Teaching Experience in detail in Guitar Classes
Hello. I have been playing the guitar professionally since the year 1988 and teaching since around 1993. Besides teaching guitar I compose music for various requirements such as ad and corporate films and produce music for independent artistes. I use a variety of techniques which help my students to play tunes within the first couple of sessions besides actually learning the intricacies in an easy and fun way. Besides guitar I also incorporate vocal training for those interested. I offer a free consultation/demo class so that the future student is aware and comfortable with my teaching methods and can make an informed decision before enrolling. Do feel free to call and schedule a free demo session. All the best!

"Sebastian's way of teaching is impressive. He makes sure that the student understands the basics first before jumping into playing. His teaching methodology is very unique and the class notes are very detailed and easily interpret-able. I highly recommend Sebastian for students in any level (beginner/intermediate/advanced). "

"Sebastian seems to have perfected the art of sharing knowledge (as opposed to teaching), by breaking it down and presenting it in the simplest way possible. Being a mother of a 7 year old girl, I am used to the short attention spans and mood swings little children go through, but my daughter just loves the sessions and diligently practices what she has learnt. It is a joy to listen to her sing so well and with confidence with his training and support. A very genuine person truly passionate about what he obviously does so well! "

"Sebastian Sir is a highly skilled musician and instructor with a huge amount of patience. There is a sense of calm and peace during the sessions and it is almost like a meditation. He got me to sing and play the guitar though I had enrolled only for guitar classes and I can definitely say that if he could get me to understand music and sing and play the guitar, then surely anyone can sing or play an instrument. I highly recommend Sebastian Sir. "

"Mr Sebastian is a perfect teacher and a thorough gentleman. His experience and maturity is something that is rare to come by these days. We were extremely happy with the way he taught our child the nuances of western vocal singing. He has a way of dealing with children that makes them extremely comfortable and bring out their very best. We really liked his sincerity and dedication as a teacher and the efforts he puts in honing talent. A perfect teacher and a guide to have! "
Pallavi Laad
"Sabs Music is the ideal platform to learn strumming the guitar. An ideal mix of theory and practicals make Sabs Music an absolute go-to guitar training facility! Sebastian sir is one of the most patient instructors I have come across. I would definitely recommend him. "
Rajul
"Excellent learning, superb coaching. He makes it so interesting that it goes way beyond just learning the notes on the fret board. Music becomes an experience rather than just learning to play an instrument. "
Rajul
"Very Nice Teacher. Made it very comfortable and easy to learn to play. It has been 3 years but I can still remember and play although I don't get much time to practice. "
Rajul
"Like any course, music learning is also dependent on pedagogy. Sebastian sir makes it so easy to understand the various music concepts governing playing of guitar. He uses a very structured approach customized based on student's learning speed and grasp. Before joining Sabs classes I had tried learning guitar once at another place, but all I learned was few songs which I obviously forgot over time as I was never taught the concepts. Here at Sabs classes it's like learning a mathematical concepts: once concepts are clear, questions automatically fall in place. Mostly the lessons are one on one and provides a good mix of theory and practical. Each class is followed by emailed material which further helps in practice and honing the understanding. Days and timing of class is completely flexible. He is a very patient teacher and makes learning easy and fun. So much so, I am shifting to a new city and will continue the classes over Skype. Excellent learning, superb coaching. He makes you love the more than just learning the notes and frets. "
Sumon Ghosh
"A warm and friendly person ready to extend a helping hand besides being an excellent guitar player himself and teaches really well explaining the basic concepts thoroughly. "

"I went to Sir for vocal classes but learning to play the guitar at the same time was a bonus. It really helped me to pitch my voice correctly. "

"Sir is an excellent and very calm teacher. His methods of teaching is very easily understood. "
Andy F
"Sebastian Sir is a very experienced musician and instructor with a very different and unconventional approach towards teaching music. Every class is very informative and interesting. I have been learning to play the guitar under Sebastian Sir's guidance and I am surprised at my own progress. I would definitely recommend Sebastian Sir. "
Rajkumar

"Saby is a passionate music lover and dedicated to his craft and to his students. I would highly recommend young budding musicians to learn from Sebastian. "

Hi Megha, 20 days is too short a time period to learn a musical instrument but besides other activities you could consider art workshops where you could learn to draw and paint. You will have to take forward what you learn in those 20 days by yourself but it could be a good start. Other relatively easy things to consider are baking and cooking workshops, candle making and so on. There are many possibilities to explore but you must have an idea of what you like to do most. All the best!
