Russian Music Academy of Barcelona
Flute
The transverse flute has a clear and agile sound that gets on well with almost any repertoire, from the baroque to jazz. It is light, portable and is learned through breathing: playing it teaches you to listen to your own body.
We offer one-to-one lessons for all levels and with a flexible timetable.
Educational provision
We offer three pathways of music education for our students:
Official qualifications
We prepare students for entrance exams to the country's main conservatoires of music, for both intermediate and higher education degrees.
Trinity College
As an official Trinity examination centre, we offer our students the opportunity to gain an internationally recognised certificate that proves their musical level.
Individual plan
We welcome students of all ages and all levels. For their personal development, we offer individual music tuition plans.
Teachers
Festivals and concerts
Playing in public is the best learning experience.
For this reason, all our students have the opportunity to take part in festivals and concerts organised each year in order to put into practice everything they have learned in the classroom.
Frequently asked questions
At the Academy we accept pupils from the age of 6 upwards, although for flute it is best to assess each case individually. For children aged 2 to 6 we offer music, art and dance classes at the Domisolca School of Artistic Education, which is affiliated with the Academy.
Yes, you need to have the instrument to practise at home right from the start. A student flute is reasonably priced, and in the first lesson the teacher will advise you on the right model depending on the student's age and level.
No. The recorder is a school beginner's instrument; the flute is an orchestral instrument with its own technique and repertoire. Having played the recorder helps with reading music, but the embouchure and fingering are different.
Yes, we accept adult students with no age limit. Before starting, we carry out a personal interview to find out your starting point and your goals, and from there we design a tailor-made programme for you.
Flute lessons are always individual. Complementary subjects — music theory, music history, instrumental ensemble — are taught in groups, with a fixed timetable that you can check before enrolling.
Yes. Our teachers prepare students for the entrance exams to conservatoires in Catalonia at all levels. The Academy's professional grade, lasting six academic years, is specifically tailored towards that objective.
The official syllabus follows the curriculum of the Department of Education of the Generalitat, with elementary and professional grades, and prepares students for entrance to conservatoires. Trinity College London is an eight-level British certification plus an initial level, with international validity. These are two distinct regulated pathways and you can follow one, the other or both.
We teach music in four languages: Spanish, Catalan, Russian and English. Each student can receive their lessons in the language they find most comfortable, subject to teacher availability.

The Academy is part of a broader cultural centre. We offer language and art courses, as well as a programme open to the whole family.
