    Violin: technical skills, musical phrasing and presentation

    My tutoring focuses on the art of violin playing, additionally to the way an advanced student or young musician has learned in a conservatory. Musical insights from different perspectives are shown to increase the quality of sound, the versatility of articulation and phrasing and last, but not least, to get prepared artistically and mentally for auditions, competitions and performances on the highest level.
    Many tricks and advice will be given to overcome obstacles in performing, as well as many inspiring insights in issues like breathing, posture and musical flow.

    MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
    I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen. I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist. I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.
