Hi, I’m Mateus – Guitarist, Composer & Teacher I’m a professional jazz guitarist from Portugal with a strong background in both classical and jazz music. Over the years, I’ve performed at some of Portugal’s biggest jazz festivals such as EDP Cool Jazz, Funchal Jazz Festival, and Caldas da Rainha Jazz Festival, and I’ve also had the honor of winning international prizes, including the Jarek Śmietana Jazz Guitar Competition in Poland. Alongside performing, I have a real passion for teaching guitar. I’ve been giving private lessons, workshops, and masterclasses to students of all levels, helping them build solid technique, develop their creativity, and express themselves through music. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to dive deeper into improvisation, jazz harmony, composition, or repertoire, I adapt my lessons to your goals and pace. Currently, I’m based in Basel, Switzerland, where I’m studying for my Master’s degree in jazz performance at Jazzcampus, working with world-class musicians like Larry Grenadier, Jorge Rossy, Kris Davis, and Wolfgang Muthspiel. Beyond music, I enjoy reading, traveling, and exploring new cultures – things that often inspire my playing and teaching. If you’d like to learn guitar in a way that’s fun, personalized, and musically enriching, I’d be happy to help you on your journey! I have been teaching guitar for several years, working with students of all ages and levels – from complete beginners to advanced musicians preparing for auditions and performances. My teaching experience includes private lessons, workshops, and masterclasses, both in Portugal and abroad. My academic background combines a classical foundation with a strong focus on jazz performance and improvisation. I studied classical guitar at the Conservatory of Santa Comba Dão, later graduating from the Coimbra Conservatory of Music in the professional jazz program, and completing a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Guitar at the Lisbon College of Music. As a teacher, I adapt my lessons to each student’s goals. My methodology combines: Building a solid technical foundation (right- and left-hand coordination, tone, articulation). Developing rhythm, harmony, and improvisation skills through practical exercises. Learning songs and repertoire that connect directly with the student’s interests (jazz, pop, rock, bossa nova, or classical). Encouraging creativity and self-expression, so students not only play but also find their own musical voice. Integrating ear training and theory in a clear and practical way, always linked to the guitar. I believe that music should be both enjoyable and challenging, and I strive to create a positive environment where students feel inspired to practice, explore, and grow as musicians. Why Learn Guitar with Me? Learning guitar is not just about playing notes – it’s about discovering your own voice, building confidence, and enjoying the process of making music. With me, you’ll get personalized lessons tailored to your goals, whether you want to play your favorite songs, dive into jazz improvisation, strengthen your technique, or prepare for music school auditions. What makes studying with me different is the combination of professional stage experience – performing at international jazz festivals and competitions – and a dedication to teaching that puts the student first. I’ll help you develop the skills you need while keeping lessons fun, creative, and motivating. No matter your level, I’ll guide you step by step so you can see real progress and feel the joy of playing music. 🎸 Book your first lesson today and let’s start your musical journey together!
