Review
Pedro Raposo, double bass player academy Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Maaike is a wonderful teacher and an inspiring person! I have been attending her lessons for about 1 year and my general well being improved immensely since then. Thanks to her guidance I also feel closer to reach my full potential while learning and performing as double bass player.
