About Lazara
My motto is: A teacher is a great guide for students if she/he teach with passion, dedication and love but, more important, if that teacher is able to sow the seed of inspiration and motivation in his students.
When I started teaching 30 years ago, I never thought how far my career as a teacher was going to be. I was 19 years old, just graduated from " The National Music School" in Cuba, La Habana. To get my first job as a guitar teacher I had to play again others players and the board of directors granted me the position. In a country where the guitar is the national instrument, where the population know very well either by playing or listening the guitar, in theaters, on the streets, homes, restaurants, public concerts etc. To become a guitar teacher it is really challenging because almost everybody know the instrument very well or at least are familiar with the most traditional songs in which the guitar is used as a principal instrument for accompaniment. Guitar teachers in Cuba have to be real connoisseurs of the instrument.
My first course teaching was the most difficult to manage different students with different personality, brain, hands, physical condition, emotion, talent and different perspective. It was crucial to be in love with them otherwise I wouldn't have been able to help them individually, because in music, every individual is an inner world. I took them inside the fantastic world of competitions, master classes given for great Cuban and foreign professors, concerts and Festivals. One of the most relevant in my country was" The Guitar Festival" sponsored by Leo Brouwer where some of my students performed in 2009 in the theater" Amadeo Roldán".
Since 1993 until now I have taught several generations of musicians that I feel so proud of. Seeing them growing as professionals and as human beings is something very gratifying. I have been living in US for 10 years, I became American citizen and have worked for some companies as a music teacher since my arrival from Cuba. At " Paganini Music school" and " MultiArt" , both located in Newark, New Jersey. Also I was a former substitute teacher at " The Board of Education of Union City", New Jersey, I teach on " Outschool" and recently have opened my own studio called " Bona Fide Music Studio" in Newark , New Jersey.
As a performer I am very active. I play as a soloist and with my husband in our duo called " Bona Fide". We have done our first CD " Doce Cuerdas" produced by a Cuban American composer with 12 Grammy nominations Yalil Guerra. I recently finished my Master's Degree under the guidance of Dr.Celil Refik kaya. I am the fist Cuban American winner in Marku International Guitar Competition 2022 and have won two talent competitions from NJCU.

My method is very didactic, beginners can learn in a brief period of time different tools to be able to apply them in any song or classical piece. I always start teaching the correct posture of the body and hands. From the first class I encourage my students to play from the first position easy chords like C, Am, G, D and simples ascending/ descending arpegios, free and rest stroke. later, I plan to teach bar (proper use of the finger one in left hand), diatonic and chromatic scales( asc/ des), slurs ( asc/desc), chords( in different positions). Students can apply each of these tools inside every lesson that I take from the great Cuban method " Guitar Method I". It is a method very well designed for beginners. There are three more books of this method for levels II, III, IV. In each method are incorporated beautiful and attractive classical lessons with a wide variety of styles.
To those students that are in an advance level and want to improve interpretation and style concepts, I also can help according to my experience of playing and teaching.
I have demonstrated my good method as a professor for more than 30 years with great results in my students, some of them became great professional musicians and I'm looking forward to see the path of those I have at this moment.
I always demonstrate with my guitar any explanation I provide in front of the student. I think it is the best way to explain any detail whether it's technical or musical .
NOTE: This class is very special for those students that have decided to make classical guitar as a career, I assure that you will be in a good hands.
