Hi, my name is Jo and I am a voice coach. Together we start working with music in a fun and comfortable way. All ages and levels are welcome: from beginner to advanced. I specialize in light music: RnB, Pop, Musical, Rock. You choose the style you want to develop.

By means of an intuitive, scientifically based approach, we get past all the confusion surrounding vocal technique and start immediately with what is really important - learn to sing your favorite music. In my lessons, I teach you, using practical information and exercises, how your voice works. No endless scale exercises here.

Javier
Hello, my name is Javier. I am a guitarist, composer, sound technician, and music producer. I work professionally, especially in contemporary Jazz.

During more than 15 years of experience as a teacher, I have developed several methods and exercises for teaching guitar and music (songs, theory, composition, improvisation, harmony, etc.) for students of all levels and all ages. I have already had students from 6 years old to 74.

I believe that the most important thing is that the students manage to find the motivation to practice regularly with the pleasure of progressing.


Method:

The most common is the use of songs that the student chooses and takes advantage of this to work on more general concepts of music and the guitar which are important to acquire a solid base without bad habits.

For more advanced students the learning process is determined together by setting personal goals.

The teaching method is totally focused on the individual needs of each student.

Students with any level of knowledge in music (self-taught, beginners, advanced ...) are accepted.


Interview:

01
- Since when did you develop a passion for music and more particularly for your favorite instrument?

- I became interested in the guitar at the age of ten. I had a friend who played "Blackbird" music by The Beatles and I was fascinated. From there, I started to study and I continue to learn today.


02
- What music can you listen to on repeat with the same pleasure (and without going crazy)?

- Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.


03
- Tell us about the most difficult or amazing lesson you have given!

- It would be a class where I have to explain the major and minor tonality and all its variants in one hour of class. But I will get there!


04
- In your opinion, what is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

- It was impossible to answer. Each person has different predispositions.
For me to play the piano at a high level would be complicated for the need for independence of the right and left hands. In this sense, the guitar is easier.


05
- What are, for you, the keys to success (apart from those of Sol and Fa)?

- Constance, it's always better to practice a little every day than a lot once in a while.
Patience, learning an instrument takes time. You have to learn to coordinate the body and the brain and take new paths from time to time.
And the most important :
Don't be afraid of making mistakes, to learn it is essential to make mistakes and this should not be a reason to stop practicing, on the contrary, it should be a motivation to improve.


06
- Name 3 musicians with whom you would dream of jamming in a bar at 2 a.m. and tell us why!

- Tigran Hamasyan, Reinier Baas, Avishai Cohen (bassist)


07
- An anecdote to tell in relation to your job or your schooling (and not necessarily the party you had after entering the Conservatory)?

- When I started giving lessons (I was 17), I had a 10-year-old student, when I suggested things to do, he looked me directly in the eye and said: No!
But with patience, after a while, I managed to make a connection with him and at the end of the 3 years he played the guitar very well and we became friends. Now he is more or less 25 years old.


08
- What is the little touch that makes you a special teacher adored by all his students?

- I am very patient and I always find the best way to explain to each student.
