Teacher - Educator
I have been a music educator since 1993, when I started teaching at the Taller De Músics in Barcelona after I had just graduated. 15 years after, I still have a strong passion for teaching (also a lot more experience!) and I enjoy it a lot. Teaching is a great learning experience for me, I feel fortunate to have learned a whole lot from my students.
I currently teach privately at my home studio in Brooklyn, as well as at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City. I also teach a number of workshops and master classes through the year at several schools in Europe (especially Spain and Portugal) and the U.S.
If you're interested on studying with me privately or hiring me for a workshop or master class, don't hesitate to contact me.
