About Me

I am classically trained professional viola/viola player. I graduated from my masters at Conservatorium Maastricht a year ago. I have been studying, performing and teaching music over 10 years.
I love teaching as well as performing. Therefore, I am very enthusiastic toward my students and I believe that the best way of teaching to my students should contain hard work as well as fun!
I will give them tasks and challenged them but in an easy- going way. We will be playing duos together and doing exercises. I will add little homework after every lesson for a better improvement.

Learn how to play violin in English, Portuguese and Spanish (suitable for all ages & abilities)
Hi! Originally from Madeira (Portugal), I have been playing the violin for more than 20 years. After graduating from Bachelor and Masters, both at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, I have decided to pursue my education in the teaching field, currently enrolled on a second master's degree, this time in teaching. In addition to already having a vast curriculum as a soloist or orchestral musician, I consider myself highly passionate about teaching, not only violin but also music theory. I have been very lucky to have had great teachers, who, in addition to have taught me the violin and the love for music, they have also shaped the person I am today. I can't find anything more rewarding than to share everything what I learned throughtout all these years!

Music Lessons (Jazz & Modern Guitar, Jazz Music, General Theory, Ear & Rhythmic Training) from a Master Degree graduated. Also ONLINE
Jazz & Modern Music Lessons in Amsterdam and ONLINE. If you’re passionate about music and would like to develop musical skills of your own, I can help. I am a graduate musician who can teach students of all levels. Some topics that I cover are, jazz and modern guitar, music theory, jazz improvisation and theory (any instrument), ear training and jazz/pop/hip-hop composition and arrangement. I can also teach piano for beginners. I cover a range of styles from jazz to other modern styles like Bossa Nova, Samba, Funk, Rock and Groove music. With ten years of experience in studying, practicing and playing, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to learn music is to develop your musical ear. This is done by the process of to transcribing and singing. I believe that music is like speaking a language so I start with teaching you how to connect your voice to your instrument. In accordance with your rhythm in the learning process, I will introduce you to harmony, teach you how to read music, and how to compose your own melodies and improvise.
