I've been playing music my entire life, a beacon of light through all the ups, down and arounds.
The charango came into my life in 2003 on a visit to Bolivia.
Respect to the charango’s cultural context, cosmovision and the traditional music associated with the instrument.

Come on board, take some lessons, join a singing circle, tap in to your song!
I work primarily with medicine songs and create easy-to-read arrangements and TABs..
I create exercises that guide you in understanding the fretboard, in fingerpicking, improvising and using double stops technique,
To breathe and play in the present moment. In Kay Pacha.
The style I teach is well adapted for supporting meditative states, processes during plant medicine ceremonies, as an offering and prayer.
