I have been giving piano and electric keyboard lessons to students from diverse backgrounds, and different age groups at this music school. Piano lessons are tailor made in order to fulfill individual needs, preferences and differences of students. Students also are frequently invited to take part in group piano lessons. I have recently adopted the use of audio and video recordings through whatsApp as additional feedback to my feedback as a teacher. Check the website http://www.faetec.rj.gov.br/

I used to give piano lessons as part of the extra-curricular activities, e.g. Music Service equivalent, to the BS pupils from Infant 1 to 5.
