I'm Cristian, a professional musician and guitar and ukulele teacher with over 18 years of experience teaching in public and private music schools, conservatories, and community centers in Barcelona. I hold a Higher Diploma in Guitar, Jazz, and Modern Music from ESMUC.

I have worked in centers such as the Taller de Músics, the Escola Municipal de Música de Tiana or ESART, and I combine teaching with an active artistic career: I currently play in the musical Germans de Sang at the Teatre Condal in Barcelona, and I have been an orchestra guitarist on P&O cruise ships for three seasons.

I offer lessons for all levels, from beginner to advanced. Whether you're just starting out or have been playing for years, there's always something new to learn and improve.

In my classes I work on the following content in a personalized way:

• Scales and chords
• Composition and arrangements
· Styles: Jazz, Blues, Pop, Funk, Reggae, Classical, Country...

Experience / Qualifications
My training as a jazz and modern music performer was shaped at L'AULA del Conservatori del Liceu and ESMUC, where I obtained my Superior Degree in Guitar.

I have worked as a teacher at institutions such as Taller de Músics, Escola Municipal de Música de Tiana, ESART, American Lake Music and Escola Pública Els Pinetons, among others. I currently teach at the Centres Cívics Sagrada Família and Les Tovalloles in Barcelona.

As a performer, I have played at venues including Jamboree Jazz Club, MNAC, L'Auditori (with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra), Palau Reial de Pedralbes and Sant Pau Recinte Modernista. In 2026 I am part of the cast of the musical Germans de Sang at the Teatre Condal in Barcelona.

From 2023 to 2025 I worked as an orchestra guitarist on P&O cruise ships Britannia, Azura and Aurora.

In 2015 I released the album A Strings Affair, which received strong reviews both nationally (Jazz Butlletí AMJM) and internationally, including airplay on a Canadian jazz radio station in Winnipeg. That same year I performed in the musical RENT at the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona.

I am the founder and director of Fantasía Quintet, a guitar and string quartet ensemble performing film soundtrack arrangements, with tours across Barcelona's civic centres and concerts with Fever Candlelight Concerts.

I create musical arrangements for companies such as Fever (Candlelight Concerts) and artists like Alice Wonder, as well as for groups such as the Quinteto Sommeliers.

In 2013 I contributed to the soundtrack of the documentary Dani Jarque, l'Etern Capità.

I am also the author of the didactic book 10 Canciones Fáciles para Guitarra Eléctrica, available on Amazon, aimed at students aged 6 to 14.

A flamenco guitar course in private classes is an incredibly enriching experience. During these classes, I will completely focus on you and your goals as a flamenco guitarist.

We will begin by exploring the world of flamenco together: its history, its diverse styles and its unique emotions. As we progress, you will learn the essential techniques of the flamenco guitar, such as the strumming, the "picao" and the golpe, among others. My goal will be to help you master these techniques and express yourself fluently and passionately through your guitar.

In addition, we will delve into the fascinating flamenco compás, so that you can understand and play the characteristic rhythms of this genre. I will also teach you the chords and harmonic progressions that are commonly used in flamenco, as well as the scales and musical modes that give it its unique flavor.

The best thing about private classes is that I can adapt the course to your needs and preferences. If you have a particular style of flamenco that you'd like to explore further, we'll do it! We will also address your pain points and work together to overcome them.

During the classes, I will be by your side to correct you, answer your questions and give you constant feedback. In addition, I will teach you iconic pieces of the flamenco repertoire so that you can develop your own interpretation and personal style.

With time and dedicated practice, I'm sure you'll be able to play flamenco with passion and mastery. I am excited to embark on this musical journey with you and help you achieve your goals as a flamenco guitarist. Together, let's make magical music!
