About Me
A passionate musician for over 30 years, I have explored guitar, piano and drums from an early age, developing a versatile playing style and instinctive approach to music.
I have always sung accompanying myself with the guitar and the piano.
Over time, improvisation on the guitar became my favorite playground and the central axis of my compositions.
My musical universe covers a wide spectrum of contemporary music: international song, pop, folk, groove, soul, jazz, rock, reggae, funk, blues and many more.

I have been teaching guitar in music schools for several years and have been giving private lessons for almost twenty years. At the same time, I have played in numerous groups with diverse styles and I compose my own music.

Today, I put my experience at the service of musicians and artists as a teacher, performer, composer and arranger, with both a pedagogical and artistic approach.

It will be a pleasure to share this passion with you.

Philippe

I work with a dynamic attitude, using ease to communicate in public, both live and by phone or virtually, I try to convey the illusion that Music gives me back. With versatility, I seek to establish ways to meet the needs of the student, thus perfecting my goals as a teacher. Delighted to learn and expand horizons with each experience.

In addition to teaching in general, the objective of the classes is personalized, it proposes to strengthen the natural abilities of the student, thus increasing his creative horizon, through a playful and fun system; learning, perfecting and playing.

My goal is to give enough tools to not need me or, in other words, use what I have learned to continue learning ...

I have been playing guitar for years and studying harmony and musical language. I have played in several groups of different styles: pop, rock, blues, jazz, soul, funk. I don't think that a gift is necessary to learn to play an instrument. The important thing is to practice and a teaching that enhances playfulness. You have to have fun with music, it shouldn't be an obligation. Each person has their own goals and their own path and I adapt to that. Eminently practical. Chords, fingerpicking, scales and modes, rhythms, theory and modern harmony, blues, rock, pop, funk, jazz, improvisation, music theory. Technique: fingers, pick, hybrid technique, legato.

I have extensive professional experience on double bass and electric bass. In recent years, my focus has been and remains jazz, where I have participated in many concerts and recordings with my original music group and others, under different leaderships. If jazz is an area of interest for you, I can help you.

I studied at the Braga Jazz School, at the Luiz Villas Boas Jazz School at the Hot Clube de Portugal and at the Lisbon Higher School of Music.

I think that each person has his or her own way of learning, at his or her own pace, according to what motivates him or her in music. I myself had an irregular path, different from the typical musical training, so I see things from a different perspective.
My main instruments are the double bass and the electric bass, but I also play and can teach guitar, music theory, improvisation techniques and composition.
