Brandon Arriola
Distance: mi
Guitar Center Corpus Christi 4127 S. Staples St. Corpus Christi, TX
My name is Brandon Arriola, I spent two years studying classical guitar performance under Mr. Philip Hii at Del Mar College. I currently live in Corpus Christi, Texas. I teach guitar, drums, and piano. Most of my upbringing has centered around the metal and classical genres. Techniques I specialize in are fingerpicking, tapping, and alternate picking. I currently am writing and performing in a local band and have been in several over the past seven years. I have three years of one on one teaching experience. My favorite musicians are Robert Smith, Stephan Carpenter, and Brian Eschbach. The first song I learned how to play on guitar was One by Metallica. I love playing music because it’s a form of self-expression that conveys emotion that other forms of communication cannot. I love teaching because having the ability to introduce students to skill sets and future opportunities is invaluable to me.

Jacob Ramos
Distance: mi
Guitar Center Corpus Christi 4127 S. Staples St. Corpus Christi, TX
I am a musician who focuses primarily on classical music. I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s in Music Education in Texas A&M at Corpus Christi. . After that, my aim is to get a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Music Performance. My primary instrument is guitar, however, I can also play piano. I work with all ages. I play in a classical guitar duo named LineaR Duo. Some of my favorite performers are; Kazuhito Yamashita, Manuel Barrueco, Stephanie Jones, and many more. I have studied under Philip Hii for 5 years and Michael Moore for 1 year. My philosophy in music is to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to be a musician just as much as someone can be a scientist. Since music is created by people, I believe that music is essential to one’s own existence. Plato, an Ancient Greek philosopher, argued the importance of music in one’s life for the betterment of one’s personality. Another important philosopher, Aristotle, argued for the importance of music used in one’s own leisure time. Thus, if music is acknowledged to have had such an effect 3 thousand years ago, then there must be something true in today’s world. Apart from music, I have a cat named Henry.

Eli Duran
Distance: mi
Guitar Center Corpus Christi 4127 S. Staples St. Corpus Christi, TX
Education: University of Maryland Musical Theater Major and Performance Grad 2003 I teach all levels of voice and beginner piano. Its important to ensure that a quality education starts with not just an emphasis on voice or piano but a strong placement with theory. This helps to develop a strong musical foundation to ensure that all students can become marketable musicians. No one student learns the same way, I work to ensure that a developed lesson plan is catered to the individual. No one is without talent, they just haven't been shown how to discover the hidden talents within.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
