I am a classical musician with over 15 years of professional experience, both in Portugal and abroad. My main instrument is the Transverse Flute, but I also teach: the Piccolo, the Traverso and the Recorder. I am available to teach students of all ages and levels, either at my Music Studio in Queluz or at the student's. I also have a transverse flute for newbie students to try out. As a teacher, the goal of each lesson is for the student to gradually feel more comfortable with their instrument, continually working on the relationship between the two. To achieve this goal, we will work equally on the Technical and Musical components. Greater technical mastery of the instrument will allow students to express and develop their musicality as freely as possible. Each student will have lessons adapted to his needs and objectives, being that the basic premise of my teaching technique is the pleasure of making music. I did my academic studies in the following establishments: - Geneva University of Music (Master in Musical Interpretation) - Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Master in Music) - Lisbon School of Music (License in Music) - School of Music of the National Conservatory in Lisbon

My piano lessons are built around one goal: awakening a genuine desire to explore music, and above all, helping each student develop their own taste for musical expression and the technical tools to master them, both mechanical and mental. Music is a unique challenge that gives us a new way of seeing ourselves, teaching patience, self-belief, and problem-solving along the way. I pair this outlook with solid technical grounding, adapted to any level of experience, and lessons shaped around each student's own musical goals. I regularly bring in musical analysis and theory, which often unlocks the "secrets" hiding inside the pieces we play. As a symphonic conductor and choral singer, I bring a broader, more complete musical perspective into every lesson. I'm also particularly effective with children — I have a strong track record of making music genuinely interesting to them and building real curiosity rather than rote practice. I've been teaching piano for over a decade, working with students from age 2 to 70, amateurs and professionals alike. As a performing musician, I've taken part in international competitions and hold a degree from the University of York. I teach in Portuguese, English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish, and offer lessons at my home, at the student's home, or online — whatever works best for you.

If you love music and want to know more and do more, this is the class. We will use the piano as our main instrument and explore many different styles of music and develop your own skills as a musician. We will have theory topic along side a main piece to work on that will help deepen your understanding of how music works and explores the three big areas of Jazz Pop and Classical. The balance between the two here is flexible if you are already comfortable on the piano. Composition starts as I write set exercises for you that we can work together on and start to piece together the different elements that go into composing music. Should you want to focus on one of these three elements more I am able to shift the balance to make a personalized experience.

Do you have trouble reading music? Do you love listening to music, but don't understand time signatures, keys or chords? Music theory often sounds abstract, but with the right explanation and concrete examples it suddenly becomes a lot more logical, and even fun :) For whom? - Beginner or advanced musicians who want to better understand what they are doing. - Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams). - Independent artists/producers who want to deepen their musical knowledge. - Anyone who is curious about the language behind music. What can you expect? - Clear explanation, at your own pace. - Theory made immediately applicable with examples on the piano. - Extra attention to insight instead of learning dry rules by heart. - Tutoring fully tailored to your level and goal (classical, pop, songwriting, production, ...). About me I obtained a Grade 8 diploma in Music Theory and also a Grade 8 Piano from the Royal Schools of Music. In addition, I hold a diploma in Audio Engineering from Hofa College. I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly. Possible topics: - Learn to read music. - Scales, chords & harmony. - Form and analysis (classical, jazz or pop). - Rhythm, time signatures & tempo. - Music theory for producers/songwriters. - Songwriting. - Preparation for exams or entrance tests. Practical - 1-on-1 lessons, online or live (if you don't live too far away). - I provide materials, or we work with what you need. - No prior knowledge required. Lessons adapted to your level. 🎶 Feel free to send me a message with your questions or goals. We'll see how I can best help you.

At my studio my students will not only learn how to play the piano, but they will receive a complete musical education in order to achieve their musical dreams. I will give all my best so everybody will get the tools for developing their own voice, helping them to master the instrument and teaching them all the theoretical knowledge they’ll need to make their particular personality shine. Openness, joy, dedication, creativity and passion for music are some of the things that you will find in the international environment of my studio. I care about who my students are and what they have to say to the world, and I will help them to develop it from the very first lesson. In my class you will not only be able to receive piano lessons but also will learn to understand how the music works as a language. If the interest and the profile of the student goes in the direction of the purely classical music performance, the lessons will be focused on a deep and conscious piano technique development, practicing techniques, musical interpretation, history of music, history of the piano, applied harmony on the keyboard, analysis, and score reading by a method that I have developed for over 15 years of experience. And if the students wish, I can help them to prepare for the ABRSM exams and competitions as well. All this is aiming to achieve in a very practical and exciting experience the best results in the fastest way possible. But if the profile and the interests of the students goes on another way, I will give them all the tools they need to understand the language of music in depth, so they can find their own voice on the instrument. In that case the lessons will include contents of piano technique, score reading, applied harmony on the keyboard, composition, improvisation, musical arrangement, music production, recording techniques, jazz and pop music analysis and performance. Both programs can be combined depending on the focus and the profile of the student, or in case the student would like to go deeper in one of the previously mentioned subjects there is the opportunity to take an independent course of specialization on the desired topic. At the end of the semester every student will perform at the winter and summer concerts held every year and will have the possibility of making a recording session with the material worked during the term. With this, the student will not only be able to see his progress and work, but also will give him a direct experience of performing and working on a live or studio recording session, which is a fundamental part of the developing process of every musician. Hope you can join and if so, I’ll be very happy to teach you!

The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages. Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable. Whether you want to understand a particular aspect of music theory or If you struggle with music theory in general, then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?
