Music is fun, no matter how tedious the learning process may be. With practice and determination, a student will be able to progress and love their instrument even more. Each week we will determine realistic goals for the student. If progress is made, I may come up with something creative ways to reward my students for their work. As long as I inspire and touch the lives of my students, I will feel rewarded as well. Read More

Shortly after moving back to Brazil, worked teaching guitar privately and at 2 different locations of music school Centro Musical Antonio Adolfo, composing/recording jingles and soundtracks for Radio/TV/Film and began playing gigs with local artists. A couple years later, started touring with major artists – many of them Grammy Nominees and/or Grammy Award winners, all over Brazil and South America. In late 2011, moved to New York City and soon began performing and recording with local artists and world renowned musicians in top-notch studios. Read More

I have used many different methods over the years and will supplement any method book to meet the individual needs of the student. My preferred method for young students is the FJH Harris Young Beginner's Guitar Method series. For older students I tend to use either Mel Bay or Hal Leonard methods to teach the fundamentals and then add onto them with whatever suits the student best. For advanced students I prefer the William Leavitt methods from Berklee University Press, which will be a challenge for anyone! Read More

I believe there are universal concepts that every student must learn, but I also want to teach my students in a way that's fun and will encourage them to develop an individual voice. For every concept that I teach to my student, I'll always include a practical musical example that includes said concept so he/she can view it as more than merely just a concept. Read More

For beginning students, I typically start with lessons I have developed to get them on the right track . Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce bass parts that are appropriate for their first performance with other musicians. Ultimately every student is different and has different needs and expectations. With that in mind I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

As a teacher I strive to give my students their best guide to success, knowing that every student has their own individual needs and ambitions. I like to start beginning students on Pearson's Standard of Excellence books and then broadening out to other methods after they get a good grasp of the basic elements of their instrument. More advanced players will be taught aspects of music theory and how to become more of a complete musician rather than just being a good player. Read More
