Experience in Music Teaching

I completed my secondary education at the Academy of Music of Santa Cecília, in Lisbon, in 2008. I continued my studies with a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz and Modern Music at the Universidade Lusíada de Lisboa, where I was awarded a merit scholarship every semester and received the Ministry of Education’s Merit Award in 2013.

My ongoing training led me to the very prestigious Berklee College of Music, where I completed courses in:

• Contemporary Composition Techniques (2019)

• Music Production (2023)

• Orchestration (2024)

• Music Composition for Film and TV (2025)

This most recent course enhanced my ability to create original music tailored to visual storytelling and cinematic emotion. It allows me to compose for short films, documentaries, trailers, and television content, adapting the music to the specific narrative and emotional contour of each project.

Experience in Music Teaching

Since 2010, I have been dedicated to teaching piano, musical expression, music education, and music theory. I work with children as young as 4 years old, teenagers, and adults, tailoring lessons to each student’s needs and goals.

I have extensive experience preparing students for exams at the Conservatory of Lisbon and the Academy of Music of Santa Cecília, as well as for Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) exams. My students consistently achieve Merit and Distinction classifications in their evaluations.

Professional Career as a Pianist and Composer

As a pianist and composer, I have performed in a variety of projects, including pop/rock music, jazz, and world music. I have also collaborated as an accompanist in chamber music and performed as a soloist.

In 2023, I released my first album of original compositions, titled “Inquietude”, showcasing my passion for creating emotional and innovative music.
