Guitar lessons with a experienced professor (Portuguese and English)

I’m patient and dynamic, adapting to each student’s needs. I always talk with the student to understand what they want to learn and what their goals are — whether they’re learning as a hobby or aiming for a more professional level. I believe a good teacher should adapt to their student.

About Me

Hello! I’m Gustavo, 20 years old and I come from a family of musicians. I’m about to finish my Jazz Conservatory studies in Setúbal and my life goal is to become a Music Teacher.
I have a wide range of musical influences — I love Classic Rock, Bossa Nova/MPB (a family influence), Jazz (which I grew to love through the conservatory), Indie, and Pop, among others. My taste goes from Classical Music all the way to Rap, depending on the day. As a guitarist, I’m passionate about Blues and Funk.
My biggest influences include artists such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, and John Mayer.
Because of that, I feel comfortable teaching beginner and intermediate students across different musical styles.
Besides my passion for communication, I already have classroom experience — I’m patient, dynamic, and have a flexible schedule.
Come meet me! Just get in touch — I’m excited to start!

My name is João, his professional Classical Guitar with more than 15 years of experience. He has studied guitar performance at the Prince Claus Conservatoire in Holland and in Musical Pedagogy at the University of Aveiro. In addition to classical music, he also has considerable experience in other genres, such as blues, folk and rock. Currently, I am trying to find new students who want to develop as guitarists and help them reach a professional level or try to get started on the guitar. Contact me for more information :)

Creative, committed and persistent are my main characteristics as a teacher, professional with 10 years of experience in musical production, sound engineering and guitar lessons. In 2014 I decided to move to London in order to improve in a more deeper level my sound engineer and mastering technics in LondonAmp – London Academy of Music Production where he completed the Sound Engineering Certificate course.

It is never too late to start or resume learning piano! My teaching experience makes me a witness to this.

Perhaps you came looking for piano lessons because you wish to be able to play some particular pieces, or to develop specific skills. Or maybe you don't know what your goal is yet, but are fond of the sound of the piano and want to dive into this wonderful instrument. Whatever the case, I am looking forward to hearing from you and discussing your next step!

I try as much as possible to tailor the work with each individual student aiming at the goals set and the student's musical tastes. This becomes more the case the higher the student's level of experience. Nevertheless, beginners are also encouraged to suggest music for themselves to learn.

The work on pieces is combined with other important activities designed to develop finger dexterity, hand coordination, rhythmic sense, music reading, playing by ear, etc. The Cortot, Hanon and scale exercises are some of my frequent choices for the technical work.

For young beginners, I defend a no-book approach during the first 2 or 3 months, for three main reasons: it makes learning more fun, it unlocks our creative potential and it allows us to explore the instrument rather confidently and freely. Instead of learning how to read right from the start, students have the opportunity to play games, listen to music, sing, compose, and improvise over backing tracks, developing the core skills necessary for any musical activity later on. After this period, it is then time to introduce them to a method book. The one I recommend the most is Piano Safari.

For teenage and adult beginners, the activities described above are selected and adjusted, and theory concepts may be introduced at an earlier stage. If desired, graded level series such as the RSL Classical or Contemporary Piano, among others, may be opted for.

Please notice that my scheduling may not always be up to date on this website, so the best way to know my availability is sending me a message. Feel free to get in touch for any other questions as well!

Looking forward to meeting you soon,

Rodrigo

Despite various musical influences and styles, he is now mainly devoted to experimental — alternative music and its composition. He already started teaching acoustic and electric guitar, singing, English language and piano during his studies at the pedagogical school. It focuses mainly on building positive relationships with the material and on effective and flexible teaching. He approaches everyone individually according to the requirements of the individual.

ABOUT HOW TO TAKE CLASSES

My methodology is based on the student's interests, adapting to their preferred genres and supporting the student according to their goals, from those who want to be able to play an instrument as a hobby to those who want to train as a professional musician.

It doesn't matter what level you start at! My priority is to create an environment where you feel comfortable, set small challenges to make learning exciting and see your progress through these achievements. We will use a comprehensive approach where we will combine theory with practice from the beginning, so that you are able to understand in depth what you are playing.

My main goal is to share my passion for this art and help my students find and cultivate theirs!

I studied at Leeds Conservatory of Music in the UK. As a professional musician I have played shows with the likes Arooj Aftab (Grammy winner), and renowned British Folk Artists such as Martin Simpson as well as having my own compositions played on the BBC. I have significant experience in Jazz, Folk and Rock Projects. My lessons are good for focusing on performance, creativity, technique and theory. Learn to play all over the whole neck of the guitar, improvise with freedom, and feel effortless movement around the instrument.

Whether you're into electronic music, beats, or songwriting, the focus is on helping you build confidence, finish ideas, and express your musical voice through Ableton.

Understanding music theory and composition is essential for musicians (whether performers or composers) of any genre and level. With this course, I hope to share my 10 years of experience in composition and music theory, as well as a great enjoyment for the field. I aim to exemplify the discussed theory through listening and (if applicable) playing examples, combining the established theories by discussing compositional parameters, making the playing of pieces and composing more accessible and organic.
I aim for a personalized experience within the framework of demand.
