In our sessions we can approach everything, starting on the instrument, the music we're playing, questioning our technique and how to get better and questioning ourselves and how to be better. Sound and Live Performance are also things we can improve upon.
If you're a begginer or you're already playing Eruption while sleeping, there's always new things to learn. Be curious.

I want to teach and to learn with you. Send me a message.
Wish you the best,

About Me

I am a musician, teacher, composer, and multi-instrumentalist from Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal. I began piano lessons at the age of 8 as a form of therapy, and since then music has played many roles in my life.
As a solo artist, I compose for hybrid ensembles, electroacoustic music, soundtracks, and songs, while also developing skills in programming and sound design.
From minimalism to expressionism, from pop to metal, from silence to the densest sound masses, my mission is to learn, to teach, and to create music without barriers
