-Professor Rafael

Masters Degree in Piano Pedagogy

Bachelors Degree in Piano Performance

I am a piano teacher with a specialized Master in Music Education and 19 years of teaching experience, in official music conservatoires, academies and private lessons. I am currently doing my PhD in Musical Sciences: Teaching and Psychology of Music.
I also have a Master in Music: Piano, and a Postgraduation in Music in Childhood: Intervention and Research.

I tailor my lessons to each student, according to their interests, levels, and learning goals.
I love to teach and I have continuously done it privately and in official music schools, with students from beginner to advanced levels, from 3 to about 70 years old.
With my help you can learn from a basic to an advanced level, develop musically and technically, read and interpret any score.

I have also participated in several piano masterclasses with world-renowned pianists and performed as a soloist and as a chamber musician in venues in Portugal, The Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium and the United Kingdom.

At the piano we can learn how to play music you love, how to freely improvise (through a practical use of theoretical knowledge of music) and how to write musical thoughs you may have.
I am Francesca, 31, italian, i had a strong classical training, and after my academic piano studies i needed to open to jazz and songwriting.

My will is to offer a comprehensive and pleasurable approach to music, and to keep the focus on the needs and desires that bring my student close to the piano.

It is never too late to start or resume learning piano! My teaching experience makes me a witness to this.

Perhaps you came looking for piano lessons because you wish to be able to play some particular pieces, or to develop specific skills. Or maybe you don't know what your goal is yet, but are fond of the sound of the piano and want to dive into this wonderful instrument. Whatever the case, I am looking forward to hearing from you and discussing your next step!

I try as much as possible to tailor the work with each individual student aiming at the goals set and the student's musical tastes. This becomes more the case the higher the student's level of experience. Nevertheless, beginners are also encouraged to suggest music for themselves to learn.

The work on pieces is combined with other important activities designed to develop finger dexterity, hand coordination, rhythmic sense, music reading, playing by ear, etc. The Cortot, Hanon and scale exercises are some of my frequent choices for the technical work.

For young beginners, I defend a no-book approach during the first 2 or 3 months, for three main reasons: it makes learning more fun, it unlocks our creative potential and it allows us to explore the instrument rather confidently and freely. Instead of learning how to read right from the start, students have the opportunity to play games, listen to music, sing, compose, and improvise over backing tracks, developing the core skills necessary for any musical activity later on. After this period, it is then time to introduce them to a method book. The one I recommend the most is Piano Safari.

For teenage and adult beginners, the activities described above are selected and adjusted, and theory concepts may be introduced at an earlier stage. If desired, graded level series such as the RSL Classical or Contemporary Piano, among others, may be opted for.

Please notice that my scheduling may not always be up to date on this website, so the best way to know my availability is sending me a message. Feel free to get in touch for any other questions as well!

Looking forward to meeting you soon,

Rodrigo

This class is for anyone who wants to get into piano or for getting their kids into piano. I teach in a relaxed but thorough way to help build skills for the independent student. No previous knowledge is required and we we learn a broad range of musical skills from the more traditional music reading and comprehension to the more modern jazz piano and reading chord symbols. My focus will be creating sustainable learning by creating a personalized and enjoyable plan for each student. Classes are taught in English but also speak moderate Portuguese to help if needed.

Piano lessons, singing, songwriting and composition for all ages and levels. My lessons are adapted to the needs of the students. Jazz, pop, classical, rock... I'm open to all musical styles.

- Musical awakening for the little ones
- Learning music theory
- Learning harmony (chords, scales, singing accompaniment)
- Score reading
- Singing lessons
- Writing lessons (improvisation, composing with scales and chords, mixing words with music, etc.)

Music is something I am passionate about! When I teach, I teach technique, theory, and how to read. Learning to read music is a big part of my lessons. We will work on learning songs as well as scales and theory. My lessons are very tailored to the goals of the individual! We could work on Beethoven one day and a Beatles song the next! It is based on the student's goals.

My lessons focus on awakening in the student a desire to better understand the world of music, and above all - to develop a taste for musical expression, whether it's through the classical school or the improvisation or pop school.

In order to achieve this goal, I take special account of the fact that music is not only a great entry into the world of creativity, but also a unique challenge, which gives us a new vision of ourselves, and teaches us self-love, patience and problem-solving. I combine this with a technical knowledge that can be adapted to students of any level of experience, as well as a willingness to plan lessons according to the student's project. I often add musical analysis and theory to my lessons, which can unlock and clarify many of the "secrets" of what we play. I can teach in Portuguese, English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.

I've been teaching for over a decade, having trained students from the age of 2 to 70- amateurs and professionals. As a musician I have participated in International competitions and graduated from the University of York.

I teach both in my own home and at the student's home, for a fee, and online.

You can learn the Piano at any age.
