Guitar lessons
" Hi, how are you? I'm Mariano Telles, a musician and guitar teacher. If you've landed on this page, chances are you're in search of guitar lessons. Right below, you'll find more information about me, some testimonials from students who have studied with me, and also the outcomes of these lessons, with videos featuring some of my students.
I believe in a student-centered approach that doesn't view the learner as a blank slate to be filled with information but rather as an individual with their own tastes, goals, challenges, and prior knowledge. In this way, the student becomes an active participant in shaping the lessons, contributing to the choice of repertoire and the topics that pique their interest the most. My role is to act as a guide on this journey, curating the best information, organizing knowledge progressively, showing shortcuts, and helping to chart the path forward.
