"I have progressed so fast and Manuel gives me good tips for the classical guitar. He is an amazing teacher and an extremely kind person - 10/10" - Adam
"I am lucky to have found Manuel as a guitar teacher. He is a professional guitarist performing at a very high level who has studied the teaching of music, also to a high level, at university.
Manuel creates a relaxed, low-stress atmosphere in his beautiful teaching studio and he is able to communicate with beginners, intermediate and advanced students at their own levels. In addition to my own experience I often witness the last few minutes of the lesson before mine, this student is close to 60 years younger than me, and the way Manuel adjusts his language and teaching is a sign of a really natural teacher.
My own playing has improved greatly in the year I have been studying with Manuel. I highly recommend him without reservation."
