The Art of Teaching
Carlos Aguilar has been developing a unique approach to learning for the past 25 years, which combines historical as well as theoretical insights that allow students to easily and clearly understand music theory with an emphasis on “how” and “why” rather that just pointing out the facts. Balancing standard methodology with original compositions, we explore technique and artistry in a groundbreaking and enlightening way.
