Omar – Guitar

Level Taught:  beginner, intermediate, advanced

Every instrument has a voice within itself, and 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 the creative muscles.

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 privately for five years now and I am currently studying jazz guitar performance at Concordia University. I have performed with various bands around montreal in the last 3 years greatly focusing on live improvisation. My background consists of gypsy jazz, flamenco and prog rock. In the last 3 years I have greatly focused on Jazz and Neo-Soul.
