Learn Portuguese with a native speaker from Lisboa, Portugal :)

59.99 C$ /h

Olá! (Hello!)
So, you would like to learn Portuguese ...
Are you going to Portugal on vacation? Or maybe you have to work there? Do you want to find out more about Portuguese language and culture and other Portuguese speaking countries? Perhaps you are actually just curious and motivated to learn a new language?
Welcome to my lessons.
In a speaking focused way, you will be able to start from scratch and learn vocabulary, grammar rules and how to express yourself in Portuguese.
The main goal is that you can start saying your first words already from the first lesson. The more you try and talk, the easier it will get for you to learn new vocabulary and for people to understand you.

Give it a try! :)

Brain studies repeatedly show how important it is to keep learning. In playing piano you increase your concentration, you use your fine motor skills, you learn the language music and you make something beautiful!
Music feeds the soul and you are never too young or too old to start. Practice you do at home, in your own environment. Every lesson I would like to inspire you to get further, in a relaxed atmosphere and at your own pace. With over 30 years of experience, I have enough material to challenge you, but you can always come up with your own ideas.

Learning a musical instrument is a truly enriching experience that nurtures creativity and self-expression. I am a qualified music teacher, choir conductor, and pianist with extensive experience in teaching both practical and theoretical aspects of music.

In my music theory classes, students are guided to prepare for ABRSM or equivalent examinations. With a solid theoretical foundation, we place a strong emphasis on piano performance. I firmly believe that music has the power to transform lives and unlock boundless creative potential across all areas of life.

In addition to classical music training, I offer support in improvisation and can help you learn to play your favorite tunes, symphonies, or songs. I also occasionally conduct children’s choirs, which help instill valuable life skills and discipline in young learners.

If you're looking for assistance in conducting a choir for a special event—be it a church service, school function, or any other occasion—I’d be delighted to help.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

In addition to Piano lessons, Popschool Groovability now also offers Keyboard lessons!
Be surprised by the unknown possibilities of the Keyboard. Young or old, playing the keyboard is fun!
Together with your teacher you learn to play songs, make your own compositions and / or guide yourself.
Where you are the pianist today, you can be the accordionist tomorrow, the drummer the day after tomorrow and maybe the entire wind section in a band next week! This is possible with a keyboard! in fact, you can even imitate an entire orchestra or band by yourself! Do you want to know how you can learn all this?
