Passionate about education, Catalina has developed an innovative approach to historical performance practice pedagogy, using curated knowledge-based-networks for engaging the students with historical sources through an active reflective process. Through this method, alongside the technical and musical skills development, each student examines how knowledge influences their own performance, not only to give a better understanding of the music but encouraging the process of musical embodiment and artistic individuality of each student.
