For beginners  I like to start with the Suzuki Method. But I'm also familiar with other couple methods such as Essential Elements and Essential Techniques for strings book 1-3. In addition to follow a method book, I like to supplement some small pieces from other books as well as incorporate some of the pieces that the student want to learn. Once the student is in the intermediate to advanced level of playing, I like to use the String Basics Book, Carl Flesh Scale Book, Kayser's ,Schradieck, Dont,  Kreutzer's 42 Studies, among others a long with some solo repertoire.

I began teaching in 2009, with private students. The following year, I began working with non-profit organization, for two years, that brought music to at-risk and underprivileged children. After working with them, I began working with the Baton Rouge Arts Council, bringing music and music appreciation to elementary school class rooms for children and schools that did not have a music teacher, on staff.

I am a Brazilian musician born into a musical family who began studying piano at the age of six with my aunt, and the violin in my church. I had a great experience as a violinist and as a violin teacher. Even though I started playing the cello, I always have spent time as a violin teacher and doing courses about violin and viola pedagogy as well. I started studying the cello with great teachers in Brazil, among them: Fabio Presgrave (Juilliard School) Andre Micheletti (Indiana University) and Dennis Parker (Louisiana State University), and have played in several masterclasses with great cellists as Marek Jerie (Guarneri Trio Prague).
