I offer a well rounded approach to learning cello with customized lessons that focus on creating a beautiful tone, healthy technique, music theory, history, sight-reading, and developing collaborative playing skills. Always striving to keep learning fun and engaging, our lessons will progress at an individualized pace. I find great joy in playing cello and hope to share my knowledge and love for music with you!

Miguel Z. has performed throughout the world and has appeared in several renowned festivals and venues.

He is passionate about promoting music to all generations of listeners, as well as bringing it to less-reached communities across the globe.

A dedicated pedagogue, Miguel held teaching positions in Europe, North America, and South America.

He holds a doctorate from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, a master's degree from The International Center for Music at Park University, and a bachelor's degree from the Escola Superior de Artes Aplicadas de Castelo Branco.

Students can look forward to getting acquainted with the cello- from posture and properly handling the instrument, note-reading, and playing their first songs with the bow.

I love playing and teaching the cello, and I'm so excited to share that with you as you learn to play the music you've been hearing in your head. I'll work with you to create a personalized study plan that is engaging, positive, and progress-oriented. My teaching style is as slow as you need, as fast as you can go. Technique should always serve the music, so we'll focus on creating art and telling the story that you want to tell.

Lessons are open to anyone; even if you don’t have a cello yet! I have worked with beginning students learning the basics of reading music, to advanced players & colleagues looking for a careful ear. For learners under 10, I recommend 30-45 minutes. For all other players, there's no time limit; I love to go into details and can work as long as you want! For multiple lessons a week, discount packages are available. Congratulations on taking an amazing first step into learning the cello, and I look forward to meeting you in our first lesson.

I teach using the String Builders books as a foundation and from there we work together to explore our musical possibilities.
