About
I'm a Professional Musician from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I studied Music at Jazz School in "Conservatorio Manuel de Falla". I have also studied with Maestros like Carlos Michelini, Marcelo Ruiz Schulz, Guillermo Fernandez.
I have been giving private lessons since 2012, and I have found there a passion for teaching and sharing music with students I didn't know i had.
I have also played in several Jazz Clubs, Music Festivals and Concerts in Argentina and Latam.
Music is my passion and I want to share it with you while I accompany in your musical path!
Teaching Style
I like to prepare customized approaches for every student, allowing me to pick out and develop strong points of yours, regardless of music skills and knowledge or age.
In the lessons we learn:
- BREATHING, POSTURE, PROPER EMBROCHURE
The basics for playing any wind instrument is to develop a correct embrochure, a relaxed posture and understanding how to breathe using the diaphragm. Building these foundations is the key to start without frustrations!
-TECHNIQUE AND REPERTOIRE
Learn and develop the proper technique in order to being able to play every music you like. It's best to find a balance between technique exercises and learning songs/music you feel motivated to play to.
- MUSICAL NOTATION
Music reading and notation, learn to read any score or piece of music you want to play.
- IMPROVISE IN VARIOUS STYLES
Develop your musicality by learning to improvise in different rhythms and styles, being able to express yourself freely. Understand how harmony works and how can we transform technical exercises like scales, arpeggios and patterns into a consistent musical speech
- PLAY AND GET FAMILIAR WITH VARIOUS MUSICAL STYLES
Jazz, rock, pop, folk, classical music, etc. You can learn to play whatever style you dream to, and understand what makes a genre sound like one.
-HAVE FUN LEARNING AND PLAYING
The most important part of this is the most basic: have fun.
Enjoy learning music and playing and instrument. Seeing your progress will keep you motivated and enthusiastic!
