Nuria C.

Hi there, my name is Nuria, I have studied in music conservatories for seventeen years, back in Spain, where I am from, and then in Amsterdam the Netherlands. I started when I was nine years old, and for the first ten years, I had the same flute teacher, until I started my Bachelor's at the age of 18. My first teacher focused all of her energy on ensuring that I developed my own musical identity. She guided me to create my own ways to study flute in order to make artistic choices and transmit that identity. Having such a teacher is the reason why I continued being a musician, and why I developed an intense passion for teaching. It also deeply influenced the kind of teacher I would become. I have been teaching for many years to students of all ages, from six-year-olds to adults. I have given lessons both to individual students and to small groups, and I have some experience in ensemble conducting see CV for details. Besides, having worked as a historical tour guide in Amsterdam and Utrecht has given me excellent training when it comes to speaking in public long periods each tour lasted about three hours and made me develop new systems to transmit content in an entertaining and effective way. I have always found a wonderful source of inspiration in every single student I have had. As a music teacher, I guide a student to discover their own potential, open doors of knowledge, and encourage them to look through those doors and dare to figure out the person they want to become. Each student has unique needs in that process, and empathizing with them at such a level constitutes for me the most captivating challenge.
