Personal Description:

The lessons will be at your home, and the fees here are for local students. If you live more than 10 miles from me, other fees will applied. There's the option of online lessons too.

I was born in Gran Canaria and began to study music at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

The First degree I got was Profesor de Piano (a professional degree) then I changed to another kind of subjects because performing was not that I was looking for. At that time, I started to teach at the Escuela Municipal de Música de Telde where I taught sol-fa and piano for a year to young people. The second degree I got was Profesor Superior de Solfeo, Teoría de la música, transposición y acompañamiento. Then I became a newspaper journalist for 12 years, writing more than 800 reviews of classical music concerts at CANARIAS7 (the most read newspaper of the Canary Islands). I also started to work at the same conservatoire I was studying in, 21 years already, and my first experience was teaching History of Music and Improvisation. To be able to finish my last degree I had to study at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, for four long years, a difficult time because I had to work in one island and study in other for that period. That degree was Profesor Superior de Armonía, Contrapunto, Composición, Orquestación e Instrumentación. Xavier Zoghbi was my composition teacher in Gran Canaria and in Tenerife was Miguel Ángel Linares.

These have been my official studies but I wouldn't like to finish without mentioning my private teachers: Francisco Guerrero Morales, to whom I owe everything I am as a teacher and his son (one of the best composers Spain has given to the world) Francisco Guerrero Marín, who introduced me into composition related with mathematics and computers, and that was the seed for my interest in composition, my current profession, not only writing music but teaching Musical Analysis, which I consider one of the most important subjects both for performers and composers.

Tutoring Experience:

22 years at the Conservatorio Profesional de Musica de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
1 year at the Escuela Municipal de Música de Telde.
35 years private tuition.

Tutoring Approach:

The lessons are totally personal, I believe that every student is completelly different and the approach has to be different too.
In the early stages, I provide with the music, I would write the music that suits the students, till they get the proper level to start with the traditional repertoire.
