For the past 25 years, I have been teaching cello, guitar, music theory, composition, and working as a performer, arranger, studio music producer, and soundtrack composer. I have a Masters in Music Composition by Louisiana State University School of Music, as well as a Post-Baccalaureate in Music Composition for Cinema and TV, and a Bachelor in Cello Performance by the Conservatorio Brasileiro de Musica. I was a cellist in the Brazilian National Symphony Orchestra for 18 years, and I was the first Brazilian to perform concerts and workshops in the New Directions Cello Festival, demonstrating the cello as rhythmic and harmonic instrument in musical styles as Maracatú, Baião and Samba Canção. I believe that students from diverse backgrounds can equally learn the traditional subjects of music study, as music theory, music history, composition, and instrument performance. My aim is broaden the musical universe of the students, by exposing them to styles and genres outside their usual experience. I try to introduce them to the creative process in various forms of art, and as well as to the technology that they can utilize to aid in their process. Additionally to instrument performance, I teach them to record and produce their music using computers, tablets or cell phones. My ultimate goal is to help students to develop an understanding of music as an artistic language accessible to all. To help in this sense, I incorporate class topics such as literature, history, sociology, and pop culture, in order to show their interactions with music study.
