Teaching Philosophy
Music holds the remarkable power to transform lives. Whether one becomes a professional musician or not, the study of music enriches the human experience and fosters a heightened sense of sensitivity and appreciation for its beauty. I strongly believe that individuals who engage with music education develop a profound connection with their emotions and become ardent music lovers. The act of studying music enhances one's ability to perceive and appreciate the intricate details within musical compositions. Moreover, music plays a vital role in a child's development. It stimulates creativity, nurtures logical reasoning skills, instills discipline in their daily lives, and fosters concentration. These invaluable qualities cultivated through music education positively impact various aspects of a child's growth. Additionally, music acts as a universal language, breaking down barriers and opening doors to new cultures. Through music, individuals gain exposure to diverse traditions and perspectives, expanding their horizons and cultivating invaluable social skills. In summary, music possesses a transformative quality that goes beyond professional aspirations. It shapes individuals, stimulates creativity, and fosters a deep appreciation for cultural diversity, ultimately enhancing the overall human experience.
Musical Education
I have pursued my education at the Federal University of Goias in Brazil, where I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Piano. My musical journey began at the age of five and continued until I turned twenty-three. Growing up in a musical environment, with my mother being a pianist, I was fortunate to receive valuable guidance and instruction from her. Additionally, I had the privilege of studying under a meticulous and experienced teacher who had obtained her Master's Degree in the United States. Throughout my musical development, I actively participated in performances and took part in holiday programs in my country. In addition to my piano studies, I also took on the role of a piano instructor at two different music schools. Furthermore, I honed my vocal skills and dedicated five years to singing in the university choir, participating in numerous presentations and performances.
Special Skills and Trainings
My first contact with music was at home, always listening to my mother playing the piano, where I started my first studies. In addition to teaching me to play, she also used to play the piano with four hands and liked to play so that I could sing. During the time I studied, I always enjoyed teaching, especially for children. Getting to know the Suzuki method was very important for me, as it added even more knowledge and skills to deal with children. This method works a lot on perception because it has games, repertoires, communicating with students of all ages and their families.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
