About Kristina A.
Ms. Avila is a TEA Certified Teacher with a Bachelors in Music Education in Guitar concentration. She offers both in-person and remote/online lessons (via Zoom). Since 2010, she has had the privilege of teaching all ages (from 4 - 80+) having gained experience as both a private guitar instructor and group class instructor through the UTRGV Music Academy for three consecutive years (formerly the UTB Music Academy), over 15 years of self-employed private sessions, guitar/music summer camps, and previous other music academy programs. If you are looking for an experienced guitar instructor - look no further - choose a teacher with a degree who can answer and explain ALL your music questions! Though able to teach different genres (in both English and Spanish) – ranging from classical, blues (jazz), rock, “estudiantina”, and pop/modern – she places great emphasis on proper playing technique and alignment, the rudimentary principles, and music theory without avoiding the most important element of music – fun!
Reviews
Kristina taught me the basics of guitar when I had no idea on even how to hold a guitar properly. She is an excellent teacher and I am so very thankful she accepted to teach me. She gave me sheets to practice and various tips to learn and practice . She quickly noticed what I was doing wrong and gave guidelines and specific tips to improve what was lacking. She has great knowledge of history of music and is fluent with different music genres as well. Upon Knowing that I was interested in music history, she wrote up music history in long detail to share her knowledge with me, which I am really very thankful for. She was always on time, and was very easy to communicate and an absolute gem of a person. You don’t need to give her a second thought if you are looking to hire a music teacher.
She is brilliant in teaching the basics and very patient with her students. I highly recommend her
Kristina has already given me lots of encouragement and this is of utmost importance to me. I also love the fact that she is extremely educated in her field! I have already recommended her to someone else who is looking for a guitar teacher for his daughter.
As a novice guitar player, I can honestly say that selecting Kristina as my first instructor was the best decision I made. She teaches you the fundamentals of guitar playing and she adapts her lessons to whatever you want to achieve. She is extremely knowledgeable and is a professional musician with the right experience and education. I made progress fairly quickly thanks to her lessons. Whether you are a beginner like me or an advanced player, Kristina would be great for either one. The price for the lessons is very competitive, she drives to your location, and she works with you as far as scheduling the sessions. I highly recommend Kristina without any reservations.

I really enjoyed her personality and willingness to teach my son! Her pricing was reasonable and the best part is that she travels to us! She also brings all tools needed to each lesson with obviously eventually purchasing your own guitar! Highly recommended!
Highly recommend!
