Classical guitar, lute, and early music teacher

I was drawn to Yair because of his playing, which is as sensitive as it is masterful. After more than three years of lessons on the baroque lute I can say that this balance comes through also in his style of teaching, which is gentle and encouraging yet rich and precise. I came with no previous experience on stringed instruments, and through his help I can now enjoy playing a great variety of pieces from the likes of Weiss, Purcell, Kellner, Bach, and more. Yair is responsive and accommodating when arranging lesson times that suit my busy work schedule. It is always a pleasure to see him for a lesson in his leafy, quiet corner of London, and I recommend him to anyone.

"Yair has been teaching me the lute for four years. He is an expert performer and takes his playing seriously, though there is much laughter during our sessions. Yair is constantly examining and refining his own playing and shares his analytical methods. His demonstrations are beautiful and inspiring. Strongly recommended!"
