Acerca de mí

Pedro was born into a musical family in Lisbon on the 24th of February 1999. As a kid, he listened to his father play the piano part of Beethoven sonatas with his friend Jorge Teixeira. This early exposure sparked Pedro's interest in music, and at the age of five, he began his violin education under the guidance of Ana Rita Mendes.
For the next seven years, Pedro studied under Ana Rita Mendes, developing his skills and passion for music. He continued his studies with Jorge Teixeira and Miguel Simões, two renowned violinists in Portugal. In addition to his violin studies, Pedro also studied piano with Madalena Reis until the end of high school.

As Pedro's passion for music grew, he decided to pursue higher education at the HKU Conservatorium of Utrecht in the Netherlands. Under the guidance of Eeva Koskinen, Pedro completed his Bachelor's degree in 2021. During his studies, he had the opportunity to participate in numerous chamber music performances, which quickly became his passion. Pedro found that playing in small ensembles allowed each musician to express their ideas and inspire others, leading to a richer and more fulfilling musical experience.
Currently, Pedro is pursuing a Master's degree in violin at the Maastricht Conservatorium, studying under the guidance of Yuzuko Horigome, a highly respected violinist and winner of the Queen Elizabeths competition. He is fully immersed in his studies, dedicated to perfecting his craft and expanding his knowledge. In his two years of study, Pedro has focused on improving his audition skills for orchestras, which he hopes to join in the near future. His master project is dedicated to this challenge, and he has been fortunate to work with several new teachers who have helped him to develop his skills and hone his craft.

Pedro's dedication and persistence have led to numerous performances with prestigious orchestras and chamber music groups worldwide. He has played in renowned concert halls such as the Concertgebouw grote zaal, Herkules Hall, Tivoli Vredenburg, Gulbenkian “Grande Auditório,” and “Casa da Música do Porto,” among others. Some of the orchestras he has performed with include the Gulbenkian Orchestra, Het Promenade Orkest, Sinfonietta Isartal, Neue Philharmonie München, and the Symphonic Orchestra of the Balearic Islands, where he was a former academist. Pedro is also part of the Cinemusic Orkest, a film music project that is gaining popularity in the Netherlands. Next year, he will be touring around the Netherlands with the orchestra for around 20 concerts.
In 2022, Pedro participated in a masterclass with the Oberon Trio and won the Music Award Maastricht as a member of the Inspyria Quartet. Currently, he is the first violinist of the Alida Quartet, a Utrecht-based quartet that specializes in performing classical and contemporary music.

Throughout his career, Pedro has honed his skills through various masterclasses with renowned teachers such as Daniel Rowland, Aníbal Lima, Roberto Perez, Elliot Lawson, and Miguel Simões, among others. His talent and dedication have not gone unnoticed, and he has received numerous awards and accolades for his performances.
Pedro plays a violin built in 2015 by Theo Markz, which he holds dear and considers to be a vital part of his musical journey.

Everyone learns differently, and that’s what makes teaching piano so rewarding for me. I aim to create a space where you can grow at your own pace and truly enjoy the process. My approach to lessons is relaxed, supportive, and always tailored to each student’s needs and goals. Whether you're a complete beginner or have been playing for a while, the lessons are designed to help you build skills confidently, with a focus on keeping things enjoyable and motivating throughout.

Lessons typically include a mix of technical exercises, work on pieces (classical, pop, or anything you're interested in). I may also include elements like sight-reading, rhythm, or ear training, depending on what you need. I like to keep things flexible and adapt to what works best for you.

I work best with beginners and intermediate players of all ages. Whether you're learning for fun, picking it up again after a break, or preparing for early-level exams, we can shape the lessons around your goals!

Playing the trombone is so exciting. Many genres to explore!
Are you looking to start learning the trombone? Perhaps you already play for some years but want to improve your technique, breathing skills, or learn a new genre? I am Alberto, and I will help you achieve your musical goals with a tailor-made program. My approach is to find suitable music for your technical and expressive level and work specifically on the challenges that it represents.

Music is for everyone! Kids and adults
Perhaps you want to surprise your couple playing a bossa-nova. Or maybe you want to become the next solo trombone at the Concertgebouw Orchestra. Everyone has different goals when playing the trombone, it is my job to help you achieve them. If you don't have clear objectives yet, I will be guiding you and exploring the possibilities of trombone playing with you. Also, especially for kids, I can help you find a nice pBone. They are lightweight plastic trombones made with great quality and available in different colours!

Good technique, and a lot of fun
The most important lesson I have learned in my career is that making good music is only possible when you enjoy the process. Of course, good technical skills are crucial but studying exercises that you find boring is not the best way up to proficiency. Instead, finding your unique best approach to improve your skills will get you to the moon! For improving your tempo awareness, would you practice with a metronome or would you rather use a drumbeat sample?

Your health is important! Body awareness and breathing techniques
Not only wind players benefit from doing sport, acquiring good posture habits, and being aware of their breath. It helps everyone in every single aspect of their lives. A good breathing technique will let you play easily, run for a longer period of time, or sleep better at night. On the other hand, body posture awareness helps with productivity and saves money on the fysio. Life hacks that you cannot miss!

Improvisation and open-mindedness
That very feeling of creating art on the spot. Only a few experiences can relate to it. When we explore and create, our flow state gets triggered. We are fully immersed in the activity and the world surrounding us vanishes. If you like, we will go on a journey discovering new emotions, colours, sounds, harmonies, textures, styles, genres. And improvising on them. Let's get creative!

Technology in music. Recording and producing
Let's face it, we are in the 21st century and the possibilities of technology are endless in the audiovisual field. Recording for auditions, producing and releasing your first single, live looping, use of effects... You can learn all that with me. Are you curious? Book your lesson now!
Ok but, how will my lessons look like?
Breathing practice is one of the best ways to start warming up. It will take the first 5 minutes of your lesson and your body will be prepared to start playing.
Then, we would go into working on your specific goals. Perhaps, we are practicing music that demands improvement on the higher register, maybe we are working out different scales for improvisation, or it might be the case that you want to discover a new genre and go deep into it. Reading music, ear training, phrasing, music theory, buzzing and embouchure position, articulations (legato, staccato, accents), dynamics... These are only an indication of what we might work on.
The final minutes of your lesson will be the moment to relax. We can get creative, play some tunes together, improvise, or even talk about a specific topic like musicality, art, creativity, technique, theory, or the music industry for instance.

Group lessons and ensembles
Making music alone is fun, but playing with people brings it to the next level! If you like the idea, I will bring you together with other fellow students for technique workshops, jam sessions, duo with piano, or whatever other activity we might find interesting for you.

When and where
I offer flexibility in my schedule so your trombone lessons fit into your agenda. I can come to your place, or perhaps you prefer visiting my teaching room in Utrecht. I will have some coffee or tea waiting for you.

Online trombone classes
Online has become a new trend. I will help you set up your equipment and focus on what is important, music. Book a lesson now!

Alberto, the eclectic brass player based in Utrecht
I am a brass performer and teacher that has performed in classical and modern music ensembles for more than 15 years. During this time, I attended innumerable masterclasses and had great fun in various professional experiences such as performing at Tomorrowland, an avant-garde music festival in Malta, or the great symphonic masterpieces with symphonic orchestras in Spain and the Netherlands.
I hold a bachelor's and a master's degree in music performance and a master's degree in music education during my official studies in Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Nowadays, you can still find me teaching brass in the Utrecht area, composing and producing my own music at home, playing tuba with a symphonic orchestra, trombone in a reggae band, or improvising trumpet over a techno track.

My goal as a music teacher is to make the students able to experience all types of emotions by playing music, understanding the musical process from its roots with a creative approach. My lessons are designed according to the specific needs of each student and the main objective is to guide them in the optimal direction to achieve their full potential in a fun way. Thereby, the instrument becomes a tool to understand what making music really means and will be a way for the student to express his emotions. My approach to the lessons can provide a lot of creativity, fun and originality.

How will my lessons look like
From the first lesson, the student will start making music. We will begin learning the basic concepts of music, developing listening and rhythmic skills with fun exercises. Lessons will also be focused on learning the basics of music theory, creating a solid technical base and paying special attention to having a relaxed and healthy body posture. My academic and professional experience has helped me create a teaching method where improvisation is an essential tool for the student. I enjoy working on it from the beginning since it is a perfect way to develop musicality.

Playing different music genres together
As a musician, another of my sources of inspiration is to get to know and to learn from different styles, playing and experimenting with music from the classical period until the most avant-garde style. During the lessons, we will play pop, jazz, classical and many other styles. I would like to explore the instrument with the student in a fun way, growing, improving, and discovering new ways of making music together. During the lessons the students and I could play together, either playing some duos with the cello or accompanying them with the piano, which is an activity that I really enjoy. Playing together with more people and with a polyphonic instrument from the beginning will give the student clues to learn how to play in ensembles and listen to all the different voices that can be part of any musical composition.

Hallo allemaal!

I have been working for 12 years as a piano and music teacher (I started very very young, when I was 14 years old, because I always liked teaching): I have experience in private lessons and official state music schools, with children from 2 years and adults of all levels, both teaching individually and in groups. I have taught piano, music and movement for children, music theory, solfeggio and choir.

I finished my bachelor studies with the highest marks, I have experience as a concert performer and have won prizes in competitions and several scholarships prizes.

I hope to have the pleasure that we both learn by making music together, do not hesitate to contact me!

The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject.

Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

The piano lessons I offer are tailored to the level, personality, and needs of my students. I can teach a wide variety of styles and have over 10 years of teaching experience, working in official music education centers. I hold degrees in piano and primary education. I am currently studying voice, so I can also offer introductory classes in this discipline, as well as music theory, harmony, analysis, and ear training. Thanks to my experience teaching Suzuki piano and music and movement, I can start with children as young as 3-4 years old, and I am also experienced in these methodologies.

Over the past ten years, I have specialized in classical violin performance, training in Spain and abroad through courses and masterclasses with professors from Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Rooted in the Galamian school of violin technique, my teaching approach is individual and flexible, adapting to each student’s needs and goals.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students of all ages — from young beginners to adult learners — and at different technical levels, always focusing on a balance between instrumental technique and musical understanding.
I believe that learning music and mastering an instrument is a long-term journey. That’s why my teaching philosophy emphasizes enjoying the process, building a strong foundation, and developing a genuine connection with both the violin and music itself.
