Instruments:
I want all my students to suceed. It is important to me that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realist goals for my students at each lesson. I try to find out what inspires my students, then I can sucesfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.
Instruments:
Through my seven years of teaching piano, I have worked with a variety of students ages 5-75. I emphasize technique and music theory alongside excellent repertoire. The student and I generally choose repertoire together, so that both of us can be excited to work on the pieces together. As a composer, I also encourage my students to create their own music.
Instruments:
My philosophy is to foster student growth and creativity, through the learning of Bel Canto exercises and allowing students to make their own repertoire choices. We release the voice through learning how to release tension and sing with a healthy sound, and then we apply that to the style of repertoire that you have chosen. My number one priority with my students is that they are singing with a healthy and clear tone, and that their voices will be versatile across all singing styles. Improvisation and aural skills are also very important to me, as you will definitely need your ears to become a successful performer!
Instruments:
A full hour lesson usually consists of an instructional course book, a song or two that the student enjoys plus ear training, theory, harmony or else according to the students' needs, interest and the level. Tailoring the lesson for each student and having fun with him/her is the key! Younger students would need more structure with practice guide and be having more synesthetic activities such as sining, tapping, mild dancing and more. For adults, in the first day of the lesson, we discuss the ultimate goal or purpose of learning piano, kinds of music the students love, and previous musical experience. Then, we can design purpose-oriented lessons.
Instruments:
I am an energetic and patient (promise) teacher. I studied Piano at Music Conservatory of Porto (Portugal). I decided to become a composer and moved on to graduate in Music Composition in Lisbon, and to having my music performed in Europe and the United States, by world class orchestras (like Gulbenkian Orchestra and Orchestrutopica), and world class conductors (like Beat Furrer and Christopher Bochmann), but to this day I never stopped studying piano, playing piano, composing for piano and yes, of course, teaching piano. In addition to Music Conservatory of Porto and Escola Superior de Música de Lisbon, I also studied Composition with Dutch composer Klaas de Vries in Hoogeschool voor Muziek en Dans, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Finally, I attended masterclasses with composers Jorge Peixinho, Emmanuel Nunes, Helmut Lachenmann and Philippe Hurel, amongst others.
