The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, West 129th Street, New York, NY, USA
My professional trajectory reflects a delicate balance between my artistic practice as a pianist and my
dual career as an educator. This mutually beneficial relationship has led to a continuous evolution of
my music pedagogy as I taught a wide range of music students (6 -65 years) with varied skill levels.

I’ve been having piano classes for 2 years and I can clearly see the progress: from where I started not knowing the name of the scales till the moment when I am actually starting improvising with jazz songs. I tried both online and real-life lessons, both provide top quality and impeccable assistance. Highly recommended More...
Piano Lessons
As a Childhood Educator at "Tallers de Musics" in Barcelona, I taught customized piano courses (for beginning, intermediate and advanced students) incorporating jazz standards into child friendly adaptations. At the end of the academic year, I organized performances for all of my students highlighting their accomplishments. Through this experience, I saw the potential to adapt jazz standards for children and am now finalizing the materials for a teaching book entitled ”Jazz for Kids.”
Although I have my own musical tastes and I have greater knowledge in some styles, I think it is important that the student himself makes his musical discovery and that he often propose his own pieces.
I love movie composers, simple classical pieces, popular songs, jazz standards, from Bach to Beatles, I consider myself pretty open-minded.
I consider very important that from the beginning the students have the possibility of playing songs that they love. For this I use as support material some apps such as Playground Sessions, with a great song library so that the student can choose where to start.
