Ramiro Marziani

Hello there!

My name is Ramiro Marziani. I am a Professional Guitarist and Music Teacher based in New York City. I have over 17 years of teaching and performance experience, and I hold a degree from Berklee College of Music (Summa Cum Laude). 

Private instruction is something that I love and it fosters a deeper connection to music and to sharing. I teach Online and also in my Home Studio. My methodology is based around playing music from the start, to help you meet your goals, and develop a deeper personal interest and path to music an guitar. Having lived around the world, and a native speaker of English and Spanish, I have a diverse musical knowledge that allows me to be adaptable and flexible in many performance and teaching approaches.

Teaching for me is about finding a balance. The way I approach a lesson consists of focusing solely on the students goals and aspirations and working on that, but also demonstrating yourself to be a good musician and teacher who your student trusts and receives inspiration from. That said, I like to find out and sometimes predict what students would like to do with the guitar based on what I see, and start from there. Every lesson, there are one or two new concepts, technical or theoretical, that I believe will get my student to her/his goal. There are also songs based on my students preferences, which we use as a source to learn things like technique, chords, scales, singing, and more, depending on my students' aspirations. I like to end lessons with a summary of goals for the week, short and long term, and a jam or play along to close that week's material and solidify the concepts.
