I am a Spanish music teacher specialized in Pedagogy of Music. I teach piano to young children from four years old using the Suzuki Method. For older students, I use the Kodály method to teach Theory of Music, if they show an interest in understanding music and in building their music skills. I teach in English, Spanish or French depending on the student's preference.

Traditional approach and Piano Jazz repertoire are also available for older kids and adults. My teaching experience spans more than 20 years in 4 countries. Since I moved with my family to Switzerland, I have been a freelance music teacher at home. 

I hold Conservatory degrees in Composition and Music Education (Madrid Royal Conservatory),  a Maitrise and a DEA in Music Analysis (Université Paris VIII Vincennes - Saint-Denis) and I am a certified Kodàly teacher (New York University).

Pedagogy of Music was greatly developed in the second half of the 20th century. New methods to learn music have made it possible to effectively teach music to very young children. In particular, the Suzuki Method was developed to learn violin and then adapted to piano and other instruments. The Kodàly Method incorporates teaching techniques from other methods of Music Education. In both systems children are exposed to music concepts through experience, and only later they learn to write music.

I decided to become a Kodàly teacher because I believe that singing is the most natural and direct way to experience music. Besides, singing with people provides a unique kind of shared joy. The relevance and thought given to learning music should not be different than the importance of for example the math curriculum. It is paramount to have ambitious long term objectives.

 A good global education should provide all students with the ability to appreciate and perform music.  If I had to summarize my educational philosophy in a sentence, I would use Zoltán Kodàly’s words: 

                                         “Let music belong to everyone.”
