I give one-on-one private violin lessons for students of different levels. During the lessons students will be instructed to develop all the skills to play the violin. In addition to technical work that includes right and left hand technique and posture, music theory and musicianship will be taught. 
The lessons are designed primarily using the Suzuki Method. In addition to this method, other teaching materials can be added, such as Sevcik School of Technique Op. 1-8, exercises for position changes, Galamian scales books, and others. 
The student can also learn his or her favorite music. Together we can create a study program in which you will build and improve your technique and at the same time have fun playing fun music. 
Besides that, I will provide daily practice tips and tricks to help the student learn faster and have a more productive practice.

Master's Degree in Music from Duquesne University

Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from São Paulo State University

I am an experienced and passionate violin teacher with a strong academic background. I hold a Master's degree in Violin Performance from Duquesne University, where I studied with Professor Charles Stegeman. Recently, I was accepted into doctoral programs at four universities with full scholarships.

As a certified Suzuki teacher with over 6 years of experience, I create personalized study plans for students of all levels. My approach focuses on tailored instruction to meet each student's unique needs and goals. 

In addition to teaching, I have performed with professional orchestras such as the New World Symphony, Pittsburgh Opera, Erie Symphony Orchestra, and others. 

My dedication is to helping students reach their full potential and achieve their goals, whether that's mastering a challenging piece, improving their technique, or simply finding joy in playing music. I strongly believe that every child has the potential to learn and excel in music, and I am committed to creating a supportive and nurturing environment that allows them to grow and thrive.
