Personal Message
Hi! My name is Cris and I am from Spain. I arrived here two years ago and I am ready to continue teaching in this new country. I have been teaching for many years in Spain, and I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and trying to help new musicians.
Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach Violin as my main subject but I can also teach Viola, Piano and Musical Theory.
Tell me about your qualifications.
I have been a top student at my University in Spain, and I have been doing many projects with "The World Orchestra", "The Spanish Youth Orchestra", "The Catalan Youth Orchestra" and some professional Orchestras like "Lerida Symphony Orchestra" and "Filharmonia of Barcelona Orchestra".
What kind of experience do you have?
I have been giving private Violin, Piano and Viola lessons for many years. Moreover, I have been working as a Music teacher in High School for one year. I am experienced to teach children aged 3 to 99 years old.
How much do you charge?
I normally do a consultation lesson that is half an hour and half the price I charge. I charge 30 pounds for an hour if the student comes to my place, and 35-40 if I have to go to the student's place.
Where do you teach?
I teach at home, 3 minutes walk from Old Street Station. I also travel to students' homes.
When are you available?
Monday-Saturday any arranged time will be fine for me. If it is necessary I can arrange something on Sunday as well.
Which ages and levels do you teach?
I teach any age and any level.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
I haven't got one now, but I will do it necessary.
Do you belong to any professional organisations?
ISM
Where and with whom did you train?
I trained with Corrado Bolsi, Manel Porta in Barcelona(Spain) and with Krzysztof Smietana and Belcea Quartet in London. I have also been to many master classes with Vartan Manoogian, Lina Tur Boned, Mauro Rossi, Agustín Leon-Ara, among others.

The children with music lessons had better memories as well as higher literacy and math...
