Patricia Grau Garcia

​

I am a native of Callosa de Segura (Alicante). I studied at the C. S de Murcia "Manuel Massoti Little" where I obtained the Title of Middle Degree in the specialties of Piano and Musical Language and the Title of Superior Degree in  Repentance, Transposition and Accompaniment,

My love for the arts  It takes me from a very young age to investigate the world of dance  taking countless courses in  Spanish dance,  flamenco and  contemporary dance (Aida Gómez, Mariquilla, Blanca Li, Ramón Oller, Horacio Macuacua ... and in continuous training with Rosa Mª Herrador)  Getting  The Bachelor's Degree in Contemporary Dance at the Reina Sofía Dance Center in Granada.

My interest in artistic manifestations led me to expand my training with a Master in Performing Arts at the Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid

My concern for the body  physical as an indissoluble mind-body connection   takes me  to study yoga and chiromassage, putting it into practice in my work as a teacher

Since 1992 I have been a career civil servant in the specialty of Repentance, Transposition and Accompaniment. And since 1997 I have been working as a teacher at the RCSMúsica de Granada "Victoria Eugenia".

Complementing my work  teacher with  my artistic side creating, imagining and investigating.
