    FREQUENT QUESTIONS

    Do I need my own instrument?

    Yes! It will be your companion on this journey. If you're just starting out, I suggest you rent it and eventually buy it.
    I can help you check the equipment and advise you in everything I can.

    What if I am a beginner?

    Absolutely nothing, any musician who wants to learn is welcome in my class.

    Keep in mind that if you have no notions of musical language, you must receive simultaneous classes to have basic notions.

    You can't make music without knowing its language.


    How often can we teach?

    It depends on your circumstances, maturity and your schedule. I always try to adapt to the needs of my students, combining it with my concert schedule. For the little ones, I recommend shorter classes. If, for example, you work, classes every two weeks are a good option.


    Where are the classes held?

    , I teach classes only in my studio, since here I have all the scores, instruments, gadgets and facilities that I use to teach.

    If you live far away, the online model works great, in fact, that's how all my students have passed the tests this year.

    Both can also be combined effectively.

    What are we going to work on in class?

    What you want and need, depending on your goals eg. an entrance test, we will approach music as a science. That is to say from mathematics, acoustics, physics, neurology and anatomy of the human body.

    We will work on the technique, methodology, research, historical analysis and similar procedures.

    In class we will also practice the values of effort, perseverance, hard work or respect, in a relaxed way but without stopping working.


    How will I achieve my goals?

    Through supervision, honesty, and my total dedication, I love this job, and my students' successes are my own, as are their failures.


    How much do I have to study?

    The important thing is to be constant, depending on age and level. If the study is efficient, between 45min and 1h a day.
    In addition, I will teach you study and memorization techniques so that you can progress quickly. It is important that you get a metronome.


    What material did you bring to class?

    Don't forget to bring your instrument and bow, Strap, rosin, correctors, sheet music, a notebook of staves and a normal notebook to jot down ideas and exercises.


    What kind of teacher am I going to find?

    Methodical. Consistent, empirical disciplined, flexible, relaxed, but above all, honest and empathic.

    Classical and modern cello classes in Barcelona
    Hello! 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!

    Music teacher offers electric bass and guitar lessons
    Hello, I'm Alan González! I'm a musician from Guadalajara, Jalisco, with a passion for teaching. I'm passionate about music in general and especially about sharing what I know about it. It would be a real pleasure to introduce you to or support you in your musical learning. I like to apply a personalized teaching method to each student, according to their needs and desires. I understand that it's sometimes difficult to maintain enthusiasm and perseverance when studying something new, so I offer a very patient environment.

    Online Classes of Piano, Keyboards and Musical Language
    The Tecla y Música Workshop is a space designed to learn and develop your musical and expressive sense through the piano and / or keyboards. The main objective is to learn to make music and enjoy the learning process and its results. The material with which we work (songs, instrumental pieces and exercises) is mainly oriented to your musical taste, and the choice is based on gradually expanding your technical and expressive possibilities, while exploring different musical styles. In this way, different tools are being incorporated to achieve, in a short term, mastery and fluency over the musical language and the instrument. Given that each student has different interests and concerns, whether playing as a hobby or developing a professional career, composing, improvising, etc., the orientation of the classes is built according to the possibilities and particular needs of each case. The work proposal implies a weekly class frequency to achieve optimal work dynamics and that the results are visible in a short term. There is also the possibility of taking isolated classes in order to solve a specific objective such as developing and perfecting some particular aspect of music practice and / or theory as well as preparing instrument exams or theoretical subjects for institutions of musical studies.

    Progressive music theory / music composition workshop
    With university composition and harmony and counterpoint teaching experience, and years of professional freelance experience, I aspire to make learners of all ages, experiences and abilities the best musicians they can be. Stemming from exploring what makes music sound the way it does (in any genre), I help learners understand how to make the music they want to, in a progressive developmental and supportive way. This class offers individual, personalised music theory / music composition (in any genre) training or tutorial support for learners of all ages, abilities and experiences.

    CELLO & MUSIC LESSONS FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS WITH A PROFESSIONAL CELLIST WITH 10 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE (IN PERSON AND ONLINE)
    Are you in love with the sound of the cello but have never dared to start playing it? Have you been playing the cello as an amateur and now need an expert to guide you? Do you want to develop and improve your cello and musical skills? Do you need reinforcement lessons? Would you like to prepare for entrance exams to the conservatory? Would you love to join a youth orchestra and need help preparing for the auditions? ... These are the private cello lessons you were looking for! My name is Miriam, I am a graduate in Master of Classical Music at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent and currently I am studying a Posgraduate in Musical Performance Practice. I've been teaching cello to children, teenagers and adults for 10 years, so I've acquired the necessary experience to be able to adapt to the different and personal needs and objectives of each student. My teaching methodology focuses on creating a friendly and relaxed environment (which does not mean undemanding!) in which students feel confident to express their own ideas and worries. In my lessons I focus on technical and postural questions, but we also reflect together on the music, as I like my students to develop their own musical ideas and not just imitate the teacher. Contact me now to schedule your first lesson and take the first step toward your musical aspirations! :)

    Music Theory Lessons for beginners. Come as a beginner, intermediate or an expert.
    As a music theory teacher, I work with students of all ages, guiding them through the fundamental concepts of music, from reading sheet music to understanding rhythm, harmony, and melody. My approach is tailored to each individual's learning style, ensuring that lessons are engaging and accessible. Whether teaching beginners or more advanced students, I aim to foster a deeper appreciation for music while building strong theoretical foundations that support their musical growth and creativity.

    Gregorian Chant: Reading the tetragram with the voice
    In this course I teach you to become familiar with the scores of the Gregorian Chant and its Vatican notation, which works in tetragram instead of staff, and does not have the conventional rhythmic figures. We will learn the Gregorian symbols and ways, while also awakening the voice and gaining notions of Latin, history and liturgy.

    Cello and music classes - in classical or modern style (for all levels)
    Together we can develop your skill as a cello player, building a strong technical and musical foundation. We will find a learning style that best suits you. We can study the cello repertoire and traditional techniques and we can also explore the cello in less traditional ways - improvising, writing music, using electronics and combining it with other instruments.
