Virtual Academy of Composition Marius Diaz

Here, composition is more than technique: it is dialogue, exploration, and personal growth.

I guide your creative process while respecting your style, pace, and personal goals.

MARIUS DÍAZ

Music as a Path

I am Marius Díaz, composer, editor, and teacher with over two decades of international experience. Throughout my career, I have written more than a hundred works, ranging from solo pieces to operas and orchestral music. I have also had the privilege of collaborating with prominent contemporary Hispanic-American composers such as Leo Brouwer, Alfredo Diez Nieto, and Fabián Panisello.

My academic and teaching background at institutions such as the University of the Arts (ISA) in Cuba, the National Pedagogical University of Colombia, and the Reina Sofía School of Music has provided me with a comprehensive vision of music education. This experience, combined with my own creative practice, allows me to guide each student from technical mastery to artistic expression, through a personalized and flexible pedagogy.

For me, teaching music is more than just passing on knowledge: it is a living dialogue where each student discovers their own language. My mission is to guide you on that path, helping you grow with both freedom and rigor, so that composition becomes an authentic way of thinking, creating, and communicating.
