About Gabriel
I hold a Master's degree in classical guitar from Indiana University and separate Master's degree in composition for film from New York University. I've worked as a professional musician for over 15 years doing a combination of teaching, performing, audio engineering, recording soundtracks for film and TV, and everything in between. Most recently you might have heard my guitar/bass/ukulele/mandolin playing on the CBC show "Moonshine" or on the TVO documentary "The Long Weekend." My personal favorite music is rock, classical and film music, but I love anything and everything that can spark my interest. I'm a relatively new Torontonian and I'm slowly getting to know everything this city has to offer.

I'm interested in helping you get where you want to go. By getting to know you, your musical taste, and your expectations, we'll create a custom learning path. You'll gradually and methodically strengthen your fundamentals while mastering the songs, solos, and the repertoire you've always wanted to play. We will build you up into a knowledgeable and proficient player without sacrificing the pleasure and passion in music.
During our first lesson we'll talk about what you might already know, what you want to know and where you want to go. We'll get you started on some quick exercises to get your fingers moving and nimble. We'll also decide on the first piece of real music for you to start learning.
During our second lesson we'll reinforce the exercises from the first lesson and we might add some new ones on top of them. Then we'll dive right into the music of your choice. I'll teach you not just how to play it, but also how to practice it so that you can progress during your own time.
During our third lesson we'll make sure your finger exercises are progressing properly and then we'll keep drilling down on the music you're learning. We'll build on top of what we already had and add new sections or techniques to it. We will also start adding music theory in order to deepen your understanding of music. This can mean anything from basic solfege to advanced theory concepts both on and off the instrument.
The best part of teaching music is learning about my students' musical tastes and getting to know new music through them! With that said, I specialize in classical, rock, pop, flamenco, film music, theory, composition, and digital production. I look forward to getting know you!

I have known Gabriel for over 10 years and can confidently say he is one of the most dedicated, versatile musicians out there. As a guitar teacher, he goes above and beyond to prepare each lesson according to the student's level and goals. Gabriel is skilled in playing and teaching all genres whether it be rock, pop, musical, classical or flamenco. Furthermore, his background as a session guitarist and audio engineer has given him a unique perspective on music outside of performing including writing for film & television, sound design, and mixing & mastering. We have collaborated on many projects together and each time I am thrilled with what he brings to the table. Gabriel has an abundance of creative and technical knowledge to share and you will not regret having him as your teacher!
I highly recommend Gabriel to everyone who is interested in learning to play the guitar and learning about music. He's been playing and composing for many years and has a fresh and unique approach. As a musician he is knowledgeable and very talented. As a person he's patient, creative, funny and smart. He can easily adapt the class to suit the needs and wants of his students. You will enjoy every second of it.
I have known Gabriel for over 20 years. I first met him when he started to learn music and how to play classical guitar. I have seen him grow and become a professional within the music industry.
As a teacher he first focuses on understanding what the student is looking for, expectations and aspirations. He structures and organizes the course accordingly and personalizes the content. At the same time he incorporates interesting material to open the student´s mind to new things. He is charismatic and fun to work with.
One time I was preparing a concert for a small group of people and I was having difficulty with a few things. Knowing that I only had one week left, he offered to see my every day and he shared a few tips on how to practice. The last day before the concert we didn´t even practice, we just talked about things that allowed me to relax and feel confident. Everything went very well.
The reasons why I recommend Gabriel to other music or guitar teachers are 1) his passion for music, 2) his sense of responsibility and care for his students, and 3) his well-rounded experience in many different aspects of music that go beyond playing an instrument. Because of the above he has been able to coach and guide many of his students and open their eyes to opportunities and possibilities they had not considered before.
In summary: well-rounded, professional, dedicated, fun and enjoyable.Gabriel has dedicated his career to building, cultivating and improving the pedagogical skills necessary to teach and guide students of all levels. His experience pedagogy and expertise are broad as they spans across classical and popular idioms, composition, western music theory, audio technology, and production. More than a skilled and sensitive guitarist, Gabriel is a compelled artist, musician, and teacher: He has a commitment to knowledge and pegadogy through which he solves problems and guides students to achieve their goals.
