My lessons are usually in 1 hour; even 1 hour 30 depending on the relative intensity of each. I am demanding with my students but without pressure. I want to teach this discipline to make it a passionate way of life.

I am a student in a double music-studies course.

The viola, brother instrument of the violin and the cello offers a rich palette of colors and a warm sound that we will learn to develop together.
Instrumental practice is central, but we can also make some theoretical digressions (history of music, music theory, etc.) if necessary and according to the wishes of the student.
Start by learning healthy posture to produce full, controlled sounds. Learn the notes on the instrument while reading the score. Play in pizzicato then arco to feel the individuality of each hand. Work on both technique and musicality to be able to play pieces adapted to the level of the student and above all have fun in music!
If the student has suggestions for songs or special requests, I remain open to proposals!
