I consider myself a passionate, creative, dynamic, and organized person. I believe one of my talents is patience and the ability to understand the needs each student may have in their instrumental learning process. I begin teaching with the Suzuki and Stradivarius methods, although I also have experience with different methodologies and advanced instrumental techniques. I also love modern music, so if you want to learn contemporary songs, I can adapt them to your learning pace. My teaching is designed for children from ages 4–5 to teenagers, young adults, and adults at more advanced levels. From a very young age, music and the arts were always present at home—my father is a musician, and my mother is an artist and early childhood educator. I started studying violin at the age of 8 through the Suzuki method. I was a “Suzuki child” and had the opportunity to participate in various national gatherings where I experienced the passion of playing music and developed a deep love for the violin. During my higher education, I took part in several national and international festivals and had the privilege of studying with renowned international teachers such as Andrew Zaplatynsky, Juan Ramírez, Robert Stepanian, and many others. After completing my undergraduate studies, I earned a position at Altamira International School, a prestigious private institution, where I discovered my passion for teaching children and young people, as well as for creating educational cultural projects. I served as a teacher and coordinator of the school’s music program. There, I taught violin, viola, and music theory, and I also directed the children’s orchestra and chamber music ensembles. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s degree at the Complutense University of Madrid in Cultural Management with a focus on the performing arts. Cultural management is an area I truly enjoy, as I aspire to provide opportunities for more children and young people to access music education. At the same time, I continue developing professionally as a teacher, studying violin performance under Maestro Sergio Gil Gomes.
