Hello there! I'm Lilian, and I'm here to share my love for the oboe with learners of all ages. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, I've got your back.

I believe a good technique is fundamental and can make you enjoy playing music more, and together with that comes development of a person's musicality, I can help you develop both a good technique and a your musicality so that you can achieve a nice musical expression.

To stay organized and cover all the essentials, I like to split the lesson in parts, depending on your skill level of course. In a lesson of one hour we can cover theoretical music skills, breath work, reed exercises, etudes and technical exercises and pieces. We can also play duos together!
Because I have a lot of experience making reeds, I can make and adjust your reeds to your maximal comfort.

Life can get hectic, so I'm all about flexibility. We can find a time during the week that works for both of us, and we'll make sure our lessons fit seamlessly into your schedule. Reach out to me, and we can chat about how long you'd like our sessions to be and tailor a plan that suits you.
Extra information
I teach at Kuma Muziek School in Maastricht, at home or online. Coming to you is also possible.

About Me
I hold a Master's degree in Music performance and I have experience in both performance and education. My expertise lies in teaching beginner and intermediate oboe players. I am truly passionate about guiding aspiring musicians on their journey to becoming proficient in playing the oboe. Whether you are just starting out or have some experience under your belt, I am here to help you develop your skills and reach your musical goals. Together, we can create a tailored learning plan that suits your needs and aspirations.

I believe in empowering my students, giving them the knowledge and skills they need to succeed on their own. Your independence and self-motivation are encouraged, as I believe these are essential qualities for lifelong learning. Additionally, you will be provided with guidance and support to help you track your own progress.

Experience / Qualifications
Captivated by the beautiful sound of the oboe, I started to play it the age of 10 in Cuba, my homeland. There, I was a member of the Orchestra of the Great Theater of Havana, performing with the National Ballet company and the National Opera Company. It was in Cuba where I first discovered my passion for teaching, that will continue in Mexico when in 2014, I moved there to work for the Esperanza Azteca foundation as a music teacher of young talented children. Also in Mexico, I fell in love with chamber music; I created and directed the baroque ensemble "Sine Nomine" with which I performed for 3 years. After completing my bachelor's degree at the University of Guanajuato, I worked as a guest member at the Guanjuato Symphony Orchestra.

In 2020 I moved to Maastricht, in The Netherlands, to study with two great oboe players, Marc Schaeferdiek and Tom Owen. In Maastricht Conservatory, I dedicated myself to honing my performance skills and delved deep into the art of oboe reed making.

At the moment, I am an oboe teacher at KUMA Music School, I run an oboe reed business and I work at the Save a Day project, a company that I co-founded with the mission of enhancing the well-being of patients by integrating the healing power of music into their treatment and care.

Hello! I am an English saxophonist, guitarist, pianist and composer / music theorist, currently based in Maastricht, NL. I've been playing saxophone, guitar and piano for 15 years and after building a life around music and creative expression, it's my passion to share that with anyone eager to learn; at any level. I believe music can bring so much value to our lives, it can excite us and move us, give us a sense of purpose and identity and ultimately enrich us in ways we would never otherwise grow.

Are you a musician already, but you haven’t opened the door to music theory and don’t know where to start? Perhaps you are preparing for upcoming exams, or you simply want to spark your curiosity further with the mechanics of music? At any level, I’m here to teach music theory for jazz and contemporary music.
I want to show my students the connection between music on a theoretical level and their instruments. And how understanding the building blocks of music can lead to new creative avenues through which to express themselves. It can be a struggle to know where to get started both technically and theoretically; understanding your instrument and what you are playing can help to facilitate real musical growth.
As a conservatory student, having followed advanced jazz music theory. I can help at any level to further your knowledge and understanding of music. Theory is such a powerful tool for composition, songwriting and improvisation, let’s learn together in an environment that puts you and your instrument first.
I offer classes from beginner musicians to conservatory / music school entrance exams and everything in between & beyond.
If you are interested, feel free to get in touch!
Looking forward to meeting you!
