He also holds seminars, courses of specialisation and Master Classes on subjects such as: the technical discoveries for the classical guitar as well as for the various instruments he plays regularly (the chikari guitar, the sarod guitar, the sarod and the tabla); on special techniques of a particular method of transcription for the guitar; music for guitar ensembles.

About his teaching his says:

"I do not use any specific, fixed method. I teach according to the pupil I have in front of me. I must know and understand him in his individuality and then I teach according to both his human and technical necessities and capacities. I teach with a strict and serious approach but, at the same time, my method is "painless". I do not have any pre-established programme but always proceed according to the personal needs of the pupils. Each one of them responds to music, to sound and to the study in a different fashion. I teach in this way in order to get the very best out of the students. Each one of them has his own inner musical quality and I like to watch this coming to the surface, blooming and developing in a different way in each pupil."
