I enjoy adapting each lesson to the individual student and creating a friendly and motivating atmosphere. Learning music can be demanding, but I believe it should also feel inspiring and human. In my lessons, I aim to help students gain confidence, enjoy playing, and build a healthy relationship with the instrument.

I work with children, adults, beginners, and more advanced students, including audition preparation, technique, musicality, and repertoire.

Lessons can be held in Spanish, Catalan, English, or German.

My name is Pia. I am a singer, songwriter, actress and voice teacher. I teach singing classes and vocal techniques to speak better in public.

Our voice is a complex instrument that is directly connected to the state of the body and mind, and therefore many different aspects are touched on in vocal work.
But that does not mean that it has to be difficult to educate your voice in different ways!
As in all types of educational process, as long as there is desire and patience, the objectives can be achieved. We will develop the classes according to the particular needs of each student.

We will work on the following aspects in voice training:
- breathing
- relaxation
- body awareness
- warming of the body and mouth
- vocalization
- projection
- tuning
- tessitura extension
- rhythmic perception
- diction in several languages (especially in English, Spanish, German and Scandinavian languages)
- interpretation

More about me:
I am Danish, living in Barcelona since 2001. I studied theater acting at the Victor Hernando Studio Theater and modern music and jazz with singing as a specialty at the Liceo Conservatory. I have a long professional career in the world of music and theater. Since 2008, I combine my artistic career with the profession of voice teacher and as a vocal supervisor in stage work.

Great to meet you all! My name is Tomas and I'm a passionate violin teacher with more than 20 years of teaching experience. I have a strong academic background in music and education. Here are some of the degrees I have obtained:

- Master Degree in Music Research from the Valencian International University

- Major in Violin Performance from the Conservatory of the Liceu Theater in Barcelona

- Teaching degree from the Barcelona Music School

- Professional degree from the Music School of Buenos Aires

Apart from teaching, I also run the world's largest Spanish-language violin blog called MyViolinBlog where I share my teaching and playing experiences. I'm also privileged to work as a conductor for the AMA Orchestra in Barcelona, where my students and I focus on musical group experience and technique.

I have teaching experience in different schools across Argentina, Spain, Poland, and Romania, I've developed a unique teaching approach that tailors each lesson to the student's goals, keeping them motivated and on track. I can also assist with preparation for school admissions exams such as ABRSM, Trinity College, and more.

As the head teacher at Esclat Barcelona Music School and Viaró Global School, I'm currently conducting research in the biomechanics of violin playing, and I'm set to publish four books on this subject this year!

Each class with me is customized to meet the student's needs, covering musical, theoretical, and postural concepts to ensure optimal comfort while playing. I love to explain complex concepts in simple terms and inspire my students to continue learning and exploring their musical abilities.

If you're interested in booking a trial lesson with me, let's discuss your goals and how I can help you to reach them!

Singing and vocal technique class focused on vocal re-education and the health and hygiene of the instrument.

Through corporality and emotion we will immerse ourselves in the interpretation of the songs.

The goal is to find our own voice, recognize it and enjoy it.

Would you like to play that song you've always loved? Do you have a trumpet at home and want to start playing it? Do you already play, but feel like there are some pieces you still can't quite master?

Whatever your goal, we can work together to achieve it. From learning your first notes to playing jazz standards, film scores, popular music, or classical repertoire. I can also help you prepare for conservatory entrance exams, get started in jazz and improvisation, or refine your technical and performance skills.

My classes are completely personalized and tailored to each individual. We'll work on the technical skills you need to improve your playing, but always through music that inspires you. Because learning an instrument should be a stimulating challenge and a source of enjoyment.

Imagine being able to play along with play-alongs at home, share music with friends, or even surprise someone special by performing a song that has important meaning for you.

Tell me what you'd like to achieve, and together we'll design a path to get there. I'll also share study materials, exercises, and repertoire tailored to your interests and skill level.

Write to me with no obligation. Even if you're not yet sure what your goal is, I'd be happy to guide you and help you discover the next step on your trumpet journey.

My goal is to guide you every step of your musical journey, helping you develop your skills and enjoy the learning process.

Graduated in Music, with experience in both the classical repertoire (Baroque, Classicism, Romanticism) and modern and popular music styles (Jazz, pop, rock), I offer my services to give piano and keyboard lessons, for all ages, children and adults from initiation to the instrument to intermediate/advanced. The classes are oriented so that students can play from the first day. And in this way they enjoy the learning process, complemented with other subjects such as musical language, harmony and improvisation.

The teaching method is based on maintaining both the motivation and the quality of the violinist's level. Therefore, a wide repertoire is included to address different needs, allowing students to choose concerts or works to practice at their leisure and as part of their progress as an instrumentalist. The etudes are continued as the songs in the repertoire are added. For technical exercises, several etude books are used, including: - Cecilio (for level 0) - The Suzuki Method (as a guiding thread from beginner to advanced) - Kayser Etudes (for the transition to intermediate) - Kreutzer Etudes (for the transition to advanced)

Guitar lessons with a dynamic, practice-focused method for a more natural assimilation of the material, based on the student's musical tastes and goals. Learning repertoire while balancing music theory and practice makes lessons more dynamic and enjoyable, which helps in seeing results.

Professor with extensive teaching experience and as a performer in various countries and styles encompassing modern music, from jazz to rock, pop, blues, etc.

My approach to teaching is simple: build strong fundamentals while keeping lessons engaging and motivating. Especially for beginners, it’s important that learning the violin feels enjoyable—not frustrating.

I adapt every lesson to the student’s level, age, and goals, but I usually follow a clear structure:

• Warm-up (bow control, posture, sound)
• Technique (scales, finger placement, coordination)
• Repertoire (songs and pieces adapted to the level)
• Fun element (games, simple improvisation, or familiar melodies)
• Wrap-up with clear practice goals

I mainly work with beginners and early intermediate students, especially children and teenagers, but I also welcome adults who want to start from scratch. No prior experience is needed.

My strengths as a teacher are patience, clarity, and the ability to keep students motivated in the early stages—when many people usually give up. I focus on helping students enjoy the process while still making consistent progress week after week.

Lessons are available at your home in Barcelona (Pedralbes, Sarrià, Les Corts, Poblenou), and I teach in English, Spanish, or French.

The classes begin with a level assessment to determine your starting point (whether you're a beginner or experienced). It's about evaluating your needs, not simply following a set pattern. Understanding the student is crucial to providing the most tailored guidance and the best possible experience.
Obviously you'll learn to play and read music. But you can learn that at any school; all teachers teach it, it's fundamental. The question is how it's taught and whether the student leaves the class with a smile or not... and with the concept understood.
Music requires discipline and consistency, so it's important to attend and practice even when you don't feel like it. But even on off days, I've managed to teach without hitting a single note, because playing the drums isn't just about hitting them (even though it is fun).
I offer a different, educational, and practical approach. Focused on what you want to achieve and on achieving it without frustration. Whether you want it as a hobby or to become a pro.
I love connecting with my students and getting them to see the drums with the same passion as I do.
If you're interested, I can give you more information and content.
