Principal II Violino of OSESP (São Paulo Symphony Orchestra). Will be glad to help you win the audition of your dreams. Get ready!
As a kid, I used to listen to my mother teach the violin while I played with my sister. Somehow everything I heard was kept inside and with the age of 14 I started to help my mom with the younger students. Since then I continued my work as a teacher giving lessons for all ages and levels.
I try to see each student as an unique individual. So I have different methods and ways for each one, trying to fit what is best for the pupil at that moment. For children that are beginners I use the Suzuki Method until the 4th book. After that I only give the original concertos and start with the basic violin methods, such as Sevcik, Kayser, Mazas, Kreutzer and so on. For intermediate students I try to clean the technique by starting with Sevcik, trying to have the most relaxed posture and hand form, and only with that they can become advanced students. Then I can create a much more developed lesson, getting to the most profound meaning and sense of music.
At the moment I teach private lessons at home, play as assistant of concert master at the Orquestra Sinfônica Municipal de São Paulo and have chamber music groups such as a piano duo, a tango quartet, Escualo Ensemble (piano, violin, vibraphone and base) and a contemporary music group, Percorso Ensemble. My studies at the Mozarteum Universität in Salzburg had a very rich environment, having one of its main goals the work f chamber music. Having lessons with Rainer Schmidt, I was able to see music as an artistic and sensitive sense of life, more than just playing the violin as a violinist. I think the chamber music added to my violin playing a much more mature view and a greater awareness of what I was doing. For that I can never thank enough!
