Classical guitarist with over 20 years playing successfully on international stages and teaching at prestigious institutions. All ages and levels are welcome. 

Miguel was my first serious guitar teacher. He helped me build the foundations of everything I know about guitar. Thanks to what I learned from him, I’ve been blessed to have played all around the world, including the White House. Anyone who studies with Miguel will be deeply fortunate to have found such an amazing teacher, like I was.

I was struggling to learn how to play classical guitar for months before I was lucky enough to meet Miguel. I was able to finally learn the process, skills, techniques and music theory necessary to master the basics of playing the guitar.

Miguel is always positive and gives instruction in a nurturing and encouraging way. Although challenging, he keeps the exercises within my ability.

If you are serious about learning how to play classical guitar and willing to commit to practicing and doing the work, you will benefit from his instruction. Not only is he an excellent teacher but also an accomplished musician with many years of teaching and performing experience with other renowned musicians.

Miguel Bonachea is a talented professional concert classical guitarist and equally excellent, patient, caring teacher for students of all ages and abilities. His years of running a music school and teaching give him the knowledge and capability to tailor quality lessons for each student. Students develop a solid music foundation and proper technique. Miguel is skilled in technology use and can teach online or in person.

It is a great honor to recommend Maestro Miguel Bonachea, a distinguished Cuban classical guitarist, international concertist, and revered professor whose influence spans continents and generations.

Miguel Bonachea is widely recognized not only for his extraordinary artistry on the guitar but also for his deep intellectual engagement with music and his exceptional contributions to guitar pedagogy. His performances—both as a soloist and in collaboration with renowned ensembles—demonstrate a rare blend of technical brilliance, expressive depth, and cultural authenticity. He brings to life the works of composers from Bach to Brouwer with a refined touch and a profound understanding of musical narrative.

As a professor, Bonachea has earned international respect for his dedication to the development of young guitarists. His former students now teach and perform across Europe, the Americas, and beyond, a testament to his vision, discipline, and generosity as a mentor. Through masterclasses, lectures, and academic leadership, he has contributed to the enrichment of guitar education in conservatories and universities worldwide.

Born in Cuba and trained at the highest levels, Miguel Bonachea carries forward a proud musical heritage while constantly innovating and expanding the boundaries of the classical guitar. His passion for contemporary music, particularly the works of Latin American composers, has brought important new repertoire to the global stage.

Miguel Bonachea is, without doubt, a pillar of the international guitar community. I offer my strongest and most enthusiastic recommendation for him in any artistic, academic, or advisory capacity. His integrity, artistry, and commitment to excellence continue to inspire musicians across the world.

Miguel gave guitar classes to my son and he was an amazing teacher! My son learned so much and I would definitely recommend Miguel. He is so talented and he is great with kids! You will not regret hiring Miguel as your teacher or for your kids!
