    FREQUENT QUESTIONS

    Do I need my own instrument?

    Yes! It will be your companion on this journey. If you're just starting out, I suggest you rent it and eventually buy it.
    I can help you check the equipment and advise you in everything I can.

    What if I am a beginner?

    Absolutely nothing, any musician who wants to learn is welcome in my class.

    Keep in mind that if you have no notions of musical language, you must receive simultaneous classes to have basic notions.

    You can't make music without knowing its language.


    How often can we teach?

    It depends on your circumstances, maturity and your schedule. I always try to adapt to the needs of my students, combining it with my concert schedule. For the little ones, I recommend shorter classes. If, for example, you work, classes every two weeks are a good option.


    Where are the classes held?

    , I teach classes only in my studio, since here I have all the scores, instruments, gadgets and facilities that I use to teach.

    If you live far away, the online model works great, in fact, that's how all my students have passed the tests this year.

    Both can also be combined effectively.

    What are we going to work on in class?

    What you want and need, depending on your goals eg. an entrance test, we will approach music as a science. That is to say from mathematics, acoustics, physics, neurology and anatomy of the human body.

    We will work on the technique, methodology, research, historical analysis and similar procedures.

    In class we will also practice the values of effort, perseverance, hard work or respect, in a relaxed way but without stopping working.


    How will I achieve my goals?

    Through supervision, honesty, and my total dedication, I love this job, and my students' successes are my own, as are their failures.


    How much do I have to study?

    The important thing is to be constant, depending on age and level. If the study is efficient, between 45min and 1h a day.
    In addition, I will teach you study and memorization techniques so that you can progress quickly. It is important that you get a metronome.


    What material did you bring to class?

    Don't forget to bring your instrument and bow, Strap, rosin, correctors, sheet music, a notebook of staves and a normal notebook to jot down ideas and exercises.


    What kind of teacher am I going to find?

    Methodical. Consistent, empirical disciplined, flexible, relaxed, but above all, honest and empathic.
