Teaching

“A Music Moment” is a 30 minute participatory music session aimed for children ages 0 to 3 and their families.The event takes place without words, so it is open to audiences of any linguistic background. 
The methodology of this project is inspired by Edwin Gordon’s Music Learning Theory, a pedagogic approach that guides children into developing audiation, which is the comprehension of music and the basic foundation of musicianship. One particularity of this method is the lack of use of language:  neutral syllables are used when singing, similar to baby babble. In this way spoken language is taken out of the equation and the full attention  goes into making music together. I composed the pieces of the events  to meet the needs of variety and complexity that best fits the children’s learning process, and they're also fun for parents to sing along.

 This project is done in collaboration with the Nordic House, and received support from the Children's Fund of Iceland in 2024.

Teaching has been a regular activity since I was a music student in my homecountry. I am empathic and adapt my music lessons to the interests and goals of my students. Furthermore, I have experience teaching violin, viola, orchestra, ear training and introduction to music for students of all ages and levels, both as private students and in music schools. I have also led instrumental masterclasses and workshops in Costa Rica, Spain and Italy. 
Besides my master's degrees in modern and early music, I obtained a master's degree in instrumental pedagogy in the Conservatory of Padua in 2022, and wrote a thesis on the use of improvisation as a didactic tool for string ensembles. I have also completed a course on Gordon's Music Learning Theory (MLT) for children from ages 0-6 at  AIGAM (Italy). In the last year I have been developing an interactive concert format for young children and their families.
I teach in person and online. For inquiries write me a message.
