What we teach
Lessons
One-to-one teaching for children and adults, from the very first lesson through to conservatory preparation. Lessons run for 30, 45 or 60 minutes — most students settle on 45.

- 45 minutes — the usual choice
- 60 minutes — advanced work and audition preparation
- Languages
- Spanish, English and Catalan. Dutch on request — ask us.

Cello
Lucía teaches cello with an emphasis on a relaxed, healthy setup: how you sit, how you hold the bow, how the sound opens up. From there, repertoire from the first pieces to the standard concertos.
