Music Teacher and International Flautist with more than 15 years of experience

From 31.24 £ /h

I am a classical musician with over 15 years of professional experience, both in Portugal and abroad.

My main instrument is the Transverse Flute, but I also teach: the Piccolo, the Traverso and the Recorder.

I am available to teach students of all ages and levels, either at my Music Studio in Queluz or at the student's.
I also have a transverse flute for newbie students to try out.

As a teacher, the goal of each lesson is for the student to gradually feel more comfortable with their instrument, continually working on the relationship between the two.

To achieve this goal, we will work equally on the Technical and Musical components. Greater technical mastery of the instrument will allow students to express and develop their musicality as freely as possible.

Each student will have lessons adapted to his needs and objectives, being that the basic premise of my teaching technique is the pleasure of making music.

I did my academic studies in the following establishments:

- Geneva University of Music (Master in Musical Interpretation)
- Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Master in Music)
- Lisbon School of Music (License in Music)
- School of Music of the National Conservatory in Lisbon

About Me

Belonging to a new generation of young classical musicians emerging in Portugal, David has rapidly established his career as an accomplished flutist. From solo recitals, chamber music or as an orchestral musician, his career encompasses a repertoire that spans more than four centuries of music, starting in the Baroque period and continuing to the present day.

At a teaching level, David has more than 10 years of experience as a private teacher and also as a teacher at music schools.

Education

David began his musical studies at the age of six, having entered the National Conservatory Music School at the age of twelve in the class of Professor João Pereira Coutinho. He was later accepted at the Lisbon Superior School of Music, where he completed his degree with Professor Nuno Ivo Cruz. For two consecutive years, David received an academic merit scholarship awarded by the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon.

After completing his undergraduate education in Portugal, he continued his studies in some of the most renowned European music institutions: Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel (Masters in Music) and Haute École de Musique de Genève (Masters in Musical Interpretation). His primary mentors abroad were Carlos Bruneel and Michel Bellavance (Flute), Jerica Pavli and Katlijn Sergeant (Piccolo) and Serge Saitta and Anna Besson (Traverso). During his academic studies he was awarded several national competitions and was supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation with a scholarship for his artistic merit.

Experience / Qualifications

In the orchestral field, David was a member of the Gustav Mahler Jugend Orchester between 2018 and 2020 where he had the opportunity to work under such esteemed conductors as Christian Thielemann, Herbert Blomstedt, Vladimir Jurowski and Alain Altinoglu.
