About Me
Hello! I am Juan, I am cellist from the Sevilla, Spain. Very curious and sensitive for what music has brought to my life. I lived in Utrecht for 5 years already and now I am recently graduated from my master studies in HKU Conservatory.I meet the world of music when I was 6, singing in a choir in festivals and retirement houses, and at 12 I started my cello training. I met quite a wide range of cello teachers. I learnt from some of them what helps me to play and from other, I learnt what it did not help me at all. All useful with different purposes. At the age of 17 years old started to teach following the recommendation of a teacher. I had some students for a period longer than 4 years.
Throughout my educational years I did not feel particularly what I was doing, but I loved music. During my masters i figured it out that I have a pretty flexible joints all over my body, so my cello playing also was kind of particular. Sometimes I had to work really hard for things that other fellow colleagues had for granted. I had to work hard to get an idea about what I was doing. There is nothing wrong about stopping and checking how things are. That’s what I do, checking and sorting a more economic plan to go to YOUR next step.
In my lessons I focus on using the power of our brain to make our body ready to make music. I like very much the idea of creating a beautiful and deep cello sound. Do you want to try my recipe? Let’s start together your sound search.

Regular piano lessons too difficult? Then try piano lessons with me!In piano lessons, we use the book method of Notus or Hal Leonard.
Everything is explained step by step and you gradually learn to read music and know the piano.
At the start of our lessons we'll take a look at what is important to you. What goals do you want to set, and what feels achievable and comfortable?
We set long-term goals of, for example, a year. Completely tailored to where you are at, right now.
During the lessons I am patient, motivating, encouraging, and complimenting. I'll point out what could be better, and also pay attention to how you can play more easily. And much more. Tailored to your needs and wishes.

Classical and modern cello classes in BarcelonaHello! I've been teaching continuously for over 10 years, and I'd like to explain what you can expect from a class with me.
Personalized approach: The most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I will tailor the lessons to your needs: playing for pleasure at home is not the same as preparing for entrance exams (although always with the same rigor). Your goals will influence the methodology, the organization of your studies, the repertoire, and so on.
Relaxed (but rigorous) environment: Once you've defined your goals, classes will be dynamic and pressure-free. Note! "Relaxed" doesn't mean undemanding; we'll just avoid military methods—especially given my personality and sense of humor.
Music, not just notes: My methods are very dynamic, with a special emphasis on hearing and musicality. No "read, play, and turn the page." I avoid approaches obsessed with reading sheet music without memorizing, listening, or understanding what is being played. I want you to own your performance and make artistic decisions. Warning! I might even make you sing.
No stylistic barriers: Thanks to my training in Jazz and Modern Music, I give equal importance to all genres. Adapting to your tastes, we'll go from baroque to blues, from Haydn to bebop... or even Michael Jackson. Why not?
If you identify with this approach, contact me! Learning the cello is a pleasure, and I'd love to share it with you!
