About my method THINK IN MUSIC

During my masterclasses in various countries, I have consistently observed a lack of effective methodologies in students' practice and learning routines. Consequently, I have devoted myself to developing efficient learning strategies aimed at optimizing time and energies. Through constant application of cognitive processes in music learning and practice, I emphasize understanding of music structures, direction of musical phrases, musical tension and relaxation, and the study of harmonic functions. Cognitive skills are engaged and through reasoning and demonstration, the music score becomes not the starting point; rather, the culmination of the learning process. I observed significant progress in all my students. Without necessity of pointless repetitions, their memorization skills have consistently improved, and their technical abilities have been enhanced, as the understanding of musical language and its structures and rules are always prioritized.
