooklyn. 5% discount on 4 classes package booked and payed in advance.

Marco’s great, I have nothing but good things to say. He teaches technique and caters lessons to what you want out of it. It’s been fun and I’ve seen improvements in my playing.

I've had a wonderful experience taking lessons with Marco so far. He's extremely talented and makes sure to pack a lot in our 45 minute sessions together. I've been able to customize the lesson plan based on my playing level. Marco pushes me to learn new techniques while reinforcing what I like to play. I plan on taking more lessons with him in the future.

Marco is teaching me the theory with each lesson so I can figure out the songs myself. I get to learn the songs I enjoy to play. I always leave very energized and excited about the next class. I would recommend Marco to any friend wanting to learn guitar.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Marco to anyone. In just one Guitar lesson, he helped me fix all the issues I had in a short time I tried reaching myself. He was very patient, very knowledgeable and understanding. I had a lot of fun too!

I recently started taking guitar lessons with Marco. His classes, together with a steady practice routine on my own, gave results immediately. I'm already able to play some of my favorite songs although there's much to improve still :) Thank you!
