I am a music teacher with a strong academic background and over a decade of experience spanning early childhood through secondary education. I specialize in instrumental instruction (violin, piano, guitar) and in designing pedagogical proposals that integrate music with visual arts and art history. I have led formal educational settings, socio-cultural projects, and private institutions across Argentina and Brazil, always focusing on expressive, aesthetic, and social development through the arts. I am committed to inclusive, student-centered pedagogy and to building interdisciplinary projects that connect music to dance, visual arts, and history. My experience includes designing English-through-music curricula for early childhood, coordinating community orchestras, and teaching within the Yamaha framework. I thrive in collaborative environments and value cross-cultural engagement with diverse communities.
