Razvan is a Victoria music teacher and performing artist specializing in fingerstyle and classical guitar. He teaches private, group, and online lessons and is available for events, such as parties and private concerts.
As a performing artist, his playing has been extolled by such renowned classical artists as David Russell, Pepe Romero, Patrick Kearney and Liona Boyd. He has also won several classical guitar competitions and can channel this experience to prepare the more advanced students to enter a university music program or guitar competition. He holds a Ph.D in classical guitar performance.
His students include adults, pre-university, high school, elementary school (often their parents), and online students. What makes Raz so different from other classical guitar teachers is his philosophy of teaching, and therefore how he teaches, which can be found under his Bio.

Feedback From Parents
A gifted musician!
Patient, creative, structured, firm when necessary and always fun! Raz is able to translate expert knowledge to a level appropriate even for a seven-year-old child.
Piano and guitar with Raz on Saturday mornings is a highlight of our weekend!
Our son loves his sessions with Raz. He’s quickly grasping the basics of theory, technique, rhythm, and music notation for both instruments. Learning the fundamentals can be rote and dry but Raz makes the whole experience enjoyable while tailoring to our son’s personality and capacities. Just the right amount of challenge and fun each lesson.
Can’t recommend him highly enough!

I highly recommend Raz for both children and adults!
My 9 year old daughter has been learning guitar with Raz for the past 3 years. She has progressed steadily. Raz is a very gifted musician and knows how to share his knowledge with his students. He is well organized, flexible and has a clear method for teaching music.
I cannot recommend him more!
Raz is a great teacher, his lessons are extremely valuable but also a real pleasure to follow!
He is able to adjust to each person's pace (he teaches my son and I).

Raz is an amazing, kind, and patient music teacher!
He taught my 13 yr old son piano and my 10 year old son ukulele. He is great with kids, making the lessons fun and he has the ability to showcase their strengths and make them feel special. He's really great! I highly recommend him!
