Raquel Castro / Professor of the Conservatoire Nationale de Catalonia / Violin Online Public Lessons

Learn what you're lacking right now with a custom-made lesson plan! /April 2024, 4 (Tuesday) Limited to 2 people

Even after graduating from school, learning the violin continues forever. In the future, develop the ability to solve problems on your own without relying on a teacher, and develop confidence and free expression as a performer.

Raquel Castro, a violinist from Spain. While performing widely internationally with solo, chamber music and orchestra, she is also passionate about teaching younger generations as a violin teacher. Castro believes that a violin teacher needs a sixth sense to spot what each student lacks. When pointing out a problem, do not make a mistake in the timing of what you should say now, divide it into small pieces as simply as possible, and present each solution. The teacher and the student trust each other, and we strive to provide meaningful information for the student to grow as a performer so that pointing out the problem does not become an individual criticism. Castro hopes that by showing how to learn and how to do it, students will have more confidence and freedom to express themselves, and their artistic personality will continue to grow. Create a tailor-made lesson plan for each student, how to use the body based on Galamian techniques (how to hold, Boeing, left hand movement), musical knowledge and skills that can correspond to works of various eras. I encourage you to have plenty of opportunities to play in public in order to teach and be mentally strong. It is important not only to solo, but also to actively participate in chamber music and orchestras and interact with various types of performers. Know your weaknesses and improve your playing skills and expressiveness!



Raquel Castro, a professor at the world-famous Spanish Conservatory of Catalunya, will hold an online public violin lesson on Tuesday, April 2024, 4!

A limited number of people can receive direct guidance from Dr. Lakwell Castro from the And Vision Hall in Ochanomizu, Tokyo, or at your home (online attendance is also available).If you are studying in Spain and are thinking of studying abroad on the violin, you can get a foothold in studying abroad.The lessons of a professor at the Catalan Conservatory of Music in Spain will help you decide where to study abroad.The professor is happy to share various music with Japanese people.Anyone, regardless of age or level, can take this course.Especially for those who are thinking of studying abroad on the violin, preparing for the competition audition, leveling up, and those who are purely music lovers!Don't miss this opportunity!Due to the time difference, it will be held with a very limited number of people.
* Private lessons are recommended for those who do not want to publish lessons or those who do not meet the schedule. If you are interested, please contact an And Vision Counselor.

If you haven't taken lessons yet, you can listen to them.There is so much you can learn by not only playing for yourself, but also watching other people's lessons.In fact, many students in Europe study through listening.It is also an opportunity to listen to the performances of many other people, and through the lessons of various people, you will be able to better understand the teaching method and personality of the teacher.Musical instruments other than the violin can also enjoy the atmosphere of overseas classes, so please feel free to join us.The teaching method of overseas professors is completely different from that of Japan.In particular, the main focus is to "enjoy and express music more", so the points to teach vary from student to student.Isn't it a big point for those who are aiming to study abroad or become a professional in the future to feel how the teaching method is different from Japan?If you want to play an active role overseas, it will be an opportunity to think about studying abroad.

If you are thinking of studying in Spain or other countries in Europe, you can try studying abroad while you are in Japan.Consider the possibility of studying abroad in Europe.

It's a great chance to meet an overseas teacher while you are in Japan!
Just thinking does not open the door to your dreams. There is only action. Don't miss this opportunity!
