About Xavi
I am a violinist and educator based in Barcelona, Spain, with extensive experience as a performer and teacher across leading conservatories, music schools, and orchestras in Europe.
As a violin teacher, I currently work at the Conservatori Professional del Liceu in Barcelona, one of the most respected music institutions in Spain, alongside other conservatory and private teaching positions. I have also been awarded in several national and international competitions, including First Prize at the Higini Anglès Competition and the Barcelona Chamber Music Competition, as well as Second Prize at the Emergents Girona Competition and a Special Mention at the Marianne International Competition.
My artistic training is rooted in the European conservatory tradition, with advanced studies at ESMUC (Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya) and long-term artistic and pedagogical development under Professor Sergey Fatkulin.
As both performer and educator, I combine a professional orchestral and chamber music career with a strong pedagogical focus. I believe the violin is a tool for developing technical precision, musical intelligence, and personal expression.
My students range from beginners to advanced violinists preparing auditions, exams, and professional entry, and I guide each of them with a structured, demanding, and supportive approach focused on long-term artistic growth.

My teaching style is structured, personalized, and highly motivating. I adapt each lesson to the student’s goals, personality, and level, making the learning process both disciplined and inspiring.
I focus on building a strong, tension-free technical foundation, developing healthy playing habits, and training students to listen, think, and practice with clarity and independence.
I combine classical violin training with a flexible, student-centered approach, drawing from a wide range of pedagogical materials depending on each student’s needs. This includes scale and arpeggio systems (Flesch, Galamian), standard etudes (Kreutzer, Dont, Mazas, Wohlfahrt), technical studies (Sevcik, Dounis, Marsick, Yost), as well as beginner repertoire and Suzuki-based materials.
Rather than following a single method, I select the most effective tools for each student to ensure clear, consistent, and meaningful progress.
Beyond technique, I help students grow in confidence, musical awareness, and autonomy, while keeping the process engaging and tailored to their personal interests and repertoire.
Recommendations

What I value most about Xavi’s teaching is his ability to identify exactly what needs to be improved and provide clear solutions that produce immediate results. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by too many ideas at once, I always leave the lesson knowing what to focus on and how to work on it effectively.
His explanations are precise, easy to understand, and directly connected to the sound and musical result. I have made more progress in a short period of time than I expected, and each lesson gives me a clear sense of direction.As someone with a demanding work schedule, one of the things I appreciate most is Xavi’s flexibility. His availability makes it easy to fit lessons around work and other commitments without sacrificing consistency.
Beyond that, his attention to detail and deep understanding of violin playing have helped me improve aspects of my technique that I had struggled with for years. Every lesson is focused, practical, and tailored to my needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for serious and effective violin instruction.
What sets these lessons apart is the pursuit of an authentic sound and the attention to every detail, from posture and technique to musical expression. Moreover, the holistic approach makes learning much more than simply playing the right notes, encouraging independence, self-discipline, and personal responsibility throughout the process.
I never thought I could learn to play the violin at my age. I always believed it was something only possible if you start as a child. Thanks to Xavi's patience, clear explanations, and encouragement, I am now able to play with confidence and real enjoyment. What once seemed impossible has become one of the most rewarding experiences of my retirement.
Thanks to Xavi's guidance, I passed my exam with confidence and achieved a result I honestly didn't think was possible. His lessons were structured, practical, and always focused on my goals. If you're looking for a teacher who genuinely helps you succeed, I highly recommend him.
Xavi is an exceptional teacher. He explains concepts clearly, is incredibly patient, and always adapts his lessons to your needs. Learning with him is engaging and effective, and I've made real progress thanks to his guidance. Highly recommended!
My daughter Emily has been studying violin with Xavi for several months, and the progress has been remarkable. What impressed me from the very beginning was his ability to combine high artistic standards with genuine care for the student’s personal development.
He does not simply teach notes and technique. He helps students understand how to practice, how to listen critically, and how to develop discipline and confidence. Emily has become much more focused, patient, and motivated since starting lessons with him.
His attention to detail is exceptional, and his passion for music is evident in every lesson. At the same time, he creates an encouraging environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them.
As a parent, I appreciate his professionalism, clear communication, and commitment to long-term growth rather than quick results. If you are looking for a violin teacher who truly cares about both musical excellence and personal development, I would highly recommend him.At first, I was quite skeptical about taking online classes. I thought it wouldn't be the same as learning in person and that it would be harder to stay focused and understand everything. But after taking classes with Xavi, my opinion completely changed.
His way of explaining things is very clear and easy to follow. Whenever I was confused, he always found a different way to explain it until it clicked. The classes never felt distant or impersonal, even though they were online. In fact, I realized that what really matters isn't whether the lessons are online or in person, but having a teacher who knows how to make things understandable. Xavi definitely does that, and thanks to him I feel much more confident and motivated.I was a colleague and good friend of Xavi in university in 2024/2025. He is very kind and knowledgeable. His temperament is very adapted to teaching. Moreover, he is a talented musician with a lot of ambition. He inspired me a lot
I started learning the violin as an adult, and for years I thought it was much more complicated than it really had to be. Xavi completely changed the way I see the instrument. He has a way of explaining things that makes difficult concepts feel simple and logical. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I finally understand what I’m doing and why. Learning has become much more enjoyable, and for the first time I feel confident that I can keep improving.
We’ve been very happy with Xavi as our child’s violin teacher. He explains things clearly and always seems to know what is most important to work on. Since starting lessons with him, we’ve noticed a real improvement, not only in technique but also in the way our child understands and enjoys the music. His lessons are thoughtful, encouraging, and very well structured. We’re truly grateful to have found such a dedicated teacher.
I started violin from scratch with Xavi and was surprised by how quickly I was able to make real progress. His lessons are very clear and structured, which made it easy to understand what to practice and how to improve step by step.
