About Me

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.

I have taught piano, music and movement for children, music theory, solfeggio and choir.

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.

I have studied classical piano for over 10 years and have completed my Royal Conservatory of Music studies in Canada. I have over 3 years of experience teaching singing and piano to young students (as early as age 4) to beginner adults at the City of Toronto Parks and Recreation Programs.

I am a passionate, calm and patient teacher who wants to share my love of music with my fellow students. I am also keen on helping students improve and gain further confidence to perform.

I will be teaching online and when it is suitable I will be able to teach on location.

As a piano teacher, I ensure that you gain a solid technical foundation and learn to read sheet music, but also that you can enjoy making music right from the start. I would love to hear which direction you want to take—classical, pop, jazz—and then we will set course for your goal together.

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.

Hi! I am a classically trained pianist and am graduating from the Utrecht Conservatory this year. My passion for the piano started at a young age: I started taking lessons when I was seven, after convincing my parents to enroll me.

From the age of thirteen, I started assisting my teacher and was already teaching younger students, from children as young as 3 to teenagers. As a result, I have built up extensive experience in teaching various ages and levels.

As a teacher, I am enthusiastic, patient, and have a positive attitude. My lessons are structured, but also fun and motivating, so that students can develop at their own pace while simultaneously enjoying playing.

I offer piano lessons for beginners and intermediate students in a friendly and supportive environment. I studied at the Conservatory of Bologna in Italy, where I focused on classical piano, music theory, rhythm, ear training, chamber music, and solo performance. I have a special passion for Baroque and Classical music, but I am happy to adapt the lessons to each student’s interests and goals. In my lessons, we can work on piano technique, reading music, interpretation, rhythm, ear training, and basic music theory.
