About Me

My name is Melani Fernandez, I’m 25 years old and I was born in Belgium but living in Spain, Mallorca. Starting at 7 years old, I went to the local music school and had the privilege to have private lessons from Sabine Grofmeier. She recommended me to go on studying music, so I decided to go for the medium grade of music in Palma, with Jordi Rumbau. In 2018 I went to Valencia and I studied with Emilio Ferrando finishing my bachelor's degree in 2022. Now I’m studying in the Music Academy of Valencia with Vicente Alberola. Until today, I’ve had the chance to do many classes with many teachers such as: Wenzel Fuchs, Chi Yu Mo, Arno Piters, Julien Hervè, Johannes Peitz, Jose Luis Estellés, etc. I played with different orchestras such as: the Philharmonic Orchestra of the University of Valencia, the Orchestrals Encounters of the Balearic Islands and the Chamber Orchestra of Mallorca. I’ve learned to play the bass clarinet and the Eb clarinet and I have both of them.

I would like to make a change in my life, go out of Spain and explore a new world, new people, new cultures and most of all, new styles of bringing music. I would like to achieve more than I know now because I have this skill to learn fast. In addition, as well, I have to admit that I need this master to present myself in the better symphonic orchestras which is my achievement in life. The fact is that I want to study outside of Spain because I think that music in my home country is less valued.

P.S: I’m better expressing myself with music than with words

Starting in September - VIOLIN LESSONS for beginners to advanced in Antwerp / VIOLIN LESSONS for beginners to advanced levels in Antwerp
After completing my Bachelor's degree in violin at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, I did a year of Erasmus at the Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf, in Germany. From September, I will start my Master at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Antwerpen. Discovering new ways of learning is very important to me. I like to seize opportunities and meet inspiring musicians during Masterclasses in Belgium and abroad. Perseverance and work, while respecting oneself, are for me the keys to long-term progress. Learning music with kindness is the most important thing for me. I adapt to the needs and desires of each student, so that the process is personalized and motivating. Being able to pass on my passion enriches me enormously and allows me to acquire new skills as a musician. I teach in French and English. I also have some German and I plan to learn Dutch this year.
