Who we are

👋 Hi there- We are Denis and Cláudia, violinists from Portugal and founders of Studio27.

With a shared passion for music and education, we created Studio27 as a welcoming space for learning, creativity, and collaboration. Our background as professional musicians and performers inspired us to share our knowledge with others.

While Studio27 is open to all ages and levels, our focus is on adult learners who are looking for a creative outlet alongside their studies or work. We believe that music can bring balance, joy, and purpose at any stage of life, and our goal is to provide a supportive space for that.

Studio27 is still taking shape. For now, it’s a space for learning and growing with music, but we see it as more than that - a place for collaboration, new projects, and whatever ideas the future may bring.

Meet the Teachers

Cláudia Carvalho

Hi everyone! I’m Cláudia, a violinist from Portugal based in Tilburg. Music has always been a part of my life, and I love sharing it with others - whether through teaching, playing in ensembles, or creating new projects. At Studio27, I enjoy helping students discover their own musical voice and making music feel like something fun, relaxed and accessible. When I am not teaching or performing, you’ll probably find me enjoying good food with friends or unwinding with a great comedy series.

Denis Dias

Hi! I’m Denis, also a violinist from Portugal. I’ve been playing the violin for many years, and what I enjoy the most is seeing how music can connect people from different backgrounds. Teaching adults is especially rewarding for me, because it’s never too late to start or return to music. In our lessons, I like to keep things relaxed, encouraging, and tailored to each student’s goals. Outside of music, I’m always curious about technology, airplanes, and I enjoy trying different wines and foods.
