Cello with Alba Page

Pau Casals' vision of feeling music as a means to transmit and to help create a better world was the key that led her to choose the cello as her profession.

In 2015, the discovery of the Suzuki Method philosophy led her to devote herself to pedagogy, training year after year as a teacher of this method and of which she is already a level 5 (and last) teacher. His teachers Arantza López and Eulalia Subirà have been a source of inspiration towards pedagogy and towards life. During her formative years, she has also been fortunate to receive classes from Carey Beth Hockett, Chantal Latil, Rubén Rivera, Tessa Oakley and Anja Maja.

Her concern to continue exploring the first stage of musical learning, has led her to train as a teacher of the Music Learning Theory of Edward Gordon, dedicated to getting babies from 0 years old to internalize music as a language that is part of them and of its tonal, rhythmic, psychomotor and intellectual growth.
