“I am grateful for your exceptional mentorship and teaching. You are dedicated to equipping your students with skills, discipline, and lessons that apply to all facets of life. Thank you for your patience and encouragement, as well as your passion for teaching!”
Julianne C. (student), Canada
"After many years of not looking at my guitar, or any music score, I decided that I would like to take up classical guitar lessons again.As a middle-aged professional person, I have limited time and could not commit to an absolutely rigid schedule. My professional activities and travel allow me to be able to practice daily at times, but at other times not for a week or even more. As a result I looked for someone who would be extremely flexible, but also someone who would make it interesting and whom I liked. I wanted fun, progress at my own pace, and not engender stress or negativity when I butchered my pieces! After all, I am doing this for one reason only - because I want to enjoy playing my guitar and getting better at it. Fortuitously I found Sanel online. Over the last year I have come to appreciate Sanel as one of the best music teachers I’ve ever had, not only because I genuinely like him, but because after one year of working at it again, I can genuinely say I am having more fun playing my guitar than I’ve ever had. That says a lot."
Magnus (student), Canada

Meet The Teacher
Sanel's Teaching Philosophy
With over 12 years of full-time teaching experience, Sanel brings a balanced and thoughtful approach to guitar lessons. His goal is to help each student build a strong musical foundation while staying connected to what inspires them, whether that is the sound of the instrument or the desire to play their favorite songs.
Sanel has observed two common types of students: those who are drawn to the guitar itself and want to explore its sound and technique, and those who are motivated by learning songs they love. Both paths are valid, and Sanel tailors his teaching to meet each student where they are.
However, he has also seen that students who skip the fundamentals often face challenges later. To address this, even students focused on songs are guided through essential skills like finger placement, hand coordination, and technique. This approach helps them grow into confident players with the flexibility to learn more advanced music.
Sanel’s teaching is structured, clear, and supportive. He blends technique, theory, and gradual progression to help students avoid bad habits and develop muscle memory in a natural and relaxed way.
He regularly reflects on his teaching methods, seeks feedback from students, and continues to learn so he can better support each guitarist’s progress.
