ABOUT OLIVIA
She is a freelance woodwind musician and teacher, after initial training as a classical oboist in Croatia, she completed her education at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow. She has extensive music teaching experience both privately and in schools with woodwinds teaching in 1-to-1b and group settings, as well as conducting bands, and choirs.
She plays and teaches oboe, cor anglais, flute, clarinet, bassoon, recorder, and saxophone, and has performed both as a soloist and with a variety of orchestras, chamber groups, and musical theatre bands in the UK and across Eastern and Central Europe, and has used improvisation to create short soundtracks for animations and documentaries.


TEACHING
Using tailored approaches to best meet the needs and ambitions of her students. Her teaching toolkit includes an accessible fun repertoire alongside more formal pieces, exercises to develop breathing techniques, enhance your technical ease and enhance sight-reading skills, and improvisation as a method to build self-confidence and creativity as a performer.
She is qualified to teach music in English and Croatian (as she is bilingual) and can teach all levels, including exam preparation.


YOUR FIRST LESSON
During your first lesson, you will first have a quick discussion about your musical background, choice of instrument, and your musical goals.
If you are a beginner, you will then learn how to set up and care for your instrument, mouthpiece, and reed. Then make sounds on your mouthpiece/reed and work on tounging, breathing, posture, and rhythm using your mouthpiece/reed, and play with the full instrument.
If you already have knowledge of the instrument you will work on various techniques and exercises using sight reading, memory, improvisation, and a piece you have brought with you or she will provide for you if you have nothing prepared.
You will leave your lesson with a clear understanding of your instrument and practice goals for your musical ambitions and aspirations.

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with Olivia.

Raúl
Professional saxophonist eager to teach and work to bring out the best version of yourself!

The lessons are intended for all levels, children or adults.
We follow a working method where you will continuously and deeply develop your musicality, way of playing, expressiveness and technique.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

Raúl is a Spanish saxophonist who finished his DIDACTIC MASTER in 2018 at the École Supérieure des Arts in Mons. Previously, he also completed a MASTER OF INTERPRETATION at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (2015-2017) in the class of Alain Crepin and Simon Diricq.
He studied at the "Musikene" (Higher Conservatory of Music of the Basque Country) with Eric Devallon, Tomás Jérez, Antonio Felipe Belijar and Miguel Ángel Lorente.

Passionate about multidisciplinary artistic creation, he thinks of the mixing of all the arts in the same show as an aesthetic goal. This type of research could be observed in his project for his final master's recital in Brussels where he created a project based on Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of human needs where he mixed live, recorded music, dance, light shows and effects under the name: “according to Maslow... ”

In terms of his career as a concert artist, he has played in different ensembles (solo performances, duo, trio, quartet, orchestra...) and different countries such as Japan (Artisanal Musical Fair "Suono Italia" 2010), Belgium (Festival Musiq3 2016), Artonov Festival at BOZAR in 2016...), France (Dax chamber music festival 2011) or Spain (Music Festival “Quincena Musical” 2015, Aste Nagusia 2015, Heineken Jazzaldia 2014, Festival Kutxa 2015, Intercentros Melómano 2010).
