Omar V. — Guitar Teacher — Montreal

Jazz Guitar Performance – Concordia University I started playing drums at the age of four, eventually finding my way to the guitar at the age of 10. Drums gave me a strong rhythmic foundation to music. Ever since then music has been my main study and pursuit in life. I have been teaching professionally for seven years now. I graduated from the Concordia jazz program in 2024. I have performed with various bands around Montreal in the last 3 years greatly focusing on live improvisation. My background consists of jazz, blues, Bossa nova, and flamenco.

Everyone has a musical mind. I believe that nurturing that voice musically is the best gift you can give yourself. I focus on internalization as an approach to learning music so it becomes a more natural process to work your creativity.
