After dedicating myself for a long time to playing the saxophone and having played in several countries and orchestras, I decided to move a little more into the pedagogical field of the saxophone.
In 2017 I arrived in Munich (Germany) to do my master’s degree in saxophone performance and started giving several saxophone and piano lessons in music schools. I soon realized that my classes lacked structure and some more pedagogical content, so when I finished my master’s degree, I started studying music pedagogy.
With the COVID pandemic, there were no more concerts, so I dedicated myself entirely to online music classes. Until then, this whole online education thing was an unexplored world for me, but I realized that it is not as difficult as it seems and that it has nothing to envy to face-to-face classes.
What I Do and Why
Over time I realized that many of my students were quite unwell after going through a pandemic, so many of my classes became more therapeutic. In them I let my students express themselves, complain about their day-to-day lives, or tell me about their worries and then, calmer, make music together. My goal was for them to leave my class with a smile.
That’s why I started studying psychology, with the goal of one day being able to combine psychology and music and continue to help my students.
So here we are. If you think I can help you in any way, write to me in the box below and let’s start making music together!
