About Me

I'm Ines. A portuguese musician based in Maastricht, the Netherlands, where I'm finishing my Master's Degree in Choral Conducting. Previously I did a bachelor degree in Conducting and Music Theory, and a Master degree in Music Education in the branch of Music Theory and Aural Training, both in Aveiro University, Portugal. Before coming to The Netherlands I taught aural training, choir and orchestra in some Portuguese official music academies. I also worked as a music teacher in many kindergartens and provided a course for kindergarten teachers about creativity based on the interaction of music with other art forms in the day-to-day of pre-school children, called “composing in the classroom”, at Casa da Música, Porto.
In the Netherlands I founded the project SoundBox MusicLab to bring the music to everyone, reaching new communities and teaching new music lovers.
I started my music studies at the age of six, learning violin, aural training, choir, orchestra and, later, vocals and composition at Conservatório de Música Calouste Gulbenkian in Braga, where I continued studying for twelve years. From an early age I proved to be a very creative person eager to share my art with others.

In the lessons, we will be focusing on setting or developing all the required skills for the students to be able to perform independently, understand the musical language, and explore their own sound. Focusing on posture, hand coordination, rhythm, ear training, reading scores, and improvisation. So far my musical exposure in many different genres allows me to create a lesson that is adapted to the specific needs of my students. I have garnered the patience and belief in the idea that anyone can become a part of the music world with the proper amount of attention and guidance.

Hello,

My name is Irina and I have been working as a professional opera singer and a singing teacher for over ten years. I recently moved from London to Maastricht where I live now with my husband and our 5 year old son.

I studied at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and the Royal Academy of Music in London. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Opera, which is the highest qualification level (Level 8) in the UK Qualifications Framework. I performed in many prestigious venues in the UK, including Royal Albert Hall, Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Barbican, and St.Martin-in-the-Fields. I worked with Nelly Miricioiu, Jane Glover, Vladimir Jurowski, Robin Ticciati, Stéphane Denève, and many other renowned coaches and conductors.

I am currently part of the Limburg Education Tour project 'Weltatem', which is a collaboration between Het Geluid Maastricht (Romy Roelofsen and Gable Roelofsen) and Kirsten Schötteldreier.

Alongside my performing career, I also have been teaching singing. I am very passionate about teaching and I believe that music, whether it is listening to a concert, playing the guitar, or singing in the shower, is good for both our mental and physical well-being. It helps us to become more self-confident, find out more about how we can use our whole body as an instrument, to express and channel our feelings, and also to relax. It is never too early or late to start. Whatever your ability, aspiration, and age is, I am happy to explore with you both classical music and musical theatre. If you can learn how to use your voice properly you will be able to sing whatever and however, you want!

For children, I do not only teach singing but also beginners piano and basic music theory. It is very important to introduce music to the little ones from a very early age. And there are so many fun ways to learn. We discover and become little musicians through games, songs, dancing, movement, and acting.

Finally, I can offer Russian language coaching for both amateur and professional singers. Before pursuing my dream of becoming an opera singer, I graduated with a Master’s degree in Linguistics and Translation from Voronezh State University in my home city. As a result, throughout my singing and teaching career, I have also been asked to work as a Russian language coach and repertoire coach on many occasions.

I normally teach at my home and also online.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

Do you make music at home, but always wanted to record a song for fun?

If you are learning how to play it, I have the gear to help you create and record a song, so you can share it with your friends and family, or just have it for yourself.
I can play a lot of instruments and create tracks to accompany you. You can write a song or make a recording of you playing something you are working on. Depending on your level and experience with music, it would be a great way to learn some music theory too.

I am Julia, a professional musician originally from Montreal, Canada. I have lived in the Netherlands for 4 years and have a Master's degree in Music. I compose, engineer, and perform music. I also love to teach, I have experience with ages 9 to 90. I want to get the song in your head out into the air.

Music theory is a tool how to open the door to the next level musical skills on your instrument.

I can teach basic and advance music theory mostly based on jazz, blues and pop music, and explain how theory and practical knowledge of music walk hand in hand.

Hello! I’m Eleni, a singer from Greece with nearly seven years of experience teaching music. Whether you're a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or more experienced wanting to refine your skills, all lessons are tailored to each student's needs and goals, with the aim of building confidence and authenticity in their singing and/or develop a strong foundation on musical knowledge.

For the singing lessons, we'll be covering breathing and vocal technique, interpretation along with expression and, depending on your goals, the approach we will have can be either focued on singing or holistic; including music theory, rhythmic skills and basic piano skills.

Lessons are available in various styles, so whatever your musical passion, we can bring it to life together!
And, having a background in jazz music, I can also help you develop your improvisation skills, giving you the freedom to explore and create your own sound!

Music theory, rhythmic lessons and basic piano skills are, of course, also offered as separate courses. So if you have no idea on how to read music or you are feeling clumsy when it comes to rhythm or piano, there's no problem! We can work on this together from scratch! :)

My lessons are offered to every age and level, in my experience as a private music school teacher I could teach to children and adults starting out and students preparing conservatory entrance exam.
My intent is to create a playful and flowing environment to reach the relax of body and mind during the lesson, the first things that you need when you approach the instrument.
The lessons are 1 hour long.
I don't speak Dutch so the lessons can be in English.

I hold a BA in Jazz Piano from Conservatorium Maastricht, where I also completed the Advanced Teaching Skills elective.

My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals — whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced player looking to explore jazz, improvisation, or pop music. I focus on helping students build a solid foundation while keeping lessons fun and creative. You’ll learn technique, rhythm, and expression through real songs and improvisation, so you can enjoy playing music you love. The first lesson is a relaxed introduction — we’ll get to know your goals and musical taste, and I’ll design a personal plan for you.

Saxophone lessons:

Mathias' lessons are for both beginners and advanced students. The lessons are based on the student's desire to learn and be inspired, and it is important for him to be able to help develop and stimulate this desire.

Selected focus points in the lessons are:
- Sound and equality
Focus on uniform quality throughout the register and feeling that you have control and decide for yourself over the instrument.

- Ear training
Particularly the ability to perceive, retain and reproduce musical structures. This is trained with Mathias through simple and effective principles.

In Mathias' lessons, you are provided with various exercises that strengthen embouchure, breathing technique and your understanding of harmony and improvisation.

He places great emphasis on the fact that the student is not in an exam, but in a work process, and that the student's wishes and motivation are at the center.

Especially for beginners
For the first lesson, Mathias provides a saxophone. Write a non-binding message to Mathias if you are interested or have any questions.

About Mathias:
He is very passionate about creating music in all sorts of settings and about playing and teaching saxophone 🎷 He finished his studies at Conservatorium Maastricht last year.
