About Me

I am a Spanish musician based in Geneva since 2019. I have pursued extensive musical training in several European countries, obtaining a Bachelor of Music at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique de Castilla y León (Spain), a Master of Music Performance at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (Netherlands), as well as a Master of Performance (Soloist Orientation) and a Master of Instrumental Music Pedagogy at the Haute école de musique de Genève (Switzerland). These years of study have allowed me to develop solid technical mastery, great artistic sensitivity, and a rich and open pedagogical vision.

Winner of 19 prizes in international competitions, I have had the opportunity to perform at numerous prestigious festivals across Europe and collaborate with renowned orchestras. I have performed in iconic venues such as the Wiener Konzerthaus, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Victoria Hall in Geneva, and the Konzerthaus in Berlin. At the same time, I have recorded for various European television and radio stations.

Drawn to the saxophone's expressive richness, I am interested in a wide variety of styles and repertoires, from classical to jazz, including world music. This versatility informs my artistic practice as much as my teaching.

For several years, I have been teaching saxophone at various music schools in the cantons of Geneva and Vaud. I support students of all ages and backgrounds, with a personalized, motivating, and caring approach. My goal: to foster each student's passion for music by developing solid technique, a personal artistic sense, and, above all, the joy of playing.

Passionate about music and graduated from the Conservatory of Music in Geneva, private guitar teacher since 2015, I started playing the guitar at the age of 8 in 1999, I want to teach you to play this instrument in a simple and intuitive way.

My hours are flexible and I also teach on weekends.
I am always happy to teach this instrument to whoever wants it so I encourage you to contact me even with a simple question.

As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship.

As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years.

Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument!
I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra.

In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

Patient, pedagogical, and attentive to the student's needs, my lessons are structured to help them progress quickly. My motivation for teaching stems from a desire to share my passion for music with everyone.

In my courses, practice and theory have an equal place: technical exercises, clarifications in solfège, chamber music and simple pieces then more complex depending on the student's level and desires.

Indeed, you are free to choose what you want to work on, suggest pieces as well as delve deeper into a particular point, a specific technique for the more experienced.

Having started playing this instrument at the age of six, my deep attraction to music developed gradually through dance, chamber music and the orchestra in particular.

Currently, I give private and group lessons (from musical awakening to more advanced levels) as well as concerts in different venues (churches, performance halls, hospitals, EMS).

I was educated at the CRR of Rueil-Malmaison where I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) a few years ago, then at the Geneva Higher School of Music (HEM).

For the past ten years, I have been gaining experience in cello and music theory pedagogy, which is constantly evolving and requires ongoing personal reflection on oneself and the student, as well as a certain degree of adaptability. My students are of all ages and levels.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the position of Music Teacher. With more than twenty five years of experience in music education, performance, and artistic development, I bring a deep passion for teaching and a holistic approach to music as both a discipline and a form of personal expression.

Throughout my career, I have worked with students of different ages, levels, and cultural backgrounds, supporting them in building strong technical skills while encouraging creativity, confidence, and emotional connection to music. My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that music education should inspire curiosity and joy, alongside structure, discipline, and artistic integrity.

In addition to my teaching work, I am an active musician whose compositions and performances have reached an international audience through platforms such as SoundCloud. Listener feedback consistently highlights the emotional depth, originality, and atmospheric quality of my music, often describing it as expressive, cinematic, and deeply moving. This ongoing interaction with a global audience enriches my teaching, allowing me to share real-world artistic experience with my students and encourage them to develop their own authentic musical voice.

I have also contributed to collaborative artistic projects, including volunteer work composing and creating music for the Geneva theatre production Monolog 2020. This experience strengthened my ability to work in interdisciplinary environments and deepened my understanding of how music supports storytelling, stage performance, and emotional expression.

I consider creativity an essential part of both my professional and personal life. Outside of music, I enjoy painting, which further develops my sense of color, form, and expression—elements that strongly influence my musical interpretation and teaching. I am also passionate about skiing, a sport that reflects values I bring into my work: focus, discipline, perseverance, and the ability to adapt to changing conditions with confidence and calm.

Over the years, I have developed a flexible, student-centered teaching approach, adapting methods to individual learning styles and goals. My experience includes individual and group instruction, performance preparation, and long-term artistic mentoring. I value collaboration with colleagues, clear communication with students and parents, and continuous professional growth.

I would be honored to contribute my experience, creativity, and dedication to your institution. I am confident that my background as both a teacher and an active artist would allow me to make a meaningful contribution to your educational environment.

Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my experience and teaching philosophy.

Yours sincerely,

Emilio

I offer recorder and/or music theory lessons, tailored to each student's needs. You can choose to focus on the instrument, deepen your musical understanding through music theory, or combine both for a comprehensive learning experience. For recorder, we work on breath control, fingering, articulation, posture, interpretation of early and contemporary repertoire, ornamentation, improvisation, and more. For music theory, I adapt my method to your level: reading notes and rhythms, listening skills, identifying intervals, fundamental harmonics, and understanding musical language. My approach is dynamic, supportive, and structured, always attentive to the student's pace and interests.

You want to get to know your voice, sing with your body, and understand how your voice works. Singing is an exciting playground. I invite you to explore, in a gentle and supportive space, to experience it and become familiar with your instrument.
I also provide you with the keys to understanding and reading sheet music so that you can read music or deepen your musical knowledge.
Finally, I'll give you some basic piano skills so I can accompany you if needed.
