“I’m fortunate and grateful to have Merce as my guitar teacher. She is able to pinpoint areas to improve and provides the means to improve my guitar performance. Merce’s enthusiasm and passion for the classical guitar inspires me to enjoy every moment on my guitar journey.”

MFA Student

A teacher who walks the walk

Before I became a teacher, I was a dedicated student — trained in top European conservatories, performing on stages, and navigating the ups and downs of life as a professional musician.

Now, through this Academy, I bring that experience directly to you. My mission is to help self-driven guitarists grow with structure, care, and high-level guidance.
