Solo Musician For Hire in Upper Manhattan, NY

Hi! My name is Telesmar Sanchez, and I am a professional jazz guitarist and guitar teacher based in Harlem, NYC. I can teach whatever style of guitar you're interested in (blues, rock, classical, funk, jazz, etc.) as well as music theory, sightreading, and songwriting. My approach to teaching is holistic—you're not just going to learn how to play your favorite songs, but how they work and how to create music of your own. My goal as your teacher is to give you the tools to develop a positive and inspiring relationship to your instrument. I have 20 years of guitar experience and an MFA in jazz guitar performance from CalArts. I've played hundreds of gigs across all sorts of genres and I've had dozens of students of all ages and experience levels. I have a strong passion for teaching and helping others deepen their connection to music. I hope we get to explore the guitar together! Lessons are available both in-person and online.

I have a passion for helping people create wonderful memories at their events with music. Since 2010, I have provided music services for a variety of situations: wedding ceremonies, memorial services, cocktail hours, corporate events, private events and more. I am here to help you create the soundtrack for your event!
