ES: I'm a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of La Haya, where I studied composition. I'm also a pianist with over 14 years of classical training, studying at conservatories and performing in numerous concert halls.

You have helped me understand my knowledge and perspective on music from around the world, to some extent!
As children and adults get to know certain classes over time, this can be adjusted if necessary.

No guys are out to get in touch with me, and I'm enchanted by the idea of talking about our interests, whether it's sea solfeo, playing the piano, or composing songs of any genre. You can also come to your house!

ADVERTISING: Tengo mucha energía y entusiasmo :)
I speak English and Spanish!

EN: I am a doctoral student at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, where I studied composition. I am also a classically trained pianist with more than 14 years of experience studying at conservatories and playing in numerous venues.

I have always loved sharing my knowledge and attitude towards music with everyone, at every level!
Having taught children and adults privately for so long, I can adapt to any need.

Contact me, and I'd be happy to discuss your interests, whether it's solfège, piano technique, or songwriting of any genre. I can even come to you!

WARNING: I'm very excited :)
I speak English and Spanish!

I am a graduate of the Royal College of Music in London, where I lived for 12 years. As well as my private lessons, I currently teach at Conservatoire of Barcelona to advanced pupils and at the British College of Gava to beginners pupils.

Individual lessons enables me to tailor and adapt my teaching to every pupil's needs; helping them to learn the repertoire or skills that each individual requires. I cover styles such as classical, pop, jazz and contemporary and I am also happy with pupils who don't necessarily want to learn how to read music (solfege).

I have prepared and entered pupils for the ABRSM and Trinity-Guildhall exams as well as for the entry exams/auditions of conservatoires and music colleges of Spain and Europe. I was also a professor in the Music faculty at Madrid's 'University Centre TAI' and at the 'Trinity Music Academy' in London. I am a member of both, the Royal Society of Arts and of the Incorporated Society of Musicians in London.

A young clarinetist and teacher, he graduated in Higher Education with a specialization in clarinet performance from the Conservatori Superior del Liceu, with Isaac Rodríguez as his teacher, and completed the first year of the Bachelor's Degree in Primary Education. He has also attended regular classes with Miguel Espejo and master classes with Giovanni Punzi, Nicolas Baldeyrou, Phillip Berrod, Hedwig Swimberghe, Josep Fuster, Luís Gomes, and José Luis Estellés.
He has been part of the Ataúlfo Argenta Youth Symphony Orchestra for 7 years, as well as participating in concerts in some of the great theaters on the national scene, such as the Gran Teatre del Liceu, L'Auditori de Barcelona or the Euskalduna Palace, alongside artists of renowned prestige, such as Pacho Flores, Joyce DiDonato or Jordi Savall, and performed symphonic works under the baton of Hugo Carrio, Borja Quintas, Manel Valdivieso, Jhoanna Sierralta, José R. Pascual-Vilaplana or Lara Diloy.

Additionally, currently (2025), he is working as the sole author on the composition of the soundtrack for a feature film, as well as creating music through more personal projects.

In the pedagogical field, I have been teaching clarinet and musical language classes for 8 years.
My specialty is the clarinet, but I offer lessons in harmony, composition, musical analysis, musical language (solfeggio), piano and guitar.
In these years I have learned with students of all ages, from the youngest years to older adults, both in private classes and in music schools, and the result for everyone (including me) has been enjoyment and learning. The most important thing, I think, to be able to learn without dying in the attempt, is that there is a great understanding, and that is why I love that they ask me questions and everything is always clear, since music is not an easy discipline, but it deserves the grief. And it is especially worth it when you understand what is happening to you while you learn and fall and learn again (both in music and in your emotions when practicing an artistic discipline live).

Learn to play the trombone in a fast and fun way, going through the different styles (classical, jazz, funk, reggae, pop,...) that forged the status of this versatile instrument with a lot of potential. I organize my classes in 4 blocks: warm-up ("warm-up"), technique, improvisation and interpretation (which includes reading, solo and transcription of the teachers).

Hello everyone, I give private lessons in saxophone, music theory, composition, improvisation and piano rudiments.

My name is Beatrice, I am from Italy and I am 26 years old. I tell you a little about myself.
I trained as a classical musician at the Music School of Fiesole, Florence, on saxophone and piano. After a two-year experience at the CAM School of Music in Florence, in 2015 I moved to Valencia to carry out an Intensive Intermediate Jazz Workshop in the Sedajazz musicians' collective with the teachers Alexey León and Jesús Santandreu. I graduated in Linguistic and Cultural Mediation while doing musical projects with various Florentine groups, studying saxophone with Maestro Claudio Giovagnoli. In 2021 I came to Spain for the Master's Degree in Music as an interdisciplinary art of UB/ESMUC/URV. I graduate in September 2022 with thesis ''Music as a tool for the deconstruction of traditional binary power structures: a journey through gender, body and voice''. For the last year I have wanted to experiment musically with the EWI 4000s Electronic Wind Synthesizer. I am now attending a music production course on Ableton Live.

I am currently teaching piano as an experienced pianist with 25 years of piano experience, who has a title from the international music competition 'Jugendmusiziert' (competition for Deutsche Schule students in the world), a diploma from the piano program of the Istanbul Conservatory (Ispirtohane) and from the London College of Music with 8 grades in solo piano and music theory. Important: Please send me a message before booking a lesson if you would like to have a Spanish lesson (I am not a native speaker)

I speak Turkish, English and German very well, and I am currently improving my Spanish as well. I already give lessons to my younger students in Spanish, if I feel that the communication is good enough. But I can also help English, German and Turkish speaking students with conservatory exams, Royal Academy / London College of Music exams, learning music theory, harmony, improving technique or preparing a repertoire.

I used to work at a school called Opus Music School in Istanbul, which is licensed for LCM exams, with students of various ages, preparing them for the exams.

I have a self-developed teaching methodology, which helps students improve their skills along with knowledge of music theory and music history, which I believe is essential for classical piano education.

From reading notes and understanding classical music mathematics to conservatory exams or preparing classical repertoire, I would be happy to share this adventure with you in English, German, Spanish or Turkish! I use various materials, especially in the beginning, to improve the sense of rhythm, understand music theory and improve performance skills.

Feel free to contact me for more information!

My teaching method adapts to each student's needs and prior knowledge. I place great importance on ensuring they can play from the beginning, incorporating music theory gradually and always based on the needs of each piece or exercise. This way, we avoid overwhelming them with abstract concepts and learn them in context, when they're truly needed.

I am patient and flexible, and I understand that each person has their own pace, strengths, and challenges.
The goal is to provide personalized support throughout the learning process, making each class enjoyable, stimulating, and enriching.
