About Amir
I am an internationally acclaimed recording artist, with 7 albums under my belt, and several hit songs in major motion pictures and TV series.
I am a self taught guitar player from the age of 11. It just came naturally to me, finding the chord shapes and melodic structures purely from listening to records in my bedroom.
As my abilities progressed, I went on to study Jazz under the venerable Arale Kaminsky in Tel Aviv, Israel. I later travelled to New York City to study voice and acting at the prestigious Herbert Berghof Studio.
I've been teaching guitar for the past 24 years. I find that every student is unique and a "one size fits all" philosophy does not work most of the time. I use a more personal approach, finding out what each and every student's personal goals are, and working out a long term plan to achieve those goals. Not everyone is born with the ability to pick up music on their own, but being self taught myself, I know a few tricks to make the learning process more intuitive and less of a chore.
Watching a student progress from week to week is so satisfying, and seeing a student achieving their goals is a reward in itself. I often develop a lifelong personal relationship with my students. Some of my Tel Aviv students have stayed with me through my move to the US, and are now taking Skype lessons with me.

We start by talking about goals. Where do you see yourself musically in 6 months? How about in 2 years?
The next stage is working out a plan to achieve the goals. If you're a guitar student and your goal is, for example, jamming 12 bar blues at your local jam night, we wouldn't focus too much on learning classical scales or jazz chords. The focus would be seventh chords, pentatonic blues scales and blues structure.
I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to learning music. And anyone can achieve their goals, it's really just a matter of focus and desire.
I have taught students of all ages and all levels. Beginners, children as young as 7 years old, experienced musicians looking to better themselves, highschool student in music programs, and seniors looking to fulfill their lifetime dream of finally picking up an instrument or singing.

Amir was the music teacher of 3 of my children.
He was my son's guitar teacher for over 5 years, during which he took him to wonderful places, brought out the true interest in music in him, provided support and encouragement, took him through a matriculation exam in music, and was honest enough to say when it was time to move on to a new teacher. Today my son is a musician who sees his future in music, very much thanks to Amir's positive influence and guidance.
Amir has taught my daughter to play the guitar. Although she was not persistent, she enjoyed his lessons very much.
Amir was also my younger son's drums teacher for 5 years. Amir has all the patience and gentleness required for working with children, together with an amazing ability of adapting to each student's needs and desires, finding with each of them the right style and the kind of music that they like. Amir is a wonderful person and an outstanding teacher. In addition of being a great musician himself, he gives his students his full support, not only within the lessons themselves. Amir attended shows and concerts where my children played, even when he was not personally involved in the concert. Apart for teaching them to play, to write music and to listen to music and appreciate it, Amir is a kind and affectionate person, and I'm thankful for each minute that my children spent with him.View more recommendations
