A special note on childhood and families

Sometimes, I also work directly with families — as a mentor and educator for the youngest members of the household.

The rights of children move me deeply. I believe meaningful impact begins in how we accompany the earliest stages of life — by protecting childhood, honoring their voice, and sharing knowledge. Thanks to music and other relevant disciplines, I strive to help integrate into childhood the values that protect and nurture what it means to be human, feeling and observing what human means without any judgement but comprehension, especially in this broken system where so many aspects still need healing and care.

For me, every cultural professional should be able to share what they know with the youngest and feeling a real deep commitment to share knowledge with the youngest, as cultural and artistic ambassadors. True commitment to artistic education starts at the root — and it’s in our hands, in the hands of the cultural sector, to empower human values through art and care from the earliest years. There should be no borders when it comes to communicating complexity through simplicity — if knowledge truly lies within your core.

Whenever I choose to work with a family, it is a special and intentional decision — rooted in cultural and social awareness. It becomes a space for discovery, not just instruction. What matters is not what children may become in the future, but the opportunity to nurture questioning, dialogue, and reflection — enriching conversations that shape their values and inner world, while learning and exploring music and the extraordinary legacy of Western Music History, alongside other traditions.

I feel happy that through music and the learning spaces I can create —thanks to my interdisciplinary background— families find a partner in crime to navigate conciliation, while children discover a mentor, a respectful teacher and educator, besides a genuine friend, and a playful accomplice. Someone who makes them feel seen, heard, and cherished —helping them respond to the complex questions of our contemporary world, often through the great inner power of metaphorical language. This includes fostering awareness of children’s rights and recognizing how much work we —as a society— still have ahead of us to build a more just and caring future.

In my experience as an educator, I am proud to have worked as a mentor and music educator for children from a wide range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds —from the children of immigrant families working the land, to those from some of Spain’s most well-known and influential households. This is my special way of thanking the greatest masters I have had —and still have— throughout my career, by giving back to society the light of the knowledge they once shared with me since I was a child.
