About Me
I'm Mehrnoosh, a professional musician, composer, and Santoor player currently based in Finland. With over two decades of experience mastering the Santoor, a traditional Persian instrument known for its rich folk modes and ‘Dastgâhs.’ My musical journey began at the University of Tehran, College of Fine Arts, where I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music performance, graduating as the class valedictorian.While my roots are deeply grounded in Persian traditional music, my interests have expanded to include modern contemporary music in recent years. This shift has led me to explore innovative projects that fuse electronic sounds with the traditional Santoor melodies. Currently, I'm pursuing my second master’s degree at the Sibelius Academy in Finland, reflecting my commitment to lifelong learning and musical growth.
My artistic vision revolves around sharing the beauty of Iranian music with the world by seamlessly blending traditional elements with contemporary influences. I've had the privilege of participating in esteemed festivals like Etnosoi, Oulu Festival, and Nomads Festival in Finland, collaborating with renowned professors worldwide.
Throughout my career, I've been honored with numerous awards in both contemporary and traditional music, including recognition from prestigious competitions like the Gilgamesh International Composition Competition and Reza Korourian’s Composition Competition. Additionally, I've authored several publications, including albums, singles, and books.

Online Classes of Piano, Keyboards and Musical LanguageThe Tecla y Música Workshop is a space designed to learn and develop your musical and expressive sense through the piano and / or keyboards.
The main objective is to learn to make music and enjoy the learning process and its results.
The material with which we work (songs, instrumental pieces and exercises) is mainly oriented to your musical taste, and the choice is based on gradually expanding your technical and expressive possibilities, while exploring different musical styles.
In this way, different tools are being incorporated to achieve, in a short term, mastery and fluency over the musical language and the instrument.
Given that each student has different interests and concerns, whether playing as a hobby or developing a professional career, composing, improvising, etc., the orientation of the classes is built according to the possibilities and particular needs of each case.
The work proposal implies a weekly class frequency to achieve optimal work dynamics and that the results are visible in a short term.
There is also the possibility of taking isolated classes in order to solve a specific objective such as developing and perfecting some particular aspect of music practice and / or theory as well as preparing instrument exams or theoretical subjects for institutions of musical studies.

CELLO & MUSIC LESSONS FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS WITH A PROFESSIONAL CELLIST WITH 10 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE (IN PERSON AND ONLINE)Are you in love with the sound of the cello but have never dared to start playing it?
Have you been playing the cello as an amateur and now need an expert to guide you?
Do you want to develop and improve your cello and musical skills?
Do you need reinforcement lessons?
Would you like to prepare for entrance exams to the conservatory?
Would you love to join a youth orchestra and need help preparing for the auditions?
...
These are the private cello lessons you were looking for!
My name is Miriam, I am a graduate in Master of Classical Music at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent and currently I am studying a Posgraduate in Musical Performance Practice.
I've been teaching cello to children, teenagers and adults for 10 years, so I've acquired the necessary experience to be able to adapt to the different and personal needs and objectives of each student. My teaching methodology focuses on creating a friendly and relaxed environment (which does not mean undemanding!) in which students feel confident to express their own ideas and worries. In my lessons I focus on technical and postural questions, but we also reflect together on the music, as I like my students to develop their own musical ideas and not just imitate the teacher.
Contact me now to schedule your first lesson and take the first step toward your musical aspirations! :)
