Why did you become a guitar teacher?
In general, I like to share things with my friends. Moreover, I like to do, share things. I also teach music with great passion, so I always learn new things again. Because I have to solve it before I can explain it to someone else.
Sometimes, when I had my own bottleneck that I couldn't break through, it often helped me to teach students, allowing me to play it better myself. I also went down many "wrong" roads myself, which took me unnecessarily more time. For that reason, I've always thought that if I could have let someone else tell me this, life would be much easier.
Describe yourself as a musician.
I am a jazz guitarist. After so many years of playing music and practicing instruments, I started to realize how important it is to be able to play what I can actually hear. It was years ago, I always sang what I played. But I didn't know I couldn't play what I sang. I started to notice that when I had no instruments with me, I couldn't sing music in my head. I had nothing in mind; I couldn't even talk about changes after learning jazz for 4-5 years. That's why I started to change my priorities to put singing first. In the end, it had changed my life and my game, making most of the problems I had resolve themselves.
And more importantly, I started to appreciate more of what I played when I listened to my recordings, which I never could have done. As a result, my first vision of playing music is to be honest in music.In addition, my greatest passion is Brazilian music. Brazilian music and the community have completely changed my life. My biggest influence is Baden Powell.
How has it changed you?
It's just too much to say how this music has changed me. I think in an artistic aspect, and I will say because of that, I started playing with the persona more and more. It may not be easy to apply to jazz standards. But when I play my own compositions, other compositions, or some appropriate songs, I like to try out different things in the songs with the musicians I play with.

In this guitar class, we will focus on building your: Guitar techniques, rhythm, improvisation, music theory, and mentality are all important aspects of making music.
The direction of the lesson depends on each individual. A tailor-made course is what you will find in these lessons.
Quick Learning Method For Beginner by understanding the Drums
As a Brazilian guitar player, I understood how important it is to understand how the percussions work together in Brazilian music, since guitar plays a role of imitating multiple percussions at once.
I translated this method to my general playing and teaching by explaining how the Drums work, and we apply it on the guitar. This is not the only way, but I found it the most efficient way for my beginner student to understand the rhythm and be able to self-taught as well.
For Immediate / Advanced Level
My professions are jazz music and Brazilian music. I will involve practical music theory in the lesson.
And apply the theory in a fun and beautiful way. Not practicing for the sake of practicing, or not applying the theory for the sake of it.
But go deep without losing the beauty of the music.
