A young clarinetist and teacher, he graduated in Higher Education with a specialization in clarinet performance from the Conservatori Superior del Liceu, with Isaac Rodríguez as his teacher, and completed the first year of the Bachelor's Degree in Primary Education. He has also attended regular classes with Miguel Espejo and master classes with Giovanni Punzi, Nicolas Baldeyrou, Phillip Berrod, Hedwig Swimberghe, Josep Fuster, Luís Gomes, and José Luis Estellés.
He has been part of the Ataúlfo Argenta Youth Symphony Orchestra for 7 years, as well as participating in concerts in some of the great theaters on the national scene, such as the Gran Teatre del Liceu, L'Auditori de Barcelona or the Euskalduna Palace, alongside artists of renowned prestige, such as Pacho Flores, Joyce DiDonato or Jordi Savall, and performed symphonic works under the baton of Hugo Carrio, Borja Quintas, Manel Valdivieso, Jhoanna Sierralta, José R. Pascual-Vilaplana or Lara Diloy.

Additionally, currently (2025), he is working as the sole author on the composition of the soundtrack for a feature film, as well as creating music through more personal projects.

In the pedagogical field, I have been teaching clarinet and musical language classes for 8 years.
My specialty is the clarinet, but I offer lessons in harmony, composition, musical analysis, musical language (solfeggio), piano and guitar.
In these years I have learned with students of all ages, from the youngest years to older adults, both in private classes and in music schools, and the result for everyone (including me) has been enjoyment and learning. The most important thing, I think, to be able to learn without dying in the attempt, is that there is a great understanding, and that is why I love that they ask me questions and everything is always clear, since music is not an easy discipline, but it deserves the grief. And it is especially worth it when you understand what is happening to you while you learn and fall and learn again (both in music and in your emotions when practicing an artistic discipline live).

I structure the class in a personalized way for each of the participants; adapted to your level, your motivation, and the speed of learning. We review diverse material that allows to strengthen the knowledge acquired in each class, and that allows to develop the creativity of the participant.
All in a fun-filled educational setting.

The piano is an orchestra in one instrument! Learning to play this instrument provides the basis for composition, learning harmony and developing musical skill. Age does not matter - I teach beginners to advanced players.

My approach is artistic and creative, meaning there is a focus on the strengthening of individual expression and abilities while learning the basics of music, how to play and perform , as well as how to compose.
Music theory is integrated into practical lessons so that an overall knowledge of music is achieved no matter what we study! At the same time I offer theory lessons on its own for those interested.

Students have the option of playing and learning for enjoyment/personal progress or passing piano and theory exams (Trinity, ABRSM).

Hello! I've been teaching continuously for over 10 years, and I'd like to explain what you can expect from a class with me.

Personalized approach: The most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I will tailor the lessons to your needs: playing for pleasure at home is not the same as preparing for entrance exams (although always with the same rigor). Your goals will influence the methodology, the organization of your studies, the repertoire, and so on.

Relaxed (but rigorous) environment: Once you've defined your goals, classes will be dynamic and pressure-free. Note! "Relaxed" doesn't mean undemanding; we'll just avoid military methods—especially given my personality and sense of humor.

Music, not just notes: My methods are very dynamic, with a special emphasis on hearing and musicality. No "read, play, and turn the page." I avoid approaches obsessed with reading sheet music without memorizing, listening, or understanding what is being played. I want you to own your performance and make artistic decisions. Warning! I might even make you sing.

No stylistic barriers: Thanks to my training in Jazz and Modern Music, I give equal importance to all genres. Adapting to your tastes, we'll go from baroque to blues, from Haydn to bebop... or even Michael Jackson. Why not?

If you identify with this approach, contact me! Learning the cello is a pleasure, and I'd love to share it with you!

In my classes I always seek to maintain a balance between the development of basic knowledge, composition techniques and creativity. These are the three fundamental pillars that any person dedicated to composition needs.

Basic knowledge: Many are afraid of learning "too much" theory, because they believe that it can kill creativity. But what I precisely want to teach in my classes is a practical approach, where theoretical knowledge serves to further develop creativity.

Composition techniques: Each class I give small composition tasks, things that can be developed in the time you have available between classes, where we will explore different composition techniques and how they can be applied within the musical language that you want to develop.

Creativity: We work here in two ways, the first is on a project you are working on, for example a piece for your own instrument, a project for a competition or entrance exam, a song, etc. The second way is through improvisation exercises on your instrument. We will do this together, since I play violin and piano. With this we are seeing how to give space to musical intuition, to be able to capture ideas and then concretize them in a composition.

These three elements are present in each class, which is usually divided into 20-minute sections, so a lesson usually lasts 1 hour.

I offer piano lessons with a wide-ranging musical education. Besides learning and developing musical skills, we will work on playing and practicing techniques, meanwhile discovering the student's own voice, exploring the diversity of tools for musical expressions, reading sheet music and understanding musical language, deepening music theory, harmony and musical interpretation. I would like to share my knowledge with the help of classical music and Kodály method, learning about different music styles and genres. However, non-classical music can be easily used during the lessons, depending on personal preference and demands. The classes are personalized and built upon the student's knowledge and experience, furthermore, any request is welcome regarding musical pieces, topics and aims. Besides interiorizing new skills and knowledge, my goal is to share the joy and creativity of music through the process of learning and improving, to enrich one's life, representing art and values.

This course is aimed at both beginners who want to learn from scratch and intermediate students who want to improve their musical skills. Also people who need support at some Elementary Grade level. It can be complemented with piano lessons.

This class aims to provide students with a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of music theory and develop skills in rhythm reading. Throughout the course, topics such as notes, accidentals and musical symbols, measures and timing, scales, as well as the interpretation of sheet music will be covered. Practical exercises and their applications in real musical examples will be carried out. Course objectives include mastering music theory, rhythm reading, appreciating music on a deeper level, and preparing for musical performance and composition.

From the perspective of a concert pianist, I provide a comprehensive variety of adaptable lessons suitable for students at all levels. My teaching covers a broad range of music genres: from classical to jazz, pop, neoclassical, and film music.

With over a decade of experience as an educator, I specialize in preparing students for internationally recognized music examinations such as ABRSM, Trinity College, and the Conservatori del Liceu in Barcelona. However, i set the personal goal of each student at the center of the lessons. I have also spent four years teaching at a school affiliated with Liceu, fostering musical growth in students.

My aim in the lessons is to cultivate a welcoming atmosphere where students feel motivated to progress and enjoy music.

Would you like to learn piano or deepen your music theory with a professional? I teach piano and music theory classes at all levels, in both Spanish and English, adapting to your personal needs and goals.

My training includes a Professional Degree in Piano, studies in singing and modern composition, and I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Music Management and Production at ESMUC (Catalan School of Music).

Each class is designed to create an inspiring environment where you can explore both technique and performance, and delve into harmony and music theory in a practical and accessible way. With experience teaching students of all ages, I adapt well to the learning of young children, providing dynamic and engaging instruction that makes music a fun and motivating experience.

My guitar lessons are a real experience for those who study with me. What matters most to me is that my student can fulfill his desires with the guitar and music. I do not impose predetermined classes, but I leave the person free to express what he wants to learn. I am helpful in transmitting to you the skills that are right for you. When you enter my studio room it is like stopping time and being able to focus on yourself, on your sensations and on what really makes you happy with the guitar. There will be work to do, but I promise that the journey will be pleasant and the result incredible. You will discover that you are capable of doing great things!

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.

I am a pianist who graduated with honors from the "U. Giordano" Conservatory in Foggia, with a Master's degree in Classical Performance from the ESMUC in Barcelona, and currently a professor at the Vic Conservatory (Catalonia). Throughout my career, I have combined concert performance with teaching, working with students of various ages and levels, from beginners to musicians in professional training. My teaching approach is based on personalized learning, integrating technique, expression, and artistic development.

I am convinced that teaching is a mutual process of growth and discovery. My experience and training in music pedagogy have allowed me to develop a flexible approach tailored to the needs of each student, always seeking to motivate and support students in their musical development.

Unlock the magic behind the music! This engaging and accessible class blends music theory with hands-on instruction on either the piano or flute, giving you the tools to understand and express yourself through music.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a more experienced musician, this class meets you where you are. You’ll learn:
• The foundations of music theory (rhythm, intervals, keys, chords, etc.)
• How theory connects directly to what you play
• How to read music more confidently
• How to develop your ear and musical intuition
• How to apply theory creatively in real music — not just exercises!

Students may choose to focus on piano or flute, with personalized guidance tailored to your goals and instrument of choice.

🎼 No age limit. No experience required. Just bring curiosity and your love for music

My teaching method adapts to each student's needs and prior knowledge. I place great importance on ensuring they can play from the beginning, incorporating music theory gradually and always based on the needs of each piece or exercise. This way, we avoid overwhelming them with abstract concepts and learn them in context, when they're truly needed.

I am patient and flexible, and I understand that each person has their own pace, strengths, and challenges.
The goal is to provide personalized support throughout the learning process, making each class enjoyable, stimulating, and enriching.
