Home Issac Hernandez
Our Summer Camp Director, Issac Hernandez, discovered his passion for guitar as a child when his grandfather introduced him to the instrument, starting with Mexican music. He was captivated with the guitar’s beautiful sounds and rhythms. As he grew older, his musical tastes evolved, and he became interested in rock and blues. Driven to transform his passion into a career, he pursued a formal education in music at the City College of New York where he obtained his bachelor’s degree–and he began teaching for NYC Guitar School.
Developing a strong desire to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for music with others, Issac continued his education at Hunter College where he earned a master’s degree in Music Education. At Hunter he acquired a deeper understanding of pedagogical techniques and honed his skills in instructional design, curriculum development, and classroom management.
Issac has helped aspiring young musicians develop their skills and achieve their musical goals in NYC Guitar School’s summer camps since 2017. He has taught every summer program offered by the guitar school, including guitar bootcamp, rock band, and original songwriting and recording, working with kids and teens. As Summer Camp Lead Teacher, Issac also supported other summer coaches with their instructional needs, as well as running events and assisting in camp logistics.
In addition to directing the NYC Guitar School Summer Camp, Issac is proud to have the privilege of teaching high school music at the Urban Assembly of Music and Art in Brooklyn, NY, where he inspires and guides young musicians in their musical journey.
