Over mij
Born in 1998 in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain, I am Santiago Velo Quintairos. I earned my bachelor's degrees in music and pedagogy in Salamanca, Spain, and further pursued a master's degree at Codarts in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, under the mentorship of Karin Dolman. Currently residing in Rotterdam, I am dedicated to honing my skills in arts and education.
Thanks to Codarts, I am passionately delving into the sonic possibilities of the viola d'amore. My musical aspiration revolves around crafting a distinctive voice on the viola and pushing the boundaries of the instrument's tradition. Additionally, I am one half of "duo pole," a guitar/viola duo.
Explore my journey as I strive to carve my niche in the world of music, blending tradition with innovation on the versatile viola.

Opleiding & Ervaring
Bachelor in Pedagogy and master in teaching (counseling). Actively doing another master about professional guidance.
In terms of music I completed both Bachelor and Master, being the last one in Codarts (Rotterdam)
I possess extensive teaching experience, particularly in the realm of musical methodology such as the Willems approach. My expertise is underscored by a master's thesis dedicated to this specific pedagogy. With nearly two decades of experience playing the viola, I have transitioned into freelancing, aspiring to cultivate my skills not only as a performer—with a keen emphasis on contemporary music—but also as an adept teacher and pedagogue.
