Hi!
I’m a professional bass clarinetist offering personalized bass clarinet lessons focused on classical technique, musical expression, and mental training. My goal is to help you feel confident, focused, and inspired every time you play — whether you’re preparing for an audition, developing your sound, or learning how to play this wonderful instrument.

I hold Master’s degrees with high distinction from conservatories in Belgium and the Netherlands, and have taken masterclasses with world-class bass clarinetists such as Davide Lattuada, Ricardo Matarredona, Renaud Guy-Rousseau and Carlos Alexis Escalona among others.
As a clarinetist that specializes in the bass clarinet I’ve collaborated with major orchestras such as La Monnaie / De Munt, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, Brussels Philharmonic, and the Orquesta Filarmonía de Granada, among others.

My lessons combine a strong classical foundation with effective study techniques and mental preparation tools inspired by performance psychology and mindfulness. I help students learn how to practice efficiently, overcome stage anxiety, and connect technique with expression.
Although lessons are personalized to each student's needs, we will focus on:
-Tone production, articulation, breathing, and phrasing;
-Effective study methods and practice routines;
-Interpretation of classical or light music repertoire;
-Stage presence and mindset during performances;
-Mental preparation strategies to reduce anxiety and improve concentration.

I prepare students for:
Conservatory entrance exams
Orchestral and chamber music auditions
Recitals and competitions
Personal artistic development and performance preparation


I have experience teaching students of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced players and professionals. I’m a patient, supportive, and motivated teacher, and I truly enjoy guiding each student to reach their full potential while enjoying the process.

About Me
Spanish clarinetist with an advanced education.
Patient teacher with a lot of motivation and a strong desire to help people enjoy this wonderful instrument. I offer lessons in my native language (Spanish) and English. I also have a B1 certificate in Dutch, so lessons in this language would also be possible (it is also useful for me to practice and learn together).
Flexible schedules depending on the availability of both sides.
