Om Manuel C. G.

Hello!
My name is Manuel and I am looking forward to be your teacher!

During my lessons, beside learning music, I want the students to have fun and develop a good relation with the instrument.

My field is classical music, so I will teach you to read sheet musics (no worries, it can be funnier and easier that it sounds!), play melodies by ear and the te techniques you need to improve your violin/viola skills step by step.

I also focus on create good practice routine habits. I believe daily practice is the best way to get better, but of course is not always necessary and it should not feel like a tough and difficult homework. I recommend to meet for a lesson once a week to create this habit and keep the motivation up!

For the first meeting I always start with a brief talk to get to know each other a bit and get to know your needs, wishes and what you want to learn in the lesson, followed by a first lesson so you can see how do you feel and if you are confortable during the lesson time!

I have 4 years experience teaching students from 8 to 15 years old, but I am available for students all ages and until Bachelor level.
I have been playing viola for 13 years and I have lot of experience playing in symphony orchestras, for example Ålborg Symphony orchestra, Århus symphony orchestra among others, and chamber music groups.

I studied bachelor degree in music and performance (classical music) in “Conservatorio superior de Musica de Málaga, Spain; and Master in Music at Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium Århus.

I am sure you will love viola as much as I do!
