About Me

Hi!

I’m Vinícius, Brazilian and a Spanish citizen, a Portuguese and guitar teacher, musician, and psychologist based in Madrid. I like to teach in a practical, clear, and friendly way, adapting each lesson to the student’s level, goals, and pace. I’m patient and committed to my students, and I believe that listening carefully is essential to understanding how to best support each person’s learning process.

I believe learning something new is much more effective when you know what you want to use it for. That’s why I like to understand your goals, your previous experience, and what you hope to achieve before we begin. From there, I build a personalized and progressive learning plan that allows you to put what you learn into practice from the start and keep moving forward with confidence.

My lessons are dynamic and fully tailored to each student’s interests and needs. I adapt both the methodology and the content to what you need to work on, while also encouraging you to keep learning and progressing outside the lesson.

In my Portuguese classes, I focus on Brazilian Portuguese, my native language, combining conversation, listening comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar in a practical way. Lessons can be adapted to different goals, whether you are starting from scratch, want to communicate more confidently, are planning a trip to Brazil, need Portuguese for work, or simply want to improve your fluency.

As a musician and guitar teacher, I work with complete beginners as well as students who already play and want to develop further. Lessons combine theory and practice and are adapted to your level and musical interests. We can work on technique, chords, rhythm, harmony, fingerstyle, improvisation, and repertoire. I also like to include your favorite songs whenever possible, making the learning process more engaging while helping you apply what we work on in class. My goal is not simply to teach you songs, but to help you understand the instrument, build confidence, and keep progressing naturally while enjoying the process.

Portuguese lessons are online. Guitar lessons are available both online and in person in Madrid.

The first lesson is free, so we can get to know each other, talk about your goals, and start shaping a learning plan that works for you.

I’ll be happy to support you as you progress, and I hope we get the chance to work together.

See you soon!

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Whether you're picking up the guitar for the first time, returning to playing as an adult, or building on skills you already have, my lessons focus on helping you develop a strong musical foundation, build confidence, and play real songs you enjoy.

Many people begin learning guitar by memorizing a few chords or songs, but understanding how music works makes it much easier to keep progressing. In my lessons, I'll guide you step-by-step, so they develop the skills and knowledge you need to learn new songs independently over time. Through practical, song-based learning, you'll develop essential skills like chords, rhythm, technique, and musical understanding. Each lesson is personalized to your goals, interests, and learning pace.

I'm also passionate about helping families connect through music! I offer family guitar lessons for parents and children, as well as siblings who want to learn guitar together. Whether you're all complete beginners or have different levels of experience, we'll build skills step by step and learn to play guitar together. My goal is to help your family make music a fun, shared experience while growing in confidence and musical ability.

I believe learning music should be both rewarding and enjoyable. I'll meet you where you are, encourage you through challenges, and celebrate your progress in a supportive environment where you feel comfortable learning, experimenting, and making mistakes.

Hello! I am a professional music educator with 16 years of experience dedicated to making music an indispensable part of life rather than just a lesson. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 1,000 students individually, guiding hundreds of them to successfully enter Conservatories and Fine Arts High Schools. 🏆

My philosophy is simple: Music is loved first, then learned. I prioritize building a deep connection between the student and their instrument. Whether you want to master the Piano, Violin, Guitar, or Oud, I offer a holistic approach that combines technical skill, ear training, and rhythm development.

I don’t believe in rote memorization. My teaching system is based on logic and understanding the "mathematics" of music. By simplifying complex music theory and "Makam" knowledge into practical and engaging methods, I ensure my students reach a stage-ready level in as little as one year. 🎼

In my online studio, I provide a high-quality learning experience using multi-camera angles and professional sound setups that rival face-to-face lessons. Whether you are a preschooler, a young aspiring artist, or an adult beginner, I create personalized, goal-oriented roadmaps to help you reach your musical dreams. 🌍

Let’s start this journey together and build a solid foundation that lasts a lifetime

With more than 10 years of professional experience, I’m a musician and educator who believes that learning music should be both challenging and rewarding. Jazz is at the heart of my musical studies and practice, but working across pop, rock, psychedelic, electronic, and reggae has taught me to value the distinctive strengths of every genre. I bring that broad perspective to the projects I create and perform in, and to the way I teach.

I’ve worked with music schools and taught more than 200 private students, from children to seniors. My experience includes students with a wide range of abilities and learning needs, including autistic students and students with Down syndrome. These experiences have deepened my interest in teaching and strengthened my belief in balancing encouragement, empathy, and meaningful challenge.

Each lesson combines hands-on practice with musical theory, shaped around the student’s interests, goals, and musical taste. Depending on what you want to explore, lessons may include:

Music theory and technique
Ear training and performance
Composition and improvisation
Band or project guidance
Effective study methods and repertoire
My aim is to help students feel inspired by both music and the process of learning it. Together, we can build healthy study habits, strengthen creativity, and develop the confidence and discipline to learn independently. Lesson frequency, duration, and format are tailored to each student’s goals.

Whether you’re beginning your musical journey or looking to deepen your skills, lessons offer a supportive space to explore, grow, and make music that feels meaningful to you.

My approach is to help you develop your ears so they become the main instrument for your music journey. That applies to guitar, piano, etc. I teach you to learn theory as map for your musical journey and not as strict rules to follow. I teach you to teach yourself.

Rokas

My teaching style is very flexible and adaptable. First off, I believe each student is special in their own way and that there is no one way of teaching. I try to make my classes fun, not only focusing on the progress but also giving the space for the adventure of listening to different genres or even learning about each band or artist. I also think that every topic can be interesting if portrayed in the right way. It can be equally fun to feel the trembling energy in metal, the flowy feel in jazz, or committing and working hard to learn scales and understand music theory. I believe that if you give the right amount of time and space to analyze any aspect in music that might seem intimidating or scary, you might surprise yourself and learn a lot more than you expected.

Another one of my strengths is giving insight on how to learn different techniques such as fingerstyle, 3-finger fingerstyle, slap, double thumb, playing with a pick, muted playing, and any other technique you can imagine. I can show you not only how to play all those techniques but also how to master the dynamics of each technique, help you choose when to use which one, and how to choose a tone that fits your style of playing.

I also have to mention, having gigged and toured professionally for over five years, I can give you personal insight on what goes on in my head while under pressure on stage, how I got used to stage fright, what gear I and many other musicians use, and a lot of different aspects of being a professional, touring musician.
