Experienced tutor in Harmonica in Oakland, Carlos offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

hi everyone I'm from Japan and I just want to share my experience working lessons with sir carlos, first of all, harmonica is my first instrument, I always watch youtube videos about it until I tried searching some online lessons and here I met sir carlos he is a great teacher because he teaches me first to learn the basics and how to play the harmonica well, I learn a lot from him because he corrects my every mistake until I get it and he has many lessons and basic songs that will be given to you after your session of lessons that will really help you improve. I highly recommend him for all newbies who are looking for a good teacher and for all those who are just entering the field of harmonica because not only will he teach you well, but you will also enjoy talking to him.

Carlos has a wealth of information in relation to his musical journeys and experience. He is a fine musician and a wonderful instructor. We meet up online once per week and I go over the material I've been taught from the previous week. He makes suggestions and then introduces more material, so the learning journey keeps going.

An interesting thing happened one week. I sent him a link to a YouTube video of an old Aussie blues/rock band from the early 70s. The music is great, but Carlos was, "don't get distracted"! I appreciated that! Stick to the learning and as a teacher, he excels!

Carlos Zialcita’s teaching style is truly exceptional. He takes the time to converse and get to know your musical preferences and moods, creating a personalized learning experience. Unlike typical teachers who simply shove notes and patterns for you to master, Carlos emphasizes expression as a vital aspect of music. His stories and conversations add a much-needed dimension to his lessons, one that you may not have realized you needed but quickly come to see as essential. Carlos’s approach makes learning music a deeply enriching and fulfilling journey.

Carlos is patient, thorough, and always write out your lesson.. He makes sure you understand the material. I enjoy Carlos teaching style. In fact, let me schedule another harmonica lesson
