Meet the Instructor

What do you teach?

I teach piano, advanced classical and modern harmony, scoring for film, TV and media, and flute. You can have your classes in English or Spanish!

What makes you want to share your skills and knowledge?

I would've loved to have someone growing up who would explain harmony and composition to me in a way that is fun and practical. I hope to become that someone.

What is your experience in your craft and how are you evolving?

I started playing flute when I was 8 years old, and piano when I was 14. I then decided to become a Media Composer. I studied at the advanced conservatory of music of Seville (Spain) and then, I got into Berklee College of Music to study a MM in Scoring for film. Currently, I'm working for the renowned media composer Jeff Russo.

What’s your style of teaching?

I believe creating a safe space for students is the main key.  I think students should not be afraid of making mistakes, because that's how you learn the most. It's important to create an environment where students don't feel judged and I view myself as just a guide to their creativity. Intuition is a very valuable skill. But not every student has intuitive abilities (mainly if they are not very familiarized with what they're learning). So my job, in that case is to give them the tools they need to develop that intuition and that way, make the learning process much more exciting and refreshing. Nevertheless, rules are rules, mainly in music and harmony, but rules are also meant to be broken sometimes. It's just a matter of balance between knowledge and creativity, and the good thing is that both of those can be taught!

What keeps you creatively inspired?

I try to find inspiration in daily little things, even if it's not related to work. I recently moved to the states, so I found myself being inspired by every cultural difference, learning something new from this place every single day. Maintaining my relationships, my family and friends, the ones I left behind in Spain but also the ones I recently made here. They are a constant source of inspiration for me.

Lidia is my dream piano teacher! She's friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. Her piano lessons have been challenging but I have so much fun I don't even realize how much I have done! I have been taking piano lessons from Lidia for over a year and don't know what I would do without her! Highly recommend her!
