. Staff Notation ​Staff notation (or stave notation) is the standard visual language of Western music, using a grid of five horizontal lines and four spaces to communicate pitch and duration. Pitch is mapped vertically—the higher a note sits on the staff, the higher its frequency—while time and rhythm progress horizontally from left to right. 2. Ear Training (Aural Skills) Ear training is the systematic practice of translating what you hear into musical understanding, and vice versa. It bridges the gap between abstract music theory and instinctual playing, training the brain to decode pitch, harmony, and rhythm in real time. Interval Recognition: Identifying the exact distance between two consecutive or simultaneous pitches (e.g., recognizing a Perfect 5th vs. a Minor 3rd). Harmonic Identification: Distinguishing chord qualities (major, minor, diminished, augmented, 7ths) and detecting chord progressions (I\text{–}IV\text{–}V\text{–}I). Transcription & Dictation: Listening to a live or recorded melody and rhythmically and melodically writing it down without touching an instrument. 3. Trinity College London Certificate A Trinity College London music certificate is an internationally recognized, accredited qualification certifying technical proficiency, musicianship, and performance standards across classical, jazz, and rock & pop disciplines. Graded Structure: Spans from Initial through Grades 1–8, followed by professional diplomas (ATCL, LTCL, and FTCL). Evaluation Components: Candidates are assessed on prepared repertoire pieces, technical exercises (scales, arpeggios, and studies), and supporting tests such as sight-reading, aural skills, or improvisation. Global Standing: Regulated by Ofqual in the UK, Trinity grades are benchmarked against international qualification frameworks. Passing Grades 6–8 earns UCAS points, aiding university entrance in the UK and conservatory admissions worldwide.

My approach is to help you develop your ears so they become the main instrument for your music journey. That applies to guitar, piano, etc. I teach you to learn theory as map for your musical journey and not as strict rules to follow. I teach you to teach yourself.

I am a professional bass player and music teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience. As a performer, I have developed an extensive musical career in different styles and ensembles, encompassing rock, jazz, and flamenco. Since 2025, I have been a member of Alfred García's band as a bassist and flautist on his tour of Catalonia. What do I offer in my classes? Develop your technique and sense of rhythm. Learn harmony, accompaniment, and improvisation. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. How do I teach? I am interested in each student learning to play a real instrument, developing their musical abilities and autonomy, always enjoying the process. I adapt the classes to the interests, objectives and level of each person, combining technical work with musical practice, improvisation and the repertoire that interests them most. It's not just about doing exercises: it's about acquiring tools to be able to make music independently. Where? Face-to-face classes in my fully equipped teaching space, in the Sants-Badal area, near the Badal and Santa Eulàlia metro stations. I also offer online classes. I teach in Spanish, Catalan and English. If you want to start playing, pick up an instrument again, or improve your level, you can write to me and tell me what you would like to learn!
