Do you want to START or IMPROVE your technique and sound?
Do you feel STUCK in your progress?
Are you BORED of always doing the same thing and in the same way?
Do you need a STUDY PLAN to improve at home?

Together we can give that boost to your development and make you feel MOTIVATED to practice seeing REAL progress. You are the protagonist. In addition, we will create a good musical FOUNDATION so that you can face any genre or style that you propose. We can learn from more classical pieces or from modern music (from the sXX). I ADAPT to your MUSICAL TASTES.
Even the greatest gave classes to learn and improve!

We can investigate STYLES such as (Pop, Blues, Rock, Classic, Acoustic, Soul, R&B, Country, etc).
We can develop your TECHNIQUE so that you can make a qualitative leap in your sound.
We will talk about music THEORY, if you want, so you have a good baggage.
I can teach you to IMPROVISE and COMPOSE.
We can prepare TESTS for conservatory or Rockschool exams if you need it.

: I have several groups where I bring my students together online, to give them extra training.
Groups of:
- Musical language.
- Harmony and Theory.
- Auditory training.
- Composition and Improvisation.
- (These classes are recorded so you can see them at another time if you can't attend).

[[ Possibility of ONLINE classes ]]

Anhelina
A young and enthusiastic tutor who has more than 15 years of experience in musical performance, who is constantly developing her skills and learning new instruments (currently, violin and guitar :).
I come from Ukraine and have a diploma from a completed 8-year piano, music theory and choir degree from Russian and Ukrainian musical academies. I am very proud of the educational background I have since my teachers had always been very strict yet fair with their ways of teaching, which gave me a strong base as a musician, and, later on, as a tutor. Moreover, I have studied psychology here in Spain for 3 years at a university, so I get on well with many different personalities and know how to approach stressful situations.
I must mention that I am passionate about spending my time with kids and sharing the skills and experience I have with people.

I speak Spanish, but offer classes in English, so my students can also practice their English while in the class. Of course, if the student prefers to keep it in Spanish, it is not a problem for me.

I am happy to help beginners with meeting piano for the first time, as well as tutoring students with some experience to help them with practising at home, pointing out the most crucial areas of improvement in order to reach the best result possible. Regarding the working hours, they need to be confirmed before booking the lesson, since I may/may not be available sometimes. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any doubts or questions! I don't bite :)

Pierpaolo
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!

About Pierpa:

Pierpaolo is a guitarist and composer born in 1995 from central Italy (Le Marche, Recanati). At the age of 12 he picked up a classical guitar for the first time (which he still owns) and since then he has not stopped playing, practicing and inventing with it. He currently lives in Barcelona (Spain) where he mainly teaches rock, jazz and flamenco. In fact, his studies range from jazz (he has 2 degrees in jazz guitar) to flamenco. In Barcelona Pierpaolo attends the ESMUC conservatory. "I am Pierpaolo, a professional guitarist with a Bachelor and Master's degree in Jazz Guitar (110 cum laude) and with experience studying other styles such as blues, rock, pop, funk, latin, fusion, flamenco. I have 10 years of experience as a teacher and have played at many festivals and events as a guitarist, in ensembles ranging from solo guitar to orchestra and big band. My passion for music always makes me have fun in classes with my guitar students. I also have experience in the recording studio as an author, composer, arranger, producer and collaborator."
