Hello! I am Joan, a professional classical guitarist newly based in Vienna. I am from Barcelona, obtained a First Class Bachelor's degree in Music and a Master's degree in Performance at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London, and I have now landed in Vienna, where I do a Postgraduate Certificate at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw) with Prof. Alvaro Pierri. I am also an active performer, with more than 30 concerts a year across Europe, the USA and the UK. Besides performing, I have been teaching for more than 10 years now. Last year as a Junior Fellow at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, but also privately, in music schools, conservatoires, primary and secondary schools and summer camps. Mainly 1 to 1 but very often ensembles, chamber music or orchestras. I have always considered guiding people into learning music a central part of my passion and profession, and always put special attention to Pedagogy. I was lucky to have lessons with some of the world's best professionals like A. Pierri, D. Russell, R. Dyens, M. Barrueco, L. Brouwer, A. Vidovic... I am now looking forward to connecting with new students here in Vienna or online! I always try to explore what is the best way for each particular student to develop, so our lessons could take many different approaches. I am happy to hear what you expect from the lessons, adapt to it, and at the same time offer my professional guidance. One of my principles is to be effective in all possible ways when playing. Above all, I will make sure you learn! Whether you are already playing masterpieces and are interested in new approaches, have been playing for some time, or still haven't started playing, I'd be glad to help you. Joan
