Présentation
I'm a Spanish international concert pianist ,I gained expertise as a pedagogue in tertiary institutions, acting as a mentor, role model and sometimes inspiration for those aspiring to both solo and ensemble careers, but also to wider the horizons of those just wishing to learn more about pianism as an enrichment to their knowledge of music.

In lessons, my penchant for fine detail and nuance may lead to in-depth discussions and demonstrations of such matters as flexibility and shaping of phrasing, precision of rhythm and articulation, expansion of dynamic and coloristic range, a refined and sophisticated pedal technique or exploring a range of alternative and unorthodox fingerings.

At the same time, I endeavour to engage my student’s curiosity and intelligence by integrating the discussion of pianistic issues with underlying compositional issues, such as voice-leading, counterpoint, harmonic outlines and motivic development.

Once technical issues are solved and pose no impediment to fluency and the flight of a student’s musical imagination, I welcome the opportunity to delve into the deeper – intellectual, emotional, and spiritual – dimensions of music during the learning process.

I offer:

- Preparation for auditions
- Preparation for graduation exams (Bachelor/Master)
- Preparation for national/international competitions - all categories
- Consultations for young piano teachers

“Please keep your style: I really love it!” (Lang Lang, after I played Liszt’s Wild Hunt for him)

Diplomas (from the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot):
- Higher Concert Diploma (Diplôme Supérieur de Concertiste)
- Pedagogy certificate (Certificat de Pédagogie)
- Higher teaching diploma (Diplôme Supérieur d'Enseignement)

For several years I have been giving piano lessons to children and adults, beginners (who have never played the piano) and advanced students (who want to study professionally).

It is about learning a piece effectively and quickly, acquiring good technique, and understanding the theory.

I value your goals and expectations, and I enjoy teaching!

Prices (in 2024):
- 3rd Prize in the international competition Pianissima international (Category: Prestissimo; Jury President: Cyprien Katsaris)
- 3rd prize in the international competition Opus Artis
- 2nd Prize in the Léopold Bellan Competition, special award for Rachmaninoff

I've given several concerts in France, Belgium, and Greece. I've also performed on French television (France 5).

I had the opportunity to audition for Lang Lang in a masterclass at the Salle Cortot in Paris; Lang Lang praised my performance of Liszt's Wild Hunt: "Please keep your style: I really love it!"

I studied at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot with Michael Wladkowski and Guigla Katsarava. I studied harmony and counterpoint with the composer Stéphane Delplace. Starting in September 2025, I will be studying with Zlata Chochieva at the Bern University of the Arts.
I'm happy to answer any questions!
