    FREQUENT QUESTIONS

    Do I need my own instrument?

    Yes! It will be your companion on this journey. If you're just starting out, I suggest you rent it and eventually buy it.
    I can help you check the equipment and advise you in everything I can.

    What if I am a beginner?

    Absolutely nothing, any musician who wants to learn is welcome in my class.

    Keep in mind that if you have no notions of musical language, you must receive simultaneous classes to have basic notions.

    You can't make music without knowing its language.


    How often can we teach?

    It depends on your circumstances, maturity and your schedule. I always try to adapt to the needs of my students, combining it with my concert schedule. For the little ones, I recommend shorter classes. If, for example, you work, classes every two weeks are a good option.


    Where are the classes held?

    , I teach classes only in my studio, since here I have all the scores, instruments, gadgets and facilities that I use to teach.

    If you live far away, the online model works great, in fact, that's how all my students have passed the tests this year.

    Both can also be combined effectively.

    What are we going to work on in class?

    What you want and need, depending on your goals eg. an entrance test, we will approach music as a science. That is to say from mathematics, acoustics, physics, neurology and anatomy of the human body.

    We will work on the technique, methodology, research, historical analysis and similar procedures.

    In class we will also practice the values of effort, perseverance, hard work or respect, in a relaxed way but without stopping working.


    How will I achieve my goals?

    Through supervision, honesty, and my total dedication, I love this job, and my students' successes are my own, as are their failures.


    How much do I have to study?

    The important thing is to be constant, depending on age and level. If the study is efficient, between 45min and 1h a day.
    In addition, I will teach you study and memorization techniques so that you can progress quickly. It is important that you get a metronome.


    What material did you bring to class?

    Don't forget to bring your instrument and bow, Strap, rosin, correctors, sheet music, a notebook of staves and a normal notebook to jot down ideas and exercises.


    What kind of teacher am I going to find?

    Methodical. Consistent, empirical disciplined, flexible, relaxed, but above all, honest and empathic.

    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!

    Cello in a nutshell: Cello lessons for everyone in Mainz and online
    Music is very interesting both as a profession and as a hobby, but in the beginning we all have difficulties when it comes to playing an instrument. But with a little guidance and a bit of patience you can get the desired results... it's proven :) My name is Paula, I love teaching and working with enthusiastic people, because as I said, teaching others is actually teaching yourself ;). My bachelor's degree at the Conservatory of Ghent (Belgium) taught me what music interpretation is. At the Peter Cornelis Conservatory I learned the important basics of cello and music teaching. In recent years I have gained a lot of experience teaching cello in individual and group lessons as well as in string class lessons. The way of teaching will suit the level of the student (for beginners I divide the lessons into two parts: half basic music theory and the other half cello), and I will always have my cello with me to illustrate. If you are interested in playing this beautiful instrument, do not hesitate to write to me. Music is a beautiful game.

    Online Classes of Piano, Keyboards and Musical Language
    The Tecla y Música Workshop is a space designed to learn and develop your musical and expressive sense through the piano and / or keyboards. The main objective is to learn to make music and enjoy the learning process and its results. The material with which we work (songs, instrumental pieces and exercises) is mainly oriented to your musical taste, and the choice is based on gradually expanding your technical and expressive possibilities, while exploring different musical styles. In this way, different tools are being incorporated to achieve, in a short term, mastery and fluency over the musical language and the instrument. Given that each student has different interests and concerns, whether playing as a hobby or developing a professional career, composing, improvising, etc., the orientation of the classes is built according to the possibilities and particular needs of each case. The work proposal implies a weekly class frequency to achieve optimal work dynamics and that the results are visible in a short term. There is also the possibility of taking isolated classes in order to solve a specific objective such as developing and perfecting some particular aspect of music practice and / or theory as well as preparing instrument exams or theoretical subjects for institutions of musical studies.
