Recommendation for Karta Iglesias

Karta is a wonderful music. He creates a friendly and fun atmosphere children, so they feel that music lessons are a challenging game rather than a burden. From the moment one walks into his studio there is a soothing atmosphere as Karta uses music CDs to maintain an ambiance that is relaxing. Both of my children (2 and 5 years old) learned basic rhythms and notes very quickly. My 5-year-old in particular rapidly learned melodies and within a few months could do simple sight-reading. An adult can learn quickly with Karta as well. He has a broad range of musical interests. Talking about music was a much a part of the learning process as sitting down with the piano or guitar. Sometimes we'd get onto a theme and he would lend me CDs from his extensive collection so that I could listen to and study them before my next class. By working with recordings addressing specific issues that we'd talked about I was able to really think through some of the basic structures of the music that I was learning. All in all, Karta is a great all around music teacher and I highly recommend him to both children and adults.
