Classical and modern cello classes in Barcelona

(Important! The schedules are now closing with the students I already have, so it is difficult to specify a definitive schedule for September)

Hello! I have been teaching classes continuously for more than 10 years and I would like to explain what you can find in a class with me!

- To begin with, the most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I would like to focus the classes according to what you need. For example, we will not put the same level of demand if you want to play for pleasure at home without haste or if you want to do some entrance exams to musical studies (although always with the same good rigor). The needs of each student can vary the methodology, the way of organizing the study sessions, the postural work, the repertoire...
- Once we know what we want to achieve and by when, classes will begin in a relaxed atmosphere. Important! Relaxed is not equal to undemanding or rigorous, just that we will try not to resort to military methods, especially given my character and sense of humor ;).
- Something important to note is that my methods are very dynamic and with special emphasis on the development of the ear and musicality. No reading, spitting and changing songs. I try to avoid methods that focus too much on the continuous reading of scores without memorizing, listening or understanding what is being done and why, especially so that later you can make your own aesthetic decisions and feel ownership of your performance. Alert! Maybe I'll even make you sing.
- Last but not least, it should be noted that given my training (I studied classical music and modern music and jazz at the Taller de Músics) my tendency will be to give the same importance to different types of music. We will adapt to your tastes and needs, but for me we can go from baroque to blues, from blues to Haydn's sonatas, from Haydn to bebop and from bebop to Michael Jackson. Why not?

If you like what you have read, do not hesitate to contact me. Learning to play the cello is a pleasure and I would love to share it with you!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.

Hello! My name is Andrea and I am a composer (jazz and modern music), cellist and teacher. No idea in what order.

Learning music can be as fun as it is transformative. Transformer? Because? Study, practice and play* are ways that can be worked from the inside out, thus affecting other areas of our life.

I have been teaching uninterruptedly for more than 10 years. Most of my practice has been in private classes, but also in some schools. From time to time I try to bring together several students with similar tastes to play together, both adults and children, and I try to turn the classes into something more than merely musical learning. I like to transmit music as a lifestyle and support the material and classes with auditions, recommendations for concerts, etc.

My methods are dynamic and with a greater tendency to develop ear and musicality. I avoid methods that focus learning through continuous reading of scores since, in the end, the paper is not what it sounds like. We will try to work, in addition to reading, also memorizing, listening, improvising and analyzing to understand what is being done and why (all always adapted to the demands or needs of each student! We will not work the same way with someone who prepares for entrance tests than with someone who only wants to play for pleasure).

If you have any questions, queries or curiosity, do not hesitate and contact me without obligation! Maybe she can be your next teacher, or maybe she can help you know what to look for to find the teacher you need :)

*(how wonderful those languages whose way of saying "play an instrument" is done through the verb play; play the cello, jouez du violoncel...)

Translated by Google. Click to view original.

I play in modern jazz and modern music ensembles (large ensembles and small ensembles, accompaniment and recordings of pop singers) and in folk and traditional music (mainly tango and Caribbean music).
I have also been an arranger for local television and a composer for small groups.
I have more than 10 years of uninterrupted experience as a teacher. The last few years I have also dedicated to preparing people who want to access a professional degree, higher studies in Jazz and modern music or university degrees related to music (in theoretical and auditory matters).

Let's talk about music! Musical language, harmony, composition, various analyses, music in its sociocultural context or commented readings

(Important! The schedules are now closing with the students I already have, so it is difficult to specify a definitive schedule for September) Hello! I have been teaching uninterruptedly for more than 10 years and I would like to explain to you what you can find in a class with me: - To begin, the most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I would like to focus the classes according to what you need or want, from learning for pure pleasure from scratch to preparing for entrance tests or focusing professionally. The needs of each student may vary the methodology, the way of organizing the study sessions, etc. - Once we know what we want to achieve and by when, classes will begin in a relaxed atmosphere. Important! Relaxed does not equal lax! only that we will try to resort to dynamic and as practical methods as possible, especially given my character and sense of humor ;). - Something important to highlight is that I always place special emphasis on the development of hearing, musicality and the analysis of your references. Above all so that you can then make your own aesthetic decisions and feel like owner of your music. - Last but not least, my tendency will be to give equal importance to different music. We will adapt to your tastes and needs, but here there is no room to say which music is better or worse. Each one will help us work on different aspects of the music and, if we don't know something, we will analyze it side by side until we unravel all its mysteries. The only thing I will do is work on themes and styles that can help us in each section of musical development (melody, harmony, rhythm, orchestration, production, lyrics, semiotics, etc.) If you like what you've read, don't hesitate to contact me. Learning music is a pleasure and I would love to share it with you! IMPORTANT!!! Due to the volume of concerts and other assignments I have, I will need to agree on a little flexibility. You will always be my priority and there will only be changes if I really can't find an alternative. I appreciate the understanding.
