About Joao

I have been teaching music and audio production for many years. This is a hands on personalized experience, tailored to suit your personal needs. Areas covered: harmony, ear training, composition, arranging, singing, piano, guitar, percussion, conducting, digital instruments, audio engineering, record production, mixing, career development, business management. I also run a non-profit, the Internatiinal Brazilian Opera Company, so I get a lot of experie with singers in NY and I have developed a good coaching practice for auditions.

Teaching is the most rewarding professional experience of all the areas that I have worked in the music business. There is true spiritual reward out of putting yourself in the service of the development of another person. i love doing it.

I come from a family if teachers,  so it all came to me very naturally. I was already teaching my class mates in school, and then I realized I had an easy time explaining concepts that were quite complex and helping  musicians find their self-esteem and confidence.

We will start by understanding your goals and establish a strategy to gain the knowledge that is necessary for the path you have ahead. 



 I have worked with children and adults, beginner and advanced students. Everyone is a different person, music is beautiful in that it opens the mind and the soul to new discoveries. 



 Try to find someone that you can connect with at an emotional level, that's probably the most important thing in the relationship between the student and the teacher.

It is important to be exposed to a great variety of styles, as we are all developing into different people every day and a greater vocabulary we agreed give us a greater  Number of options to navigate in our path. So I would not be too concerned with style, but more with a human connection with the teacher. 



Recently I saw Wagner's  Ring cycle, at the Metropolitan Opera NY. It is always a remarkable large scale experience. 



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
 Where do you see yourself growing with your music? Why is it that you decided to pursue the path of learning more about music?
