The Show: Face the Music is especially designed for EOIs and the higher levels of IESs. If you have received the brochure you may already know a little bit what to expect. If not, below you will find more detailed information.
Duration: The show takes between 50 and 75 minutes depending on the school schedule.
The Price: For schoolyear 2026 – 2027 the price is set at €250 for 1 session + travel expenses. For double sessions the price is €350 + travel expenses.
Travel expenses: These include toll (peaje) and 20 ct per kilometre from and to Ávila where I live. A single session in, say, Valladolid would then be 250 + 50 (250 km.) = €300.
Invoice: Through our academy we can write an invoice with 0% IVA* as this is a didactic activity, or Masterclass.
*Factura exenta de IVA, en virtud del Artículo 20.9 de la Ley 37/1992 sobre el Impuesto sobre el Valor Anadido.
Equipment: I bring my own speakers, projector, screen and lights. If some of these elements are in place at the venue, I might make use of those. I need about 2 hours to set everything up, so the room has to be free for that too. .
The Venue: It is best for this activity to have a stage with a big screen. Below is a picture of how I prepared the stage for a show at EOI Ávila.

The Design: For the concert I select 10 or 12 emblematic folk and rock songs that I sing and play on the guitar.
For each song I explain some vocabulary and expressions, or I tell an anecdote about the singer or the band, using images or video clips as visual aids.
Kahoot!: I have prepared a Kahoot! quiz with 10 questions.
If students are allowed to have their phones on them, we can do the Kahoot with a question about each of the songs and have a little prize prepared for the winner. Of course, after the Kahoot, and if there is time and if so desired, I can always play an encore…..
