Why Shine
More than music lessons in Barcelona
Music connects our thoughts and memories, becoming a personal soundtrack to life.
We pride ourselves on connecting you with the best teachers with classes tailored to your needs, so that your musical journey can be an exceptional one.
Our teachers are hand-picked professional musicians, teaching students of every age and level, from guitar, piano, singing and drums to strings, brass and woodwind, music theory and production. Learning an instrument gives you time to unwind, express yourself and enjoy making music, and a Shine gift voucher lets you give the gift of music to someone else.

Common questions
If something is not answered here, ask us. We are happy to talk it through.
Which instruments can I learn?
Almost anything, from guitar to piano to violin. We teach nearly 40 instruments: guitar, piano, singing, drums, bass, violin, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, cello, double bass and many more, including less common ones such as the banjo, the Arabic oud, the tin whistle and the Galician bagpipes. You can also study music production, composition and music theory. Private classes are one to one with a professional teacher, in every style and at every level.
Where is the school, and when is it open?
In Barcelona, in the Gràcia neighbourhood. Our reception is at c/ Montseny 3, and the classrooms are close by, at Pere Serafí 23 and 25 and Sant Lluís 9. We are open Monday to Friday, 09:30 to 21:00, and Saturday, 10:00 to 21:00. The nearest metro stations are Fontana, Diagonal and Joanic.
How much are the classes?
We recommend one hour a week: 4 hours a month for 131€ a month. If you prefer less, 2 hours a month (30 minutes a week, or one hour every two weeks) is 76€, and 3 hours a month (45 minutes a week) is 106€. You can also buy a lesson pack: 16 hours for 471€, and packs start from 8 hours. The 35€ registration fee is charged once, not every year.
From what age can you start, and do you teach adults?
Private classes usually start at 5 or 6, depending on the child. For younger children we offer music awareness and beginner music classes, and some children start an instrument such as ukulele as young as 4. Adults of any age are welcome, from complete beginners to advanced players, and you do not need to read music to start.
In which languages are the classes taught?
In English, Spanish and Catalan. You can ask for a teacher who speaks your language: the school will try to find one, but it cannot be guaranteed.
Can I take classes online?
Yes. Online classes are live, with real teachers, in English or Spanish, and they cost the same as in-person classes, with the same course formats. You can also mix online and in-person classes.
Can I take a trial class?
Yes. A trial class is 29€. It is a get-to-know-you class: you meet the teacher, try the instrument and get a feel for what classes at Shine are like before you choose a course.
