Teaching Philosophy & Profile

Born in April 1995, I began my musical studies at the age of 6, and since then music has been a constant point of reference in my life. My first live performance took place at just 7 years old, while at 14 I started writing my own music, and at 15 I formed my first band performing original material.

My relationship with teaching also started early, as at the age of 20 I taught theory and harmony in a classroom setting for the first time, as part of my teaching practicum. Since then, teaching has become a central part of my professional path, with a focus on both technical development and each student’s personal expression.

Vocal training is not simply a matter of technique, but a process that connects the body, the voice, and expression. My aim is to help each student develop their instrument with awareness and safety, so that expression can function with freedom and consistency. Every voice is unique, which is why my approach is always adapted to the needs and personality of each student, whether they are taking their first steps or pursuing more advanced artistic development.

To this day, I remain actively engaged as a performer and creator, alongside my teaching work, viewing growth in music and knowledge as an ongoing, never-ending process. In addition, I prepare students for Graded Examinations and Diplomas, with consistently successful results.
