Intro
Hi! I am Aixa. Music, dance and education are my passions and I have dedicated my life to training myself in these disciplines. When I am teaching and when I am performing, I share my joy with others.
I am a musician and a music educator with a focus in classical piano, piano pedagogy and music and movement.
I am also a dancer, trained especially in Spanish Dance and Flamenco.
I am a certified primary school teacher specialized in Music and English.
I have more than 10 years of experience, gathered in both Spain and in Finland, teaching children and adults (primary, international, and music schools); private students and teachers and music education students.
Additionally, I have a postgraduate diploma in teaching Spanish as a second and a foreign language.
​
I speak Catalan, Spanish and English fluently, and some Finnish.
