I study at Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa, I am in the second year of degree and I do not have a TUBA. I intend with this campaign to acquire monetary support for the completion of my studies and for the continuation of my career.

My name is Miguel Canada, I'm 20 years old and I'm from Madeira, but I'm currently studying at the Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa and I'm in the second year of my degree in the performer instrumentalist variant.

I started my musical studies in the Banda Municipal de Machico in 2008, and the tuba was not my first instrument but the clarinet, then the trombone and finally the tuba. In spite of my passing through the learning of both the clarinet and the trombone, it was the tuba that most aroused my curiosity being to this day the instrument that accompanies me and with which I design my life. I'm halfway through my degree and unfortunately I do not have an instrument of my own.

I have had the happiness throughout my academic progress, to be able to count on the help of both teachers and schools, and have been able to evolve as a musician through instruments provided by both. Thanks to these awards, I recently won first place at the Prémio Jovens Músicos 2017  in the category of Tuba Superior Solo Instrumentalist.

Most of the people outside the musical medium may have no idea of ​​the costs that a musical life brings, especially when we speak of musical instruments, and this is the reason for this campaign, raising funds that will enable me to purchase a tuba.

Unfortunately, I can not afford these costs, so I ask for your help because without this instrument I can not continue my studies and my humble career.

Budget and due dates

Normally a tuba, like many other instruments, is a high-value instrument. Sometimes the price of a new instrument of professional level, can reach and even surpass the 8000 €.

Budget:

  • € 4569.50 - (Tuba)
  • € 430.50 - (5% + VAT) + Commission (2% + VAT) collection of PPL fees

Total: 5000 €

Given that I have been in this situation for some time now, the help of this campaign is crucial in order to be able to acquire an instrument as soon as possible.
