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. Neutral syllables are used when singing, similar to baby babble, so 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.

Let’s build and play musical shakers from recycled materials! A family workshop in collaboration with GETA-Samtök
August 31sy, 2025, 12:00 at Gerðasafn as part of the Hamraborg Festival
Join us for a fun, hands-on workshop where children and their families can build and decorate their own musical shakers using everyday waste materials like plastic bottles, toilet rolls and cardboard. This activity invites participants to explore their creativity while learning about the value of repurposing simple items. 
After the instruments are ready, we will end with a guided jam session, where everyone will have a chance to experiment with rhythm and sound together with their newly built shakers. Designed especially for international families, this workshop is perfect for multilingual groups and encourages participation across cultures and languages. 
Materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own bottles or cartons to use. Facilitated by Natalia Duarte Jeremias, Lisa Mazzocchi and Ríma Naser, who can communicate in Icelandic, English, Spanish, Arabic, Italian, and rhythm! Let’s create instruments and make music together!
