About
Sandro Rodrigues
"Guitar playing par excellence" is how Aart van der Wal, from OpusKlassiek.nl defined the performance of the young portuguese guitarist, who studied with great masters of the classical guitar world such as Pedro Mateo, Àlex Garrobé and Carlo Marchione. Performing regularly around the Europe, Sandro has developed his career not only as a performer, but also as a transcriber, releasing a CD with his own arrangements for guitar of the G. P. Telemann's XII Fantasias for Viola da Gamba without bass, considered by the critics as "one of the most beautiful guitar albums of recent times."
What people say about Academie voor Gitaar
Experiences from students at the Academie voor Gitaar.
I had weekly lessons for over a year now and the quality of my playing and musical understanding have improved drastically. Sandro is a dedicated, gifted and patient teacher, sensitive to the wishes and needs of the student and creative in giving excercises and comments.
MARCEL
I find the lessons with Sandro incredibly enjoyable and educational. They're well-adapted to your level. They focus on technique, theory, and your playing style, while also teaching you a lot about the pieces you're playing. I've also had violin and piano lessons in the past, but I've never had so much fun learning a new instrument!
MARJOLIJN
Sandro Rodrigues is a fantastic guitar teacher. I enjoy every lesson, have learned so much over the past two years, and even recently had my first performance with the guitar ensemble!
YVONNE
Apart from teaching me to read and play the notes, he taught me to see beyond them and understand the emotion, temperament and dynamics as meant by the composer. Moreover, he showed me how to explore the versatility of the instrument to realize this .
Sandro's balanced patience and capability to stimulate to go a step further each and everytime is really extra-ordinary.
