About Me

“His willingness to work hard combined with his talent makes Miguel a very serious and intelligent pianist”. This is how Katia Veekmans describes the Portuguese pianist who started his studies in music at the age of 18. He performs solo and with various chamber music groups in venues through Portugal, Spain, Holland, and Belgium. Concerned about education and social projects, he is the pianist and composer of the community music project “Música100Idade”, founded in Portugal, and currently acting in Belgium and Holland under the name SoundBox MusicLab.
At the present time, he is doing a master degree in Piano Performance at the Conservatorium Maastricht, in Katia Veekmans’ class.
Previously, Miguel did his bachelor’s degree in piano performance at Escola Superior de Música, Artes e Espectáculo (ESMAE) in Porto, and his master’s in education in Aveiro University, where he researched and developed strategies concerning memorization in piano with children and teenage students. Meanwhile, he taught piano for several years in different schools spread throughout the northern region of Portugal, working with babies, toddlers and children and adults.
In the words of the pianist Constantin Sandu, “his main quality is the ability to strive for learning and improvement. In this aspect, he was one of the best examples among ESMAE students, having achieved remarkable progress during his studies at this school.”

In the lessons, we will be focusing on setting or developing all the required skills for the students to be able to perform independently, understand the musical language, and explore their own sound. Focusing on posture, hand coordination, rhythm, ear training, reading scores, and improvisation. So far my musical exposure in many different genres allows me to create a lesson that is adapted to the specific needs of my students. I have garnered the patience and belief in the idea that anyone can become a part of the music world with the proper amount of attention and guidance.

Cello and Music lessons for beginner, intermediate and advanced players (all ages).

My goal is to find, with the student, the joy and the feeling of profound concentration while playing an instrument.
The lessons are of course adapt to each student, but the common thread will always be to try to combine music and technique, leaving out boring mechanical exercises.

My name is Sofija and I am a pianist currently studying at Conservatorium Maastricht.

I believe that music helps us to develop skills and qualities such as patience, accuracy and sensitivity that we all need in our daily life. It can be also a great way to connect to other people or to yourself.

In the lessons we will focus on your needs and wishes both if you are a beginner or an advanced player. My goal would be to make a beginner feel comfortable with features such as good orientation in the scores and on the keyboard, musical and rhythmical playing, basic technical skills and knowledge of musical terminology. With an advanced player we will further develop their own interpretation and musical ideas.

Lessons can be taught in English, Czech or Russian.

I'm excited to share my experience with you and be creative together!

Whether you're a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or more experienced wanting to refine your skills, all lessons are tailored to each student's needs and goals, with the aim of building confidence and authenticity in their singing and/or develop a strong foundation on musical knowledge.

For the singing lessons, we'll be covering breathing and vocal technique, interpretation along with expression and, depending on your goals, the approach we will have can be either focued on singing or holistic; including music theory, rhythmic skills and basic piano skills.

Lessons are available in various styles, so whatever your musical passion, we can bring it to life together!
And, having a background in jazz music, I can also help you develop your improvisation skills, giving you the freedom to explore and create your own sound!

Music theory, rhythmic lessons and basic piano skills are, of course, also offered as separate courses. So if you have no idea on how to read music or you are feeling clumsy when it comes to rhythm or piano, there's no problem! We can work on this together from scratch! :)

Saxophone lessons:

Mathias' lessons are for both beginners and advanced students. The lessons are based on the student's desire to learn and be inspired, and it is important for him to be able to help develop and stimulate this desire.

Selected focus points in the lessons are:
- Sound and equality
Focus on uniform quality throughout the register and feeling that you have control and decide for yourself over the instrument.

- Ear training
Particularly the ability to perceive, retain and reproduce musical structures. This is trained with Mathias through simple and effective principles.

In Mathias' lessons, you are provided with various exercises that strengthen embouchure, breathing technique and your understanding of harmony and improvisation.

He places great emphasis on the fact that the student is not in an exam, but in a work process, and that the student's wishes and motivation are at the center.

Especially for beginners
For the first lesson, Mathias provides a saxophone. Write a non-binding message to Mathias if you are interested or have any questions.

About Mathias:
He is very passionate about creating music in all sorts of settings and about playing and teaching saxophone 🎷 He finished his studies at Conservatorium Maastricht last year.
