About João
I have a technical background in piano, a degree in music and philosophy and I'm doing my master's degree in music in the Musical Cognition research line at UFPR! I am part of GRUME (music and expertise research group at UFPR) where I carry out my research on practice.
I have played in instrumental music trio formations since I was 14, performing in theaters, restaurants, religious and academic events. I currently play at Duo Aporia and Duo Nobre-Lima, where I explore the aesthetics of Brazilian music with the piano in the context of instrumental music and song. I've been composing since I was a child and released my first CD with compositions of mine in 2019. I started giving lessons in 2014 and piano teaching has become my passion ever since, reflecting on learning the piano, how to practice and how to develop the student's own aesthetic are the most rewarding activities I do in my life.

I have a technical background in piano, a degree in music and philosophy and I'm doing my master's in music in the musical cognition research line!
I'm part of GRUME (music and expertise research group at UFPR).
I've been working with online music classes for a few years and I developed my own approach to make the learning more efficient and more humanized, we use sheet music software to facilitate the learning of rhythms, two cameras so that you can see the piano keys with ease and I am always trying out new pedagogical tools from the field of musical cognition that are proposed in recent scientific literature, in addition to techniques that I help create myself, one that I've been developing and that has become popular with students is the use of summary videos after every class to facilitate the study of the week!
If you have any questions, I can solve them and if you want to see some of feedback from students, I can send you too!
I took classes with some of the greatest pianists in Brazilian popular music today and my research ranged from the musical pedagogy of Jos Wuytack to the development of expertise from the framework of deliberate practice and the General Theory of Expertise by Anders Ericsson. But as I have a background in philosophy, I also like to incorporate concepts from other lines such as the Steinerian cognition of the Waldorf pedagogy.
The class is fully personalized, it adapts to the student both in learning style and content. If you'd like to discuss the theory behind music, learning, or art as a whole, we can do just that. If you prefer to stay only in the practical universe, we can also go that way. I always recommend a balance between the two options, but each student has their own taste! There are students who can't stand sheet music and in these cases I adapt to develop skills from other paths!
The songs we usually play are the songs you like to listen to and want to play. I believe that working with the center of interest is always more productive and more pleasurable, so I try to plan the progression of classes based on what you really want to do!
Any questions, just contact me!

Conheci o João no mestrado, ele é uma pessoa incrível, além de ser um ótimo professor. Super organizado, as aulas são bem direcionadas e ele é super empolgado em diversificar a aula e trazer material lúdico. João sabe muito de improvisação, harmonia e organização sistemática de estudo. Não apenas recomendo, eu SUPER recomendo as aulas com ele.
João é um professor excepcional. Eu o conheço desde a sua infância e já era possível perceber claramente a sua grande sensibilidade estética e humana. O seu domínio das técnicas musicais, dos métodos de ensino e das tecnologias voltadas para os ensino é impressionante. A cada encontro João traz novidades e possibilidades variadas de explorar o meu potencial enquanto aprendiz. Sou muito grato pela possibilidade de tê-lo como meu professor.
João é um professor que além de ter as condições técnicas e tecnológicas para o ensino de piano tem paixão por ensinar, além de ser um super instrumentista e compositor de músicas instrumentais no piano!!
O João é um professor excelente! Paciente, técnico e muito claro na hora de explicar os conceitos. Acredito que seu tempo de experiência dando aulas somados à sua dedicação em buscar sempre o que há de novo em estudos relacionados à prática do piano são a chave pra que ele consiga entregar uma aula tão boa e com resultados tão eficazes. Recomendo de olhos fechados!

As I am Brazilian I'm used used to recieve in Reais, in the past my abroad students from Japan and Canada were also Brazilian and so we never had to worry about conversion of coin, I believe it's fair to charge the same price in Reais before conversion, even though the coin has dropped significantly after the covid pandemic.
