Tudor Niculescu has demonstrated a remarkable commitment as a teacher to the development of students at the British School of Bucharest, delivering guitar lessons with great professionalism. His pedagogical approach, based on innovative methods, has generated exceptional results with students making significant progress in their musical abilities. His positive impact on students and his passion for education highly recommend him as an exceptional mentor in the field of music.
I believe that true excellence is achieved when you manage to convey your passion to others. This happened to my daughter. She is particularly happy to study this instrument, thanks to her teacher. Whenever she comes back from holiday and no matter how tired she is, she also studies a little on the guitar. For me, this means a lot.
As a teacher, although Tudor is very gentle, he manages to impose a seriousness towards study through competence and dedication.
I recommend him wholeheartedly to all those who want to experience the joy of music through the strings of the guitar.

HOBBY
Individual lessons are based on going through the stages of assimilation of knowledge and skills required for guitar playing. The basic technical elements will be applied later on to learn guitar pieces. In the teacher-student learning relationship, all explanations will be accompanied by examples.
PERFORMANCE
Lessons are structured so as each learner can develop their skills as quicly as possible, but in a personal pace of assimilation. The knowledge and technical elements learned during the lessons will be consolidated at home by the student through sustained individual practice.
How do I schedule the lessons?
Lessons are offered on packs of 4 sessions. Sheduling can be done by phone or e-mail.
