Notes from my Students

R

Rafael, New York

After a year of lessons, I've greatly improved thanks to Roberta's dedication and guidance. Coming from a rock and metal background, her tips on technique and interpretation have made a big difference. I highly recommend her as a classical guitar teacher!

Roberta is an incredible teacher! I have had a few guitar teachers in my years of taking lessons and Roberta is up there with the best (and my favorites). I have grown so much in a such a short time with her and I am excited to see where the next lessons take us. Her keen eye and perceptiveness always catch things that someone with less experience does not - she catches mistakes and imperfections very quickly. This results in quicker growth and early catches. Her sense of musicality is impeccable and her overall philosophy of guitar as an instrument reflects a deep love and understanding. I have learned a lot not just about nylon string guitar as an instrument, but the art of music it self. I think anyone that wants to take their musicality and playing to another level should take lessons with Roberta! As with any great art and teacher, you must practice and take the advice/direction to heart! Roberta is the guide for this!

Roberta is a joyful and masterful guitar teacher that you will wish you had in your life sooner! She knows how to be thoughtful and thorough; how to challenge and yet guide at the same time. I used to think that I wasn’t cut out to learn music or play it—but she has showed me that it is possible to start at complete beginner to be on my way to mastering the instrument. She makes the process of learning guitar enjoyable yet understandable. Every lesson, she meets me where I am at with kindness and I know she will do the same for you. I highly recommend Roberta as a teacher in your guitar journey.

Jay, New York

"Roberta brings so many amazing qualities as a teacher - she is patient but will spontaneously get excited for a new idea in how to practice a passage; is kind and offers compliments but simultaneously is demanding of a high level of execution. Her creativity as shown in her unique Ponce interpretations are what I was first drawn to; she shows similar creativity in her teaching. She also brings a lightness, humor to the lessons. But be forewarned: you will be expected to work hard and be very focussed during the lesson."

Emily, Toronto

From the very first lesson, Roberta's passion for teaching is clear. She tailors each session to your needs, helping you refine technique and bring more expression into your playing. Thanks to her guidance, I feel more confident and connected to my music.

My teaching philosophy

I believe that anyone can learn and grow as a guitarist, no matter their starting point or age. Progress is always possible with the right mindset and approach.

Passion is the driving force behind great music—it keeps you motivated and makes learning a joyful experience. However, passion alone isn't enough.

A solid technical foundation is essential; with the right setup and technique, you gain the freedom to express yourself fully and play with confidence.

My goal is to help you build that balance between skill and artistry, so you can enjoy making music at your best.
