This class offers a comprehensive musical education designed to help students of all ages and skill levels unlock their musical potential. The teaching categories include beginner-level piano, ukulele, and violin playing, as well as music theory and composition for students from beginner to advanced levels. Our aim is to build a solid musical foundation while fostering creativity and a deeper understanding of music. In addition to instrumental skills, students will learn how to read and write musical notation, understand harmonic structures, and create their own compositions.

For students interested in language acquisition, I also offer Portuguese and English language instruction tailored for non-native speakers. These classes focus on speaking, listening, reading, and writing, helping students to build confidence and fluency. Whether you're looking to learn a new language from scratch or improve your existing skills, my approach integrates language learning with cultural insights, ensuring a well-rounded and engaging educational experience.
