Personalised Path
Knowing where to go and what to do on the guitar can be super confusing. We reach a point and sometimes we just don’t know how to make any progress.
Together we’ll develop a progress path to achieve your goals in the least amount of time possible.
Repertoire Building
Many guitar players reach saturation and cannot seem to add any new pieces to their list. Many pieces lay half-finished; abandoned due to overly ambitious goal setting and a lack of technical facility.
As a team we will ensure that you will significantly add to your repertoire, using pieces that align with the personalised learning path.

What Students Are Saying
— Francisco Galan
“What looks impossible is possible with your help. My father played this one (Asturias) well and again did not teach it to me…Mangore was his teacher! Gracias señor de nuevo!”
— Cassie Kohr
“You actually taught me my first classical guitar song - Minuet in G. I was able to play it and others for my mom while she was sick. It changed our time on this Earth together and made it much more peaceful. So, thank you for that.”
— Lil Cicero
“This guy has so much f*#king style…the man has elegance, and passion and poise; clearly adores the music with the same simple devotion that small children are fascinated by the sound of running water, even though his understanding of the technicalities of music are impeccable.”

What a Typical Lesson Looks Like
A simple, clear flow so students know exactly what to expect in every session.
-
We begin with 3–7 minutes focusing on posture, relaxed positioning, and precise right/left hand control to build a strong technical base.
-
15–35 minutes dedicated to targeted work on a single piece or challenging passage, with slow practice, clear fingering, and musical intent.
-
A short but powerful segment to develop phrasing, dynamic contrast, and tonal variety, bringing the music to life.
-
You’ll leave with concise, actionable steps tailored to your week, including smart repetitions, checkpoints, and small wins to keep you motivated.
