About Fernanda
I am a musicologist with an interdisciplinary profile. This may sound intimidating, but deep down it means that I am a very curious person who seeks answers to big questions. For me, musicology has been the discipline that has helped me to connect music with other areas of human knowledge. I studied for a Bachelor's degree in Humanities at the Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLAP) in Mexico and a Master's degree in Musical Studies at the Universidad Veracruzana, where I graduated with a thesis on the generalities of Mexican composer Gustavo E. Campa (1863-1934) music criticism. I am currently finishing my PhD in Music at the University of Southampton in England, where I am writing a thesis on the ideas about progress and civilization that Mexican intellectuals promoted in the music criticism of the second half of the 19th century. I am also a trained violist, I play a little piano and I am learning the basic chords on the guitar to accompany myself when singing. I speak English, a little German and French.
I have taught music history at the undergraduate level and literature history at the high school level. I find it regrettable how the educational system has reduced the diversity of history to political issues, relegating the cultural and artistic part to a paragraph in the textbook. I believe that history should be useful and fun knowledge that allows us to understand our present, and what better way to understand it than through the history of music.
Many people believe that because I have an education in what is called classical, academic, Western and/or European music, they think that I do not enjoy other musical genres and musics from other cultures. Nothing could be more wrong than that. I also have a critical stance towards the Eurocentrism with which the history of Mexico and Latin America has been written.

• The class adapts to your needs and/or interests.
• Access to a syllabus with general and specific topics on the History of Western music, spanning from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Includes the History of Music in Mexico for those interested in this area of knowledge.
• Playlists with the music that we will be studying.
• I relate music themes with literature, art and cinema.
• I believe that developing critical thinking in Humanities and Arts is fundamental. For this reason, part of the sessions focus on listening to pieces and discussing the topic to which the music relates so that the student develops this skill.
• Development of intellectual/academic skills: strategies for reading, organizing information, studying, writing essays and taking exams. (These skills are not limited to an educational system such as high school or higher education, so they can be developed at an advanced age.)

Fernanda es una excelente maestra de música, la conozco desde hace años tanto como compañera de carrera como en sus aventuras musicales en diferentes rubros, siempre logra conectar con los alumnos y enseñarles de manera paciente y muy eficiente. Es una de las mejores músicos que he conocido.
Conozco a Fernanda desde hace varios años. Tiene una gran capacidad de análisis y siempre es muy precisa en los temas. Conoce de historia, de historia de la música y de historia de la música mexicana, además de que es una muy buena ejecutante de viola. La recomiendo ampliamente
Fernanda is an excellent teacher I know - we met at the University of Southampton. We have lessons every week and Fernanda knows a lot! And she is very patient with me and inspiring as a teacher. I highly recommend her without any reservation.
No conozco muchas maestras de historia de la música que tengan tanto la pasión, como el pensamiento crítico necesarios para ayudar a construir el conocimiento y no sólo repetir algo como si fuera ley.
Excelente profesora, muy genuina. Se nota que tiene un gran dominio de la materia y sabe cómo transmitirla de manera clara e interesante. Sus clases son dinámicas y enriquecedoras. ¡Muy recomendable!
I've really enjoyed my classes with Fernanda and I have learnt a lot thanks to her! She is very good at explaining things step by step and adjusting the lesson to the student's needs. I thoroughly recommend her!
