Guitar lessons with a experienced professor (Portuguese and English)

Àpd 13 € /h

I teach beginner and intermediate lessons in styles such as Rock, Blues, Pop, Bossa Nova, and Jazz.
I’m patient and dynamic, adapting to each student’s needs. I always talk with the student to understand what they want to learn and what their goals are — whether they’re learning as a hobby or aiming for a more professional level. I believe a good teacher should adapt to their student.
My schedule is flexible (you can keep in touch with me regularly to ask questions, etc).

Présentation

Hello! I’m Gustavo, 20 years old and I come from a family of musicians. I’m about to finish my Jazz Conservatory studies in Setúbal and my life goal is to become a Music Teacher.
I have a wide range of musical influences — I love Classic Rock, Bossa Nova/MPB (a family influence), Jazz (which I grew to love through the conservatory), Indie, and Pop, among others. My taste goes from Classical Music all the way to Rap, depending on the day. As a guitarist, I’m passionate about Blues and Funk.
My biggest influences include artists such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, and John Mayer.
Because of that, I feel comfortable teaching beginner and intermediate students across different musical styles.
Besides my passion for communication, I already have classroom experience — I’m patient, dynamic, and have a flexible schedule.
Come meet me! Just get in touch — I’m excited to start!

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
