As a teaching artist, Julio has spent over a decade teaching in several academies, schools and conservatories where he has always created a very special connection with his students. As a very creative person himself, Julio loves to develop the kids creativity and their love and appreciation for music. Julio believes in the power of art and education to inspire the next generation as our teachers inspired ours. When he is not writing or teaching, you can find him expanding his collection of board games and trying to learn something new.
