Classical, Acoustic Guitar and Medieval and Renaissance Lute lessons

From 24.26 £ /h

I'm a music teacher with a degree in music education from the Universidade Metropolitana de Santos (São Paulo/Brazil), a degree in Classical Guitar from the Conservatório de Tatuí (SP/Brazil) and a specialization in historical instruments from the Escola de Música do Estado de São Paulo (Brazil)
I was music teacher during 3 years at Barueri City Council (São Paulo/Brazil) before I started a master's degree in Renaissance Lute at ESMAE (Porto).
I have some Classical and acoustic guitar students and I also teach music in Porto's Council preschools.

The lessons will be planned according to the student's interests, and I will provide study material with theoretical and practical exercises. The student will have the opportunity to meet know other instruments and different approaches to musical practice and technique, improving the ability to interpret and create music.

My teachers were Antonio Freire (Electric guitar), Márcia Braga and Edson Lopes (Classical guitar) and Guilherme de Camargo (Lute).
I also had masterclasses with Marcus Toscano, Geraldo Ribeiro, Daniel Morais, Guilherme Barroso, Elizabeth Kenny, Gabriel Schebor, Paul O'Dette, Julian Behr, Bor Zuljan, Joachim Held and Hopkinson Smith.

About Me

I started to play music when I was 12 years old, my first teacher was my father that thought to me how to play the eletric guitar. At the 13 I started a music school in my hometown, studying mainly Blues and Rock with Antonio Freire, and two years after I had my first rock band, but 2 years after I was invited to play in a metal band as a lead guitarist. After many concerts I realised that I wanted to study music, so I started to learn the classical guitar and when I was 19 I started the degree on Classical Guitar and two years later I met the Lute, and this instrument brought me to Portugal to study a music book from 1554 that is on the Coimbra's University, the Orphénica Lyra.

In these years I did courses with teachers in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Porto and Coimbra (Portugal), also in Venice, Basel, Bremen, Barcelona and Lugo.

Since these years, I had classes with very good teacher, and I always liked to share my knowledge and learn with my students, constructing the knowledge in every class.

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.

I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Do you have trouble reading music? Do you love listening to music, but don't understand time signatures, keys or chords? Music theory often sounds abstract, but with the right explanation and concrete examples it suddenly becomes a lot more logical, and even fun :)

For whom?
- Beginner or advanced musicians who want to better understand what they are doing.
- Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams).
- Independent artists/producers who want to deepen their musical knowledge.
- Anyone who is curious about the language behind music.

What can you expect?
- Clear explanation, at your own pace.
- Theory made immediately applicable with examples on the piano.
- Extra attention to insight instead of learning dry rules by heart.
- Tutoring fully tailored to your level and goal (classical, pop, songwriting, production, ...).

About me
I obtained a Grade 8 diploma in Music Theory and also a Grade 8 Piano from the Royal Schools of Music. In addition, I hold a diploma in Audio Engineering from Hofa College. I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly.

Possible topics:
- Learn to read music.
- Scales, chords & harmony.
- Form theory and analysis (classical or pop).
- Rhythm, time signatures & tempo.
- Music theory for producers/songwriters.
- Songwriting.
- Preparation for exams or entrance tests.

Practical
- 1-on-1 lessons, online or live (if you don't live too far away).

Have you wanted to learn to play the piano for some time or do you want to teach your child to play the piano? My name is Faye, I've been playing the piano since the age of 6 years and have always been very passionate about music.

I offer lessons for children and adults from beginners to intermediate level. Styles: Pop, world, improv, and classical music. Lessons are a good musical basis for any style you wish to pursue.

My method tries to tailor to the needs of the student so that lessons are engaging structured and follow the natural curiosity and capabilities of the students.
It also focuses a lot on developing the students overall musical abilities such as internalizing sound and rhythm.

Music making is something to be enjoyed and experienced besides the practice that goes into perfecting the art of piano playing. The content of the lessons always aims to reflect this mindset so that a student can become independently fluent and capable not just to imitate and practice but to really experience, understand, feel and enjoy the music throughout their learning experience.

Also:
Ear training
Improvisation
Piano accompaniment
Electronic Keyboards
Music theory (beginners to advanced)

Musicianship training:
Kodály method in combination with applied modern pedagogical methods.
