"Learn Music from a Musicians Institute Graduate with 20+ Years of Experience

Hi, I’m Rene, a professional musician and educator with over 20 years of experience teaching students of all ages and skill levels. I graduated from the Musicians Institute, one of the world's top contemporary music schools, where I trained in performance, theory, and pedagogy.

I was the former lead guitarist for Masters of Puppets, an international touring act that brought Metallica’s music to audiences worldwide. I also had the honor of singing five minutes after jazz legend Herbie Hancock at the 50K Lions of Justice Festival, performing for 60,000 people at a world peace event.

What I Teach

-Guitar (Rock, Metal, Jazz, Bossa Nova & more)

-Piano (Classical, Pop, Jazz, Improvisation)

-Voice (Technique, style, stage presence)

-Bass Guitar (Groove, technique, and theory)

-Ukulele (Fun & easy-to-learn approach)

-Ear Training (Developing pitch, intervals, and musical intuition)

-Music Theory (Harmony, composition, improvisation)

Teaching Experience & Approach

I have been teaching for 15+ years, working one-on-one and in group settings with students of all ages. My experience includes private lessons, classroom instruction, online teaching (Lessonface, Superprof), and mentoring musicians for auditions and performances.

My approach is personalized to fit each student’s goals, balancing strong fundamentals with real-world application. I focus on:

-Hands-on learning – Play real music from day one.

-Encouragement & motivation – Confidence-building techniques.

-Structured yet flexible lessons – A clear path tailored to your needs.
