Live Courses
Group Classes:
Group classes are held in the basement of the Restaurante Centro Gallego, c/ Donoso Cortes, 7 (in front of the "mercado de Ruzafa") en Valencia.
Our group classes are organized by musical abilities, not by instruments. That means musicians that play different instruments but have similar abilities learn together. Mixing instruments from the beginning helps our students develop their musical ear faster and prepares them to start playing in jam sessions and in bands.
