I will do a little audition after completing 2-3 songs of our books. If the student and parents want, this audition could be open for their families.Class Experience
Do you want to learn how to play the Violin or continue with your previous lessons? You are in the right place, I can help you with my experience teaching all levels and ages. Even if you want to learn a specific musical piece, there is no problem at all¡ We could find an arrangement that is suitable for you and I will give you the tools to do it and have fun¡ I have more than 10 years of working with students from 6 years to more than 18 years old. I was a member of the educational team in Music Academies, Schools, and Youth and Children Orchestras. Every student is a completely different person, and for this reason, has a unique way of learning. Currently, I am using different methods and books that are suitable for the plans of each student. To achieve those objectives, I have to prepare myself in the best way to do it. I did my Bachelor’s degree and Performers certificate, multiple extra pedagogy courses as a Kodaly certificate focused in early music education, and now my Masters of Music in performance. The classes will be timetabled in the morning or in the afternoon, and usually have a length of a one 40 minutes lesson every week. However, you can decide another length of time or even twice per week. In this meeting, I will be focused on teaching and improve the basics of the Violin, achieving a good technical base, and being able to play the Violin in the best way. Don`t hesitate to contact me if you want to start or know more about my method.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I was born in Chile and started playing the piano at the age of 10. After that, I begin my Violin studies at the age of 15 years old.
In my experience as a musician, I can say that I have a rich and varied career in professional symphony orchestras, chamber music, and one of the activities that inspire me the most, teaching.
All this allows me to perform my violin and piano in professional orchestras and chamber music ensembles in North, South America, and Europe.
I have more than 10 years of experience teaching in different Schools, Music Academies, and Youth Orchestras added to my Private Students. In all this time, I have learned how to help students reach their highest levels as performers and continue with the musical journey as a great hobby or even professionally.
To define my principal goals as a teacher, I can say that I want to create an educational environment that allows me to guide young learners to begin their journeys in this amazing world that is the music. I love teaching, and I want to express this through my teaching philosophy. Every student is a completely different person, and for this reason, has a unique way of learning. Currently, I am using different methods and books that are suitable for the plans of each student, and we can do the necessary variations in every scenario.
To achieve those objectives, I have to prepare myself in the best way. I did my Bachelor’s degree and Performers certificate, multiple extra Pedagogy Courses as a Kodaly certificate focused in early music education, and now my Masters of Music in performance.
I strongly believe that everyone can learn to play a musical instrument, we just have to find their specific plan, setting our objectives and also having a good time¡
