About Me

Described as “one of the most technically gifted and expressive guitarists in Scotland.” (Innes
White), Miguel’s music is tied in with a deep understanding and curiosity of the
Traditional Scottish music landscape. Originally from the Portuguese Midlands and
now based in Glasgow, Miguel has developed a broad style which swiftly shifts
between accompanist and soloist, embodying edges of classical, jazz, and contemporary
music. With the eagerness to push and dare, the ebb and flow between styles and
techniques Miguel displays make him “A new and genuinely unique voice in contemporary
Scottish trad. You really haven’t heard this before.” Martin Green (Lau). Recently, Miguel
was a finalist at the prestigious BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of
the Year 2025 competition.
He is a founding member of the up-and-coming project the Capstan Quartet welding
old and new melodies of the Scottish tradition with contemporary aesthetics. He also
plays extensively with pianist Amy Laurenson in both duo and with her quartet. He
has also collaborated with North American Fiddle and Cello duo Jocelyn Petit and
Ellen Gira, Edinburgh based Singer songwriter Eve Simpson, and Glasgow based
band Tern.

I am a classical singer who developed many artistic skills and I am ready to share them with you!
Classical technique can be the basis for any type of vocal genre. My goal is to find an individual key to each student and provide a personal approach to every type of voice.
The plan will vary depending on different levels of student, but mainly will be focused on discovering your true voice, vocal warm-ups, practice patterns, interpretation and character of the piece, language coaching, physical engagement of a singer.

Language coaching:

Due to my cultural exposure, I had an opportunity to learn multiple languages and I am fluent in Portuguese, English, French, Italian and Spanish besides native Ukrainian and Russian.

Do you find learning guitar, alto or tenor sax or ukulele confusing?

Hello! My name is Leo and I am a professional musician based up in Glasgow. I have played music all my life hailing from a Jazz family upbringing, and now I am at the stage where I get to play amazing shows and enjoy all the beautiful parts of music. This has inspired me to become a teacher, which I started over a year ago now. I want to share the amazing parts of music with as many people as possible and I find teaching is a great way to do this. Everyone learns in a different ways, so I strive to personalise lessons to your specific needs and goals. I remember myself going through all the lessons and private tutors and sometimes finding it almost making things harder or putting me off, but I keep an open mind and relate to the reality and the core purpose of music, which is to connect with people and the world and allow yourself to be you.

I was a piano teacher and a primary school music teacher for more than 20 years.
I was conductor in the school choir and folk song ensemble.

I love to teach kids. I always teach in a funny way. I hope to encourage kids to love music, but I encourage my pupils to achieve extra miles and high standard.
My mother language is Cantonese as I came from Hong Kong.
