My name is Raziel Gonzalez and I teach guitar lessons based in the practice of Body Mapping for all levels and styles. I have a Bachelor's of Music Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music where I studied with Sergio Assad and Lawrence Ferrara. I also studied with Tilman Hoppstock at the Akademie für Tonkunst in Darmstadt, Germany and have taken lessons from Pepe Romero, Grisha Goryachev, Marc Teicholz, and many more. As a registered trainee Licensed Body Mapping Educator with the Association of Body Mapping Education, I bring a unique and new approach to understanding not only the guitar, but also our body and how we use it when approaching the instrument. We do this by correcting and refining one's "body map" (one's physical self representation in the brain) to develop the ability to move freely and efficiently. Guitar is tough! We should seek to make it as easy as we can. You pick the style of music you'd like to play, I'll be in charge of establishing a strong technical foundation, a healthy and productive practice routine both mentally and physically, and help you achieve all of your goals when it comes to the guitar.
I teach students of all ages from beginner to advanced skill levels. I focus on a wide variety of techniques, musical styles, music theory, and even unconventional methods of playing guitar such as prepared guitar techniques all while developing a personalized lesson plan for each student that will put you on the fast track to becoming the guitar player you want to be.

PHILOSOPHY We teach students how to play music. We also teach them to play the music they want to play. We do not dictate or prescribe a single method or musical style. We work with parents/guardians and their children to individualize instruction through an emergent curriculum that incorporates the interests and goals of the student, this includes adult students as well. When teaching children we try to make it fun by focusing on musical pieces of their choice. In the process of learning to play, the children learn the fundamentals of rhythm, harmony, music theory, and the reading of music notation. We also encourage exposing children to diverse musical styles and genres, to increase their musical understanding and versatility, and to expand and enrich their repertoires. And parents are always welcome to sit in on private and group lessons. Music of course is not just kid stuff. We also excel at teaching adults. If you have taken lessons as a child and want to re-ignite your
