I have been teaching guitar throughout Maryland for over 25 years. I teach full time in my private studio conveniently located in the northern section of Roland Park (at the dividing line of Baltimore County and Baltimore City). In addition to offering private lessons, I have been teaching at Loyola College in Maryland since 2000. Having played the guitar from an early age, I have played various styles such as jazz, rock, contemporary, classical, blues, standards, funk, 50's, 60's, 70's up to the present. I specialize in improvisation, fingerboard theory, repertoire and chord melody. My lifetime dedication to teaching, playing and research has led me to my own tried and proven method to move a student from a beginning level to that of an advanced player in a very short period of time �" regardless of one's age or experience

Andreu Martinez

Born: 1978

The young guitarist/composer from Barcelona, Andreu Martinez, brings a highly original blend of jazz-funk-fusion-rock-crossover and is certainly one of the most versatile and powerful musicians nowadays. His influences vary from great artists like BB King, Wes Montgomery and Jeff Beck to Muse, Coldplay or Aerosmith. From his 14th he absorbs everything from the jazz, blues and rock scene. He enters Barcelona’s “Aula de Jazz y Musica Moderna in 1994, graduating a year later with honours and begins his professional career playing with numerous groups on the local scene. He soon begins experimenting with the fusion of jazz with blues, rock and funk, discovering more contemporary musicians such as Bill Frisell, Scott Henderson, Pat Metheny and Robben Ford who have a great influence on him. In 2001 he moves to New York to broaden his musical knowhow and learn from the musicians in the big apple, and on his return from the states he records his first album "Senyales de Vida" (K-Industria) with his band, the ANDREU MARTINEZ PROJECT, with Jordi Franco on bass and Pere Foved on drums
