ALONSO, Carmen

Carmen Alonso studied piano, solfège, and music theory at the conservatories of León, Valladolid, and Madrid. Her musical career has been influenced by teachers such as Joaquín Pildain and Ángel Arias, but above all by the composer and teacher Ángel Barja, from whom she draws her musical strength as a professor.

She expanded her knowledge of Music Therapy at the University of the Basque Country and in the European city of Esztergon (Hungary), which she then shared with her students and choral groups. Among her repertoire, we should highlight “Tierra Yerma” (1992); “Sonidos para un espacio” (1993); “Intermezzo” (2006), for cello and piano; “Danza para una niña” (1980); “Luna de noviembre” (1992); and “Amor de Melibea” (2007). She has composed works for violin, viola, cello, and organ, such as “Agnus Dei” (2002).

Her musical teaching has led him to produce highly pedagogical works, including a series of educational materials for brass instruments.
