Isaac Alonso de Molina prepared for his career with a wide ranging classical music training, graduating from the Conservatory of Valencia in four major subjects: piano, cello, chamber music and music theory, and hereafter combined a professional career as keyboard player in the Orchestra of Valencia and teaching improvisation at the Conservatory of the same city, with private studies of composition and conducting, while also attending diverse courses and seminars on musicology, music theory and historical performance practice.

 

After developing a strong interest towards Early Music, he further graduated in harpsichord with Jacques Ogg at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague (The Netherlands).
