Great to meet you all! My name is Tomas and I'm a passionate violin teacher with more than 20 years of teaching experience. I have a strong academic background in music and education. Here are some of the degrees I have obtained:

- Master Degree in Music Research from the Valencian International University

- Teaching degree from the Barcelona Music School

- Professional degree from the Music School of Buenos Aires

- Specialist in Psychomotricity from University Miguel Cervantes

Apart from teaching, I also run the world's largest Spanish-language violin blog called MyViolinBlog where I share my teaching and playing experiences. I'm also privileged to work as a conductor for the AMA Orchestra in Barcelona, where my students and I focus on musical group experience and technique.

I have teaching experience in different schools across Argentina, Spain, Poland, and Romania, I've developed a unique teaching approach that tailors each lesson to the student's goals, keeping them motivated and on track. I can also assist with preparation for school admissions exams such as ABRSM, Trinity College, and more.

As the head teacher at Esclat Barcelona Music School and Viaró Global School, I'm currently conducting research in the biomechanics of violin playing, and I'm set to publish four books on this subject this year!

Each class with me is customized to meet the student's needs, covering musical, theoretical, and postural concepts to ensure optimal comfort while playing. I love to explain complex concepts in simple terms and inspire my students to continue learning and exploring their musical abilities.

If you're interested in booking a trial lesson with me, let's discuss your goals and how I can help you to reach them!

Thanks to my experience as a teacher in a professional center such as the Santander Professional Conservatory of Music, where I have had the opportunity to work with students of all ages, since I have been lucky enough to work with numerous teachers who have given me different points of view to face the development of the interpretive technique of the transverse flute, I have extensive experience and numerous tools to help solve the difficulties of the students when playing.
I currently combine my acting career with my second master's degree in acting at the Barcelona Conservatory of Music with Professor Vicens Prats. I have extensive experience as a teacher at the Santander Professional Music Conservatory "Ataulfo Argenta". As a performer, I have the opportunity to collaborate with numerous orchestras, such as the Basque Country Orchestra (OSE) or the Valles Symphony Orchestra (OSV).
These experiences and many others allow me to face the classes from a professional point of view while, by continuing to be a student, I can understand more closely the difficulties that students may encounter when playing the transverse flute.

I have prepared a specialized course for anyone, in which you will learn to develop your musical ear and develop skills and abilities when playing your favorite instrument. I strive to look for talents and to be able to help develop the musical ear and apply all the theory and harmony to the instrumental practice, be it on the violin, the piano or the voice. There is no age limit, and it is intended for beginners as well as advanced people. It is an effective and fun course in which we will share knowledge and music. My name is Gabriel, I am a Master in Music and a Master in Musical Interpretation of classical and contemporary music, with great experience as a teacher and eager to share my knowledge and train great musicians in the future.

Would you like to strengthen your English while also learning to play the violin?

I am a violinist, violin teacher with experience teaching English and am looking for students who would like to improve their language learning skills with movement and music. I teach using body-based learning, focusing on motor skills, repetition and environmental cues to help strengthen learning. There is evidence to suggest that learning music strengthens the ability to learn language as they use similar brain pathways.

Please get in touch if you are interested in further information. Assistance to choose correct violin for you e.g. size, material is also on offer.

This course is designed for both beginners who want to learn from scratch and intermediate students who want to improve their piano skills.

Includes essential piano fundamentals (score reading, technique and posture), diverse repertoire that ranges from classical to contemporary pieces, adapted to your level (or pieces of the student's choice: films, songs,...)

We will use a personalized and friendly approach to ensure that each student achieves their musical goals in a fun and effective way. The classes will adapt to your needs and learning pace.

A pianist with a degree from the Conservatory of Music, I have years of experience teaching piano to students of all ages. I have a classical background, so I can help you learn the musical language, the correct technique and posture on the piano, working directly with the repertoire of pieces and songs that I can propose and that you want to play.

Welcome! I'm Paula, and this course is designed for anyone who wants to get started in the world of music, either by learning the basics of musical language or by starting to play the violin. As a professional violinist with a professional degree and extensive experience performing at private events, I have designed this course to convey my knowledge in a clear, practical and exciting way.

The course is suitable for those with no prior knowledge as well as those who are already familiar with some aspects of music. Students can choose to focus on musical language, on learning to play the violin, or even combine both.

In a comfortable and flexible environment, you will have a room at the Poblenou Campus in Barcelona, where you will have access to quality resources and schedules tailored to your needs. My goal is to guide you every step of your musical journey, helping you develop your skills and enjoy the learning process.

Learning!
- The fundamentals of musical language: reading sheet music, rhythm, bars and more.
- Basic techniques for playing the violin: posture, tuning, bow and first melodies.
- Development of musicality and artistic sensitivity.
- Practical methods to advance quickly and enjoy learning.

Graduated in Music, with experience in both the classical repertoire (Baroque, Classicism, Romanticism) and modern and popular music styles (Jazz, pop, rock), I offer my services to give piano and keyboard lessons, for all ages, children and adults from initiation to the instrument to intermediate/advanced. The classes are oriented so that students can play from the first day. And in this way they enjoy the learning process, complemented with other subjects such as musical language, harmony and improvisation.

Are you looking to learn violin or guitar in a supportive, inspiring and structured way?

I’m a professional music educator with over 20 years of experience teaching children, teens and adults in the U.S., Spain and internationally. My lessons focus on building a strong musical foundation while helping you enjoy the process and gain confidence.

Lessons are personalized to your level, goals and learning style. We work on technique, musicality, rhythm, ear training and repertoire you enjoy, whether you are a complete beginner or returning to music after time away.

I specialize in:
– Violin and guitar for beginners and intermediate students
– Adult learners and late starters
– Developing solid technique without tension
– Making music feel accessible, expressive and motivating

Lessons are interactive, clear and encouraging. My goal is not just to teach notes, but to help you feel at home with your instrument and enjoy making music from the very beginning.
