About a year ago, my son Andrew, who at that time was 9 years old, started studying with Tudor through Skype, because we are not living in Romania. Initially I did not know if this relatively new teaching medium would be effective or even possible, especially for a child. But Tudor presented a very clear program with short and long term goals and showed amazing communication with Andrew, managing to maintain his attention for long periods of time in which he taught all aspects of instrument technique, musical interpretation and historical context, in a very pleasant and easy way to understand , gaining confidence and motivating him to study seriously and patiently. Shortly after the beginning of the lessons, Andrew managed to make great progress, confirmed on stage and in guitar competitions, where he received awards even in age categories higher than his age.
It is indeed a privilege to have access to a professor of Tudor’ s caliber and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is interested in studying guitar at any level. Orășanu Șerban, parent
