Joao - Your piano teacher

Hello My name is Joao and I have over a decade of experience performing and giving music lessons. Besides my master's degrees in architecture and a piano course on the conservatory, I am also a self taught bass player. Currently I also play keyboard and bass on a Toronto based band. Let's go on the amazing journey of what is how to learn a new musical instrument together! I welcome students of all ages, from beginner to intermediate level. You're to old to learn!!! Doesn't matter if you have zero experience or if you just wanna learn a couple of songs to play at the next family Christmas party and be the star of the night. We can tailor a specific program just for you!!! I am able to offer piano lessons in two different languages to better adapt to your specific needs. English or Portuguese are the options. I am fluent in both of them. Let's get in touch and schedule your next lesson!
