Guitar and Ukulele Teacher · Jazz,
From 66 C$ /h
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 guitar in "L'Òpera de Tres Rals" (Teatre Lliure) and in January I will return to the musical "Germans de Sang" (Teatre Condal), in addition to having 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:
• Introduction to guitar / ukulele
• Rhythm and instrumental technique
• Harmony and music theory
• Solfège and music reading
• Improvisation
• Scales and chords
• Composition and arrangements
· Styles: Jazz, Blues, Pop, Funk, Reggae, Classical, Country...
• Our own teaching materials in PDF and audio format
The lessons last 1 hour and are held in my studio. It is recommended that the student have their own instrument and tuner.
Write to me and I'll tell you how we can get started!

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.
