Personalised Guitar Lessons at Your Own Pace · Guildhall & mdw Mag. Concert Guitarist

Von 54.45 Fr /Std

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

Über mich

My biography:

Joan Furió has performed as a soloist across Europe and the United States, in prestigious venues such as the Milton Court Concert Hall, the Eduard Toldrà Auditorium at the Conservatori Municipal de Música de Barcelona, Casa Luthier, St. James’s Piccadilly, Valencia’s Oceanogràfic, and The Bitter End in New York City. His performances have been featured in festivals and concert series including the Festival de Música Religiosa de Vic, Festival de Música de Rialp, Dijous Concert (CMMB), Barnes Music Festival, Ely Arts Festival, Strings @ Eight (GSMD), as well as for the British Spanish Society.

Passionate about collaborating with other musicians, Joan frequently performs in chamber music formations. He has formed successful duets with violin, voice, guitar, and harp, recorded the album Acordándonos with mezzo-soprano Sofia Llovet, and has been actively performing with soprano Maud Niklas in the UK, Spain, and Switzerland.
Recent highlights include his debut with orchestra, playing the Malcolm Arnold Guitar Concerto with the Silk Street Sinfonietta conducted by Antoine Veillerette in London. He will perform it again with the English Chamber Orchestra at the English Music Festival in 2026.

Joan is currently a Junior Fellow at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and a postgraduate student at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien (mdw) in Vienna, under Professor Alvaro Pierri.
He holds a Master of Performance with Distinction and a First Class Bachelor of Music with Honours from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where he was a scholar studying under professors Robert Brightmore, Sean Shibe, Sasha Savaloni, and Toby Carr. He has received important guidance from Alvaro Pierri and has participated in lessons with many leading guitarists, including Leo Brouwer, Roland Dyens, David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, Carles Trepat, Margarita Escarpa, and Sergio Assad. His studies have been generously supported by GSMD, Help Musicians UK, the Spanish Society of Performers, Pedro Pons, and Eurostrings.

He won the chamber and solo honorific prizes at Barcelona’s Conservatoire CMMB, where he studied with Joan Furió Navarro.

Committed to the promotion of music in society, Joan is the organiser and artistic director of the international Villa Margarita Music Fest in Spain since 2021, now supported by a broad range of public and private partners.

"A recital with Joan Furió is always a celebration, he was born to perform. His naturally magnetic stage presence, creative spirit and impressive command of the instrument delivers interpretations that captivate and touch the heart. He deserves to be heard.” - Dr Evan Rothstein - Guildhall School of Music & Drama - Chairman (2009-2016) European Chamber Music Teachers Association

“A talented and highly committed young musician, Joan offers outstanding performances embodying sensitivity and panache, a fine young player who I’m sure will enjoy a successful professional career.” Robert Brightmore (Guitarist) Head of Guitar Studies, GSMD

“Excellent sense of style and projection” Jacqueline Ross, GSMD

I have been teaching for more than 15 years, first in my hometown Buenos Aires (Argentina) and since 2019 in Austria (Graz and Vienna).
Classes are 100% personalized, following the student's wishes/requirements but also my experience to determine what we should achieve.
Some of the topics may include:
- Accompaniment of songs.
- Playing solos (Rock/Pop)
- Jazz and improvisation
- Classical music
- Harmony, counterpoint, and music theory. Composition.
I have a pre-meeting with the student, where we get to know each other, talk about music and other interests, and then create a personalized study plan for the first classes.

Music Theory & Ear Training | Songwriting, Arrangement & (Home) Recording |
Individual or duo lessons with group discount | Band coaching for popular music | Music University Theory Exam Preparation |

On the bass, you accomplish heroic things in the background: Since the human ear organizes music from low to high, ... the bass determines how chords are heard. He is also the link between rhythm and harmonies in the ensemble. From this great power comes great responsibility!

With me you will learn to deal with this responsibility. We play your favorite music and expand your musical horizons by promoting your expression, hearing and creativity. In addition, we work on your technique, rhythm, coordination, imagination and your musical knowledge, so that you can develop your musical skills more and more independently and more freely (with or without notes) step by step.

I also teach electric guitar, piano and ukulele for beginners in a public music school. I am happy to pass on my experiences there in private lessons. I will put together an individual practice program for you and teach you your favorite songs.

Guitar Classes (classical with nylon strings ; acoustic with steel strings ; and/or electric) in Vienna or online in various languages (ENG/GER/FRA/ESP)

Pedagogue with more than 10 years of experience in scholar and extracurricular contexts is offering his expertise as a guitar teacher for new interested students of all ages. Classes are held in person in Vienna's 3rd district, and can be of course prolonged into the school year.

My class is based on various but well structured classical methods, however Pop and modern music remains an important aspect of the learning process, so the various wishes and aspects of guitar playing can be achieved by beginners and advanced students. A vast well catered repertoire and personalized arrangements will be provided for each student individually.

Many groups projects with guitars as well as other music instruments were very successfully realized over the years, and many of my students have also succeeded in competitions and important (solo) performances.
Prep classes for competitions as well as entrance exams at music institutions are also very possible!

Every year there are two student concerts in a beautiful concert hall in the 3rd district (December and June)

Guitar lessons (classical, flamenco, pop, rock, jazz) in Vienna, online or at your home (in Vienna) in various languages (English, German and Slovenian).

Regardless of age, after your first lesson, you will have a good overview of techniques and principles used in guitar playing, suitable for any style. The program of learning I use is divided between acquiring solid technique, applicable knowledge of music theory, and working on pieces tailored to one’s wishes and level of playing. My classes are suitable also as group lessons (more than one student at once, with a price reduction).
I have dedicated most of my life to guitar and studied with some of the best (primarily classical-oriented) guitarists in the world, so my lessons are more than suitable also for very advanced players.

Whether you want to become a pro, take your first steps in guitar playing or are looking for an excellent teacher for your child, the difference is only in the pedagogical approach, because the most important thing is a solid foundation.

And that's exactly why you should consider me as your guitar teacher.
I have been playing guitar for 15 years and due to my rich education I have reached international concert stages.
I've been passing on the know-how I've learned from some of the world's leading guitarists to my own students for years, regardless of age, ambition and musical style.

And that's how it works:
- we ensure that basic technical skills and basic musical knowledge are strengthened to avoid unnecessary frustration in the future
- we create a consistent exercise plan, compatible with the student's daily activities, always with the idea of achieving the student's goal in the shortest possible time

My own goal is to reach a level where a student is able to become his own teacher. They set their own goals, organize their development and learn how to achieve them.

Learn the guitar in a relaxed and fun environment! I aim to make every lesson an adventure, with the focus being on enjoyment and exploration, rather than urgency. Music is about personal expression and connection, and that is exactly what these lessons will be about.

If you want to practice English, I am happy to run classes in my native language, but can also teach in German if preferred.

One of the best parts of music is learning to write your own! I can work with you to write and compose a song of your own. There's nothing quite like creating your own songs, and I can guide you along this journey, give you the tools to get started, or help you fine-tune one already in the works.

Do you want to learn how to play various styles while having fun? Or you just feel stagnated and you dont progress anymore?
Then you should try out my classes: I dont specialize in any specific style, but I grew to learn at least the basic tricks of the main styles (flamenco, blues, acoustic folk, electric pop, a bit of jazz)
It would truly be a pleasure to me to show you the keys about becoming a better guitar player, the details that make the difference. I can of course also show you how to play specific songs that you like, and how to slowly figure songs and melodies out by ear. If necessary I will correct your technique and show you how to maintain your guitar.

Ill be looking forward to you!
