Guadalupe López Íñiguez

About

Dr. Guadalupe López-Íñiguez is a Spanish researcher, musician, and educator based in Finland. Her main goals as an academic are to support music students in their physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development, and to help performing musicians in building a thriving career. Guadalupe holds a permanent position as a University Researcher in the fields of instrumental pedagogy and performance science at Sibelius Academy, University of the Arts Helsinki. She has led multiple research projects as a PI since 2009; as an Academy Research Fellow appointed by the Research Council of Finland, she is currently leading the project “The Politics of Care in the Professional Education of Children Gifted for Music” (2022-2027). In recognition of her contributions to the psychology of music education, she has been awarded several international prizes and has received honorific titles from the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music (Honorary Senior Fellow) and the Sibelius Academy (Docent). An important part of her scholarly life is dedicated to supervising and empowering doctoral candidates to undertake inspiring projects related to music education.

Some of her current leadership roles include being co-editor in chief of ISME’s Spanish language journal “Revista Internacional de Educación Musical”, co-chair of ISME’s Commission for the Education of the Professional Musician, and a member of the European Association of Conservatoires’ Artists as Makers in Society project. Guadalupe is co-editor of “Learning and Teaching in the Music Studio – A Student-Centred Approach” (Springer, 2022), and has published multiple peer-reviewed articles and book chapters with leading publishers. She is internationally sought-after to serve as a distinguished speaker as well as an expert for academic journals, doctoral committees, scientific conferences, and funding bodies. In addition to the field of gifted education in music, her research expertise includes constructivist pedagogy and conceptual change, musicians’ employability and careers, identity and lifelong learning, and wellbeing, as well as music performance optimisation and theories of emotion and motivation. 

As a musician herself, Guadalupe knows the music performance field from within. She holds a Master’s degree in classical music performance and plays professionally on baroque, classical, and modern cellos. Alba Records released her critically acclaimed albums with the complete cello works by Gabrielli and Scarlatti in 2018, and the complete cello works by Mendelssohn in 2019. She has played recitals at relevant festivals and venues in Estonia, Finland, Germany, Holland, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. She has recorded for radio and television and collaborates at times with the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra. She also has earlier professional experience as a studio teacher and curriculum developer at the music school level, having taught cello to children who are now professional musicians.
