Las clases pueden ser en español, inglés, holandés o griego. En todas las clases está presente el lenguaje y la teoría musical, pero de una forma orgánica e inmersa en la práctica. ¡No dudes en contactarme si te interesa! :) EN Enjoying learning music is the most important thing for me.

    It is never too late to enjoy music. There are thousands of ways in which a person can enter this wonderful world, either through a more practical approach, playing a musical instrument; or with a more theoretical approach, learning harmony, analysis and composition.

To do this, we will work on vocal technique, body expression and connection with the audience, and the preparation of repertoire, according to the needs and tastes of the students. It is advisable to take the classes individually, but they are also offered in groups of up to 5 people. In the individual modality, a song will be recorded, when the students feel ready, that demonstrates and practices what was taught during the course.

    Dana
    Beginners and intermediate level of music, piano, composition and improvisation
    To learn an instrument from scratch you must know the basics of music (musical notes, scales, treble clef, bass clef...etc). If you already have this knowledge, great. If you don't, great too, I'm here to teach you. After knowing this basics, we will be ready to use the keyboard without being so lost, knowing what we are playing. In this way, the student can learn to improvise, to create meaningful melodies, and to make mistakes as well. In music, anything goes. The course also adapts to the student's requests. If you prefer to learn songs that you like, we can do so, but be careful: first you have to know the basics of the piano, so that it won't be difficult for you to learn your favorite song. Above all, what matters in this course is that music is learned in a different way than the conventional one, and that we leave class with a smile, knowing that we will see each other again, to learn more useful things.

To play piano we need more than our fingers, you will learn to feel your body, the relaxation that passes through it and the necessary movements you must make to be able to properly play the piano. You will also learn a lot about each era, starting from the Baroque to today. You will be able to see how each era is unique and the way of seeing and feeling music in each of them. You will learn many ways to study, so that you can continue at home alone with the certainty of doing well. We will learn together, because I am convinced that teaching is a way of learning too.
