Há uns anos consegui marcar com o Urbano em Benfica e foi das melhores coisas que fiz pela recuperação. Doeu a valer, mas as dores musculares desapareceram. Desde então não encontrei nada parecido.

Estou a tentar perceber onde a malta aqui faz massagem desportiva de verdade: deep tissue, trabalho miofascial, pontos de gatilho, seja o que for. Mas que não seja só festinhas e óleos essenciais.

Fisioterapia clínica também entra, se trabalhar mesmo os tecidos moles.

Alguém recomenda alguém específico (pessoa ou sítio)? Lisboa.

Hi everyone,

To give some context, I'm a musician with a degree in jazz guitar and currently enrolled in a master's program. I've run my own music school, focused on pop/rock, for 13 years. I've had some pop/rock projects, but nothing mainstream or very big... but I make a living from gigs, weddings, lessons, and event organization.

Currently, I've been thinking about starting to write my own original music, something I haven't done in a while. I've a new piece written for big band and I kinda would like to do that with a modern or fusion approach..

I'm not sure what genre I want to pursue, what artist or art form I want to showcase... I also have some doubts about how I should manage my career, even as a teacher and school owner. Has anyone else faced these dilemmas?

What kind of exercises do they suggest for musical growth? I've thought about leaving Portugal and going to another European country to gain experience... but I'm unsure where to begin.

I've been thinking about asking professionals I admire to let me intern with them, in order to understand what I enjoy most and to learn...

Thoughts?

Cześć Warsaw!

I’m a guitar player from Lisbon with a jazz degree and years of experience running a rock school in Portugal. I’m thinking of organizing a guitar workshop in Warsaw during August aimed at beginners and intermediate players. Before I go further, I’d love your local insight:

Is this a good idea? Would there be interest in a short, intensive workshop for those levels?

Which schools or music spaces should I contact for renting a room, co‑organizing, or getting the word out?

Gigs & venues: while in Warsaw (I’d stay ~2‑3 weeks total), I’d like to play. Any recommendations for bars, concert halls, or jam sessions open to a jazz‑influenced rock guitarist? Small clubs, friendly pubs, anything.

Exchanges: I’d eventually love to set up student exchanges: bring my students from Lisbon to Warsaw, and host Warsaw students in Lisbon. Any schools that might be open to that?

I’m looking for new experiences, collaboration, and to be genuinely useful to the local music community. Thanks for any tips... even critical ones.

Dzięki!

Hi everyone,

I’m a jazz guitarist with a music degree, and I’ve been seriously considering moving to Berlin to invest in and develop my career as a musician. I’ve visited the city a couple of times and really connected with the atmosphere, music scene, and overall creative environment.

I’d love to hear from musicians or anyone who has gone through a similar experience.

How realistic is it to make a living in Berlin as a jazz/pop musician nowadays?

Is it relatively easy to find paid gigs?

How competitive is the scene?

Is there demand for private students/music teachers?

I’m also interested in exploring related work opportunities to support myself while building my career, such as:

working in recording studios,

event/music production companies,

live sound,

or other music industry jobs.

I’d also appreciate advice on what I should focus on to actually grow as a musician in Berlin:

networking,

jam sessions,

social media/content,

collaborations,

teaching,

original music,

etc.

For context, I’m coming from Portugal and I’m trying to understand whether Berlin is still a good city for musicians trying to build a career, especially in jazz and contemporary music.

Any honest advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
