Hi my name is Horacio Hernandez! Iām a guitarist and educator with a bachelorās degree in Guitar Performance and Music Education from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This educational background has not only provided me with formal teaching qualifications but also a deep appreciation for the transformative power of music in education. My training spans classical, jazz, rock, and more. Iāve worked with students of all levelsāfrom complete beginners to advanced players preparing for auditions or performances. Whether youāre learning your first chords, exploring improvisation, or diving into theory and composition, Iāll create a custom lesson plan that keeps you inspired, challenged, and making real progress. My approach is tailored to each studentās goals, whether youāre a complete beginner, an aspiring songwriter, or preparing for a performance or audition. As a teacher, I focus on building strong technique, ear training, and musicality, while always connecting lessons to the studentās personal goals and interests. I aim to make every session clear, engaging, and motivating, with custom lesson plans that help you build skills step by step. Iām here to support you through your musical journey and make sure you enjoy the process along the way.



Basketball has been a major part of my life. I played in high school and college before a serious injury ended my playing career and led me into coaching. I went on to build a successful AAU program, start a sports media company, and become a basketball referee. My experience as a player, coach, mentor, and official allows me to teach not only basketball skills, but also confidence, discipline, basketball IQ, and a true understanding of the game.
