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.

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.

Guitar workshops: personalized lessons / private training
Folk or classical acoustic guitar. The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation. For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...). For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...). Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. THE TEACHER : Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords. 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.
