Online Lesson
Feedback
“To have my lessons with Dr. Jorge is a process of self-empowerment and enlightenment. Due to his simple, clear, skillful, and meaningful assistance, I can find my path within my composition ideas, where technical, conceptual, or perceptual aims come together. He is a keen advocate of listening, which is key to having a deeper perception of sound. I enjoy our lessons. We have a good time both in person and online. Jorge is very talented, positive, and supportive of me. I hope we can continue our lessons soon. I like to have lessons with him to discuss my interests and goals and how to make them musically viable.”
