01 · Who it's for

Open to everyone.

Some start here at four. Others come back to the piano at sixty. Nobody has to prove anything to walk in.

02 · Our approach

Playing first, taught closely.

You play from the very first lesson. Theory arrives when you need it to understand what is already under your hands.

What a lesson looks like

At the school every lesson is built around what the student enjoys: the piece they want to play, the time they have to practise, and exactly where they are. One-to-one or in very small groups, 30 or 60 minutes.

Piano, guitar, singing and choir, at any age. Technique, interpretation and musical language are worked on through the piece in front of you. Students preparing for official exams are coached here too.

Early years music

For children under 5. They discover music and absorb its basics intuitively — rhythm, pulse, pitch, timbre, movement and singing — through a story in which they are the main characters.

About us

A different way to learn.

Why it exists

It grew from one specific idea: to study music without entering the conservatoire system. No weight of hours, no years of theory before the first note, no courses you pass or fail.

The result is an unusual mix: someone preparing conservatoire auditions, someone who wants to play their own songs, someone who comes because it does them good — all under one roof. Each keeps their own pace; the school adapts.

Cristina Blasi

She trained at the Conservatori Superior Municipal de Música de Barcelona and earned her organ teaching diploma from the Yamaha Foundation of Music in Tokyo.

She was a soloist with the Orfeó Català under Adam Fischer and Franz Brüggen, and directed the Grup Vocal Scherzo for close to thirty years. She had taught since 1986; in 1994 she opened her school. The way she taught still defines the place.

The school today

Since 2022 her son has carried the project on at Carrer de València 61, training the teachers in this approach. What started it remains: very small groups and no imposed levels.

Frequently asked questions

Can I try a lesson before deciding?

Yes. At the Cristina Blasi Music School the first lesson is a trial and commits you to nothing. It is there so you can meet the teacher, see how we work, and decide with something to go on.

Do you teach piano to adult beginners?

Yes. A good share of the students at the Cristina Blasi Music School are adults starting from scratch or returning to the piano after many years. There is no age limit and no entry level.

What age can children start?

Early years music is for children under 5, from age 1, who discover music through play and storytelling. From age 3 they can begin instrument lessons, usually piano.

Do I need to read music before starting piano?

No. Here you play from the first lesson, and notation is folded in as it becomes useful, always tied to the piece you are working on.

How long is a lesson, and how many people are in it?

Lessons at the school are 30 or 60 minutes, one-to-one or in very small groups. There is also a semi-private format: two students with the same teacher.

Do you prepare students for official exams?

Yes. Anyone sitting official exams — conservatoire entrance, grado profesional or equivalent qualifications — can prepare for them here, without that obliging any other student to follow a graded path.

What do you teach besides piano?

Alongside piano, the school teaches guitar, singing and choir, plus early years music for the youngest children.

Are there concerts for students?

Yes. There are two recitals a year, open to families and friends, plus concerts, talks and workshops through the term. Taking part is entirely optional.

How do I get there by public transport?

The school sits between Rocafort and Calàbria, just off Avinguda de Roma. The nearest metro stops are Entença (L5), Rocafort (L1) and Tarragona (L3), all a few minutes on foot, and Sants station is about fifteen minutes' walk.
