For all students we will begin with building the centerpiece of any musician, their tone. We will work on necessary fundamentals to build the students embouchure, as well develop the students technique and skills no matter the level. My saying is to be better than your yesterday. We will use many varieties of books, etudes, exerts, concert pieces, and methods, to ensure each student is being brought to a better level than they started. Read More

Love to be nice to people! Care for my students as persons and not as numbers. Have always some suggestions as far as repertoire goes. Im a welcoming teacher! Always have an ace under my sleeve as to how to approach certain repertoire and/or pieces. I am always open to suggestions by students as far as repertoire and technique goes, I consider myself a student, I might be more advanced than my students, but I am also a student and someone else happens to be my teacher, therefore I will always encourage good feedback from anyone.

My name is Riclebio S. I am a music teacher and a cello performer with an extensive experience in classical and praising worship music. Back in Brazil I attended the Federal University of Paraiba where I got my undergraduate degree with concentration in Music Education and Cello Performance. In 2016 I was awarded a scholarship from the Nicholls State University and studied cello and chamber music. Later, in 2021, I graduated with a masters degree in music from Louisiana State University and started my happy journey as a music teacher at Sacred Heart of Jesus School. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My methods vary according to the students interests and development. But I also have a guideline of references. For the beginners, I like to use Faber Faber, Boris Berlin's Four Stars, and some Alfred's piano methods. As we go to intermediate, I focus mostly on repertoire, sight reading, harmonization and, if the student likes, some improvisation. The books vary according to the student. For advanced players, the focus is in the repertoire, so probably we will be using performance editions for the repertoire, with preference for the Urtext (original text) ones. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, when I was offered a teaching position as a piano instructor in an academy of music. I have consistently taught the piano for 15 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points which help students -especially younger ones- to progress and develop a passion for the piano. My students are encouraged to enter competition and recitals so they can stay focused and motivated to learn. Read More
