Teaching for him means being able to bring all students to their highest level of personal expression, according to their inclinations and talents. Every human being has a different way of approaching the study of music, which is why his teaching method is tailored to each pupil. Based on a flexible and multi-purpose approach, his method remains intuitive, effective and fun.

The study of the instrument will go hand by hand with the study of music theory, solfège and harmony. It will allow the students to learn faster comprehending at the same time the relationships between the different elements of the musical practise.

Improvisation will also be approached right away. This will enable pupils to develop their independence in improvising and creating music immediately, without becoming dependent on music stands like so many musicians do nowadays.

His approaches are based on a mix of pedagogical techniques (Orff, Kodály, Dalcroze and Bassi methods, among others) that foster music education for all ages, from 0 to 99. The study of rhythm, intonation and ear-training takes place not only with the instrument, but also through body movement, singing and the use of small percussion instruments.

A special focus will be placed on keeping a correct posture during instrumental playing by the students. The aim is avoiding the development of unnecessary muscular tension that could affect proper performances.

“Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If a child hears fine music from the day of his birth, and learns to play it himself, he develops sensitivity, discipline and endurance. He gets a beautiful heart.”
