Professional Piano and Musical Composition classes
Piano and Composition Teacher in Berlin-Mitte
I was born in 1988 in Camagüey, Cuba. At the age of nine I received my first piano lessons in my hometown. At the age of fourteen I began Oboe studies at the Jose White Provincial Conservatory of Music in Camaguey. In 2009 I began my higher studies in the intensive education of Oboe and Composition at the University of the Arts of Cuba, ISA in Havana, Cuba. He collaborated during those years with several artists, participating in several Havana Biennials. This allowed me to meet and participate in workshops with Gabriel Orozco, Hemann Nitsch, Marina Abramovic, Antoni Muntadas among others. In 2016 I created my project HavanaModerno, a platform for interdisciplinary arts. There I was able to collaborate with top-level artists such as Carolina Eyck (Theremin), Thorwald Jorguensen, Ernesto Mendoza, Lera Auerbach, Delta Piano Trio, Rascher Saxophone Quartet, among others.
During my studies, I started working in the theater as a Sound Designer and Voice and Singing teacher. Also, for several years I taught Musical Analysis and Harmony at the National School of Music (ENA). During my years of study and training I was able to create and develop various projects, as a curator and producer, some of them in collaboration with the National Electroacoustic Music Laboratory in Havana, Cuba (LNME). One of them was the Primavera Festival in Havana, where you can exchange with composers such as German Toro-Perez, Carlos Hidalgo, Annette Vande Gorne Annette Vande Gorne and Marie-Jeanne Wyckmans,
Neil Leonard, Clemens von Reusner, Kristi Allik among others.
I completed my Composition studies with Prof. Juan Pinera, who gave me extensive knowledge about the world of musical creation. In May 2016 I concluded my studies with a Bachelor of Music, in Composition. After graduating, I continued working in theater and music as a composition teacher and a Sound Workshop for visual artists as well as a curator and producer of the HavanaModerno project until 2021. I currently live and develop my career in Berlin.
How I teach:
My own training was interdisciplinary. This helped me to see art as a connected entity between its different expressions and not separate. This allowed me to have a broader image in terms of time, style, history, aesthetics, philosophy and thought. For this reason, I use a similar approach in my classes, where technical work in parallel with technical skill development is equally important. Without information and culture there can be no creation. Anyone who has something to say can be a composer, but for this he needs several creative and technical tools that allow him to open up his sound world and put it on paper. To provide the student with these tools, scores will be analyzed, concerts are observed and discussed, films, auditions, texts, etc. are analyzed. Also, we work on the basis of musical analysis and orchestration to support the student with technical information on writing and musical colors. The work at the piano develops in the same way. For composition or piano, it is important to know the student's interests in order to support him on that path of finding his own language and sound worlds. The teacher, here can only accompany and offer information and experience.
