Hi! I'm Diego Alonso

SGM COACHING PROGRAM
The Spanish Guitar Mastery Coaching Program offers 6 and 12-month memberships. Private, 1-on-1 lessons are only available for students who are registered in SGM or have completed a 12 month membership.

PROGRESS EXPECTATIONS
Despite student testimonials and success stories shared on the SGM website, SGM cannot guarantee that all students will reach the same results since results depend on each student’s dedication to practice, studying lesson material, following practice guidelines, external life factors, and individual differences. SGM’s ideal goal is that each student internalizes basic technique, basic applied theory, and all fundamental practice strategies by the 3 month mark. By 6 months students should have internalized all strategies to a point of independence, developed a solid understanding of rhythm (compás), basic reading (if desired), more advances technique and musicality, and at least 3-4 level-appropriate pieces of music. By 9 months students should have a solid understanding of performance strategies, expressive performance techniques, and should be able to perform at least 3 pieces publicly. By 12 months the student is expected to have a comprehensive understanding of all expert practice and performing strategies needed to develop a piece from zero to a concert performance level. The student is also expected to have developed at least 3-6 pieces of music to a performance level for either classical or flamenco guitar.

CANCELLATION & REFUNDS
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee: If you’ve truly put in the work, watched the mandatory tutorial videos, and participated in all SGM learning and coaching options, but aren’t seeing significant progress by the time you hit 30 days in the program, I’ll give you a full refund. NOTE: No refunds after 30 days.

INJURY POLICY
Musicians usually get injured for 7 reasons: playing too hard, practicing too much, being in a hurry to improve, improper posture, chronic anxiety, playing with excessive tension, and perfectionism.It is imperative to be patient with your progress and play with as much relaxation as possible in your body and mind. Be mindful when practicing and stop immediately at the first sign of pain, discomfort, or fatigue. Address these signs immediately even if you have not reached your recommended or desired practice time.

Neither I (Diego Alonso Audette), the Spanish Guitar Mastery Program, Sonanta LLC, or any affiliates shall be held responsible for any student’s repetitive stress or guitar-related injuries.  (edited)
