Classical, Acoustic Guitar and Medieval and Renaissance Lute lessons

I'm a music teacher with a degree in music education from the Universidade Metropolitana de Santos (São Paulo/Brazil), a degree in Classical Guitar from the Conservatório de Tatuí (SP/Brazil) and a specialization in historical instruments from the Escola de Música do Estado de São Paulo (Brazil)
I was music teacher during 3 years at Barueri City Council (São Paulo/Brazil) before I started a master's degree in Renaissance Lute at ESMAE (Porto).
I have some Classical and acoustic guitar students and I also teach music in Porto's Council preschools.

The lessons will be planned according to the student's interests, and I will provide study material with theoretical and practical exercises. The student will have the opportunity to meet know other instruments and different approaches to musical practice and technique, improving the ability to interpret and create music.

My teachers were Antonio Freire (Electric guitar), Márcia Braga and Edson Lopes (Classical guitar) and Guilherme de Camargo (Lute).
I also had masterclasses with Marcus Toscano, Geraldo Ribeiro, Daniel Morais, Guilherme Barroso, Elizabeth Kenny, Gabriel Schebor, Paul O'Dette, Julian Behr, Bor Zuljan, Joachim Held and Hopkinson Smith.

About Me

I started to play music when I was 12 years old, my first teacher was my father that thought to me how to play the eletric guitar. At the 13 I started a music school in my hometown, studying mainly Blues and Rock with Antonio Freire, and two years after I had my first rock band, but 2 years after I was invited to play in a metal band as a lead guitarist. After many concerts I realised that I wanted to study music, so I started to learn the classical guitar and when I was 19 I started the degree on Classical Guitar and two years later I met the Lute, and this instrument brought me to Portugal to study a music book from 1554 that is on the Coimbra's University, the Orphénica Lyra.

In these years I did courses with teachers in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Porto and Coimbra (Portugal), also in Venice, Basel, Bremen, Barcelona and Lugo.

Since these years, I had classes with very good teacher, and I always liked to share my knowledge and learn with my students, constructing the knowledge in every class.

So far, I have had my first Renaissance lute class with Nei Bittar. He seems like an EXCELLENT teacher to me. A very kind and polite teacher with a well-prepared class who has given me a lot of knowledge, a lot of extra material to work on, has answered all my questions and is giving me very good professional advice. I am very happy and grateful.

GUITAR LESSON for ALL LEVELS ✨ taught by a seasoned CONSERVATOIRE PROFESSOR! 🎶
The lessons can be conducted in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸 , or Italian 🇮🇹 , ensuring accessibility for all students. Age and musical preferences are not limitations; with qualitative daily practice, rather than sheer quantity, progress can be swiftly observed. 💪🏼 🎶 My approach to classical guitar lessons is centered on tailoring them to each student's individual needs and potential. I prioritize fostering enthusiasm and motivation as primary tools for conveying technical and theoretical concepts, alongside a deep love for music. Lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels. 🚀 The focus of the course revolves around the joy of playing music. Your favorite genres and pieces will take center stage, with a thorough exploration of their codes and secrets. Together, we'll delve into technical exercises and learn to play pièces of your choice or mine, enriching your repertoire and enhancing your playing style. 🤩 For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻‍🏫 Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥 The theoretical program covers a range of topics, including guitar tuning, chord theory, scales and modes, finger picking techniques, strumming patterns, metronome practice, learning favorite songs, improvisation, harmony, melody, and rhythm theory.⚡️ Together, we'll embark on a musical journey tailored to your goals and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience with the classical guitar.🔝☄️

The trumpet, learn to play it by making music from the first class.
The trumpet: its correct technical execution and the interpretation of popular and academic universal repertoires, is available to everyone regardless of their age. We will build a logical sequence of studies that will help develop the technical aspects. And we will address repertoires according to the age and taste of the student. we will draw a path with short, medium and long term goals. we will build a technical routine and healthy habits to progress correctly. In addition, we will select musical pieces by mutual agreement to mature the technical development hand in hand with musical growth. I am a professional trumpeter, I have participated in symphony orchestras, wind bands, big band, and small chamber and jazz ensembles. I have extensive experience teaching children, youth and adults. For me it is very important to make music from the first lesson, because there must be a balance between technical practice and its application in small melodies or musical pieces. No matter the musical genre, we will always find a repertoire according to the level and interest of each student. If you already know how to play and you need to perfect a piece or prepare a recital or audition, you can count on my experience and accompaniment as well.

Getting to Grips with Music Theory is simpler than you think!
The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages. Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable. Whether you want to understand a particular aspect of music theory or If you struggle with music theory in general, then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?

PLACES : - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
