About

A pianist who teaches the way she wishes she'd been taught

I’ve been teaching piano since 2010, to children, adults and students over 60, with students joining from around the world. Each lesson starts from your story, your expectations and your goals: repertoire chosen for where you are, theory that complements practice, and a pace that fits your week.

Questions

What students usually ask

Do I need a piano at home?

To start, a keyboard with 61 keys or more is enough. For online lessons you need the instrument, a camera and a microphone (a phone works).

I've never studied music. Can I learn?

Yes. Lessons start from zero, and reading music comes little by little, together with the pieces you play.

Which time zones do you teach?

Lessons are scheduled in Brazilian time. The calendar shows the free slots in your own time zone.

How long is a lesson?

50 minutes. For young children, 30 minutes at first.

How much are lessons?

It depends on the format and frequency. Book the free trial lesson and we'll talk about it.
