About Alan

Now, let me tell you a bit about myself.

I'm a 40 year-old British/Brazilian citizen. I have been playing the Flute for 28 years, since I was 12 years old.

My career as a teacher also began very early in life at the age of 17 at my father's Music School "Music is Life" in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Later, I continued teaching privately when I moved to the UK after I graduated from my BA (Hons) at the Colchester Institute in Essex.
Today, besides from teaching, I am also Solo Piccolo at the Taubate Symphonic Band and Principal Flute at the Vale Philharmonic Orchestra. Recently, I have also been awarded for best soundtrack for the movie Duda with my composition Loneliness for Solo Flute. Other awards include the Solo and Duet Competition I won during University.

I live with my wife Carol and our beautiful 6 year-old daughter, Maria Flor. I consider myself a very happy and fulfilled person. I find that having something as special as music as a way of living (or even just as a hobby) can be very FULFILLING and THERAPEUTIC. And the very same I can say for teaching.

One of the greatest Flute teachers of all times, the Englishman Trevor Wye, said in his book "Proper Flute Playing":
“the greatest quality a teacher can have is enthusiasm and passion for teaching.”

And that is how I like to path my way as a teacher. PASSIONATE and ENTHUSIASTIC to the art of Music and the Flute, the oldest and most mystical instrument in the history of mankind!

I really hope that this short text has left you with an impression of whom I am and what Music means to me. And that it somehow motivates you on following this journey in your life even if it is with another teacher.

If you choose me, the first lesson I do not charge. It will be a very CONSTRUCTIVE chat about your history and, of course, some good playing to discover NEW MUSICAL POSSIBILITIES to you.

Thank you very much for your time! I do not take it for granted!
Hope to hear from shortly,
In the mean time,
“KEEP ON FLUTING!”

Below, I will leave you with a more formal résumé of myself:

Marcio Cursino is an experienced Flutist, Piccolo Player and Music Teacher.

Now at 40 years old, Marcio divides his time intensely between the career of Professional Instrumentalist and Professor of all levels. Besides being the father of the beautiful 6 year-old Maria Flor!

Coming from a musical family on part of his father and mother, Marcio began his musical studies at the Recorder at the age of 11. At 12 he was already transitioning to the Transversal Flute.
At 17 he was teaching the Transversal Flute and Guitar at his father's school, the so-called "Music and Life". Where he began his extensive experience as a teacher.

In 2000, at São Paulo - Brazil, he graduated from the respected Conservatory "Maestro Fego Carmago" at the Transversal Flute and Saxophone with the legendary professor Jonnas Mansur. In that same year, he traveled as a Flutist representing the Conservatory of Music in exchanging performances in France, for the project "500 ans d'amitié Brésil et France".
From there he traveled straight to England to further his musical studies with Professor Catherine Sign, graduated of the acclaimed Royal College of Music in London.

In 2005, he graduated Bachelor of Music with Honors from the Colchester Institute of Music in Essex - UK, where he won two competitions: Soloist, with a performance of the complex Solo Piece from Varèse - Density 21.5, and Duet Competition with the talented flutist Amy Little .

About the lesson

Hello Flutist!! How are you doing during these pandemic times? Hope you well and safe!!

I am teacher Cursino. Welcome to my Superprof profile!
You can also check about me and book a free lesson on my website:

First of all, I am an specialized and fully dedicated Online Teacher.
I have been teaching online since the very beginning of the covid pandemic.
Since then, I have developed a lot my way of working.
All my lessons are run on Zoom which works amazingly well specially with the original sound resource turned on. Also, to enrich the quality of the audio from my students, I very often use a pair of professional headphones which give me amazing high definition sound and articulation of the student.
I also work on my iPad with the Apple Pencil and using the share screen resource I can demonstrate and draw on music sheets and methods that I am working with the student at that moment.
I simply love it and most of the time it really feels much better than a lesson in person due to all these technological possibilities.
My students and I have a lot of fun, you can count on that!

My METHODOLOGY
I use a methodology that I have developed over the years of practicing and teaching both my students and myself. It’s called: PRIORITY FOCUS.

PRIORITY FOCUS basically is a non-multi tasking way of learning a musical instrument allowing time and space for us to learn and fully conquer one ability at time.
We start at the very basic aspects of posture, fingering and embouchure, and climb our way up to the most detailed techniques and musical expressions. One Flute playing ability at time.

This methodology is constructed on what I consider to be the two main subjects in Music learning and playing, what I call THE PILLARS OF MUSIC:

MUSICALITY AND INSTRUMENTAL TECHNIQUE

Both intermix and coexist in a single dimension, but in terms of studying and progressing, I find that separating them is essential to accelerate and solidify my students’ learning and my own.
MUSICALITY encompasses aspects such as musical phrases, vibrato, dynamics, tone colours, improvisations, music theory, harmony and style: CLASSICAL, JAZZ, FUNK, POP, SAMBA and BOSSA-NOVA, all of which I have KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE.
In INSTRUMENTAL TECHNIQUE, in our case, FLUTE TECHNIQUE, we have elements such as: posture, embouchure, fingering, breathing, articulation, tonguing and music reading.

To work on these aspects with my students I use several distinctive Flute Methods, from the most TRADITIONAL to the most MODERN ones, as well as INNUMEORUS EXERCICES that I have specifically developed for Flute technical improvements from years of experience as a Flutist, Student and Teacher.
I also use many teachings from distinct areas such as Yoga for FOCUS and RELAXATION, Alexander technique for Posture and BALANCE and Philosophical spiritual schools for MOTIVATION.
Let’s also not forget the intense work that’s is done on the REPERTORIE OF THE STUDENT’S TASTE.
I provide all materials from my vast library completely FREE TO MY STUDENTS.

I confess that there is nothing in the world, besides from being with my wife and daughter, that I love more than playing and teaching about Music and the Flute. I am extremely PATIENT, ENTHUSIASTIC, DEDICATED AND CARING TEACHER. MOTIVATION is the key and I GUARANTEE that you’ll leave motivated after each lesson.

Recomendo o Márcio porque já tive a honra e o prazer de dividir o palco com o mesmo. Em uma apresentação inusitada e de total improviso, Márcio mostrou completo domínio dos instrumentos de Sopro que agregou na apresentação, bem como a energia de um verdadeiro artista e professor. A calma e a paciência são virtudes deste gênio, características fundamentais para se lecionar uma disciplina tão complexa como a música. O Márcio com certeza vai agregar muito aos alunos e eu o recomendo com plena confiança.

Há quanto tempo você possui uma paixão pela música, pelo seu instrumento preferido e/ou técnica musical?
Eu sou um apaixonado pela música há 29 anos, desde os 11 anos quando iniciei na Flauta!
Qual música pode pode ouvir no repeat sem se cansar (ou ficar doido) ?
R. Mozart - Piano Concerto No20 em Ré menor
Conte-nos sobre a aula mais difícil ou desafiadora que você já deu !
Isso aconteceu com um aluno recente que tinha muita dificuldade rítmica! Deixamos a Flauta de lado e começamos a bater palmas na aula junto ao metrônomo. Foi desafiador para mas quando ele obteve sucesso a emoção foi contagiante!
Qual, na sua opinião, é o instrumento/técnica vocal mais difícil de tocar/aprender e por quê?
Todos os instrumentos são fáceis e difíceis ao mesmo tempo. Como seres humanos temos uma facilidade muito grande de aprender qualquer tipo de arte e, paralelo a isso nossa vontades e ambições nos trazem desafios. O segredo é ter objetivos concretos definidos e muita perseverança!
O que você considera ser a chave para o sucesso do aprendizado?
Paixão! Quando você se apaixona por algo aquilo começa a fazer parte de você! Depois disso é apenas a questão de achar a pessoa certa que vai lhe direcionar num caminho de planejamento e disciplina.
Cite três artistas que você amaria compartilhar um palco junto !
Mozart, Altamiro Carrilho e Tom Jobim.
Divida conosco uma história engraçada referente à sua profissão !
Quando mais jovem eu tinha o costume de desmontar minha Flauta para limpeza. Numa ocasião com o corpo da Flauta totalmente "nu" sem nenhum chaveamento ou mecanismo e cismei que o corpo estava um pouco torto e decidi de "leve" desentortar no meu JOELHO!! Deu muito errado a Flauta entortou em V e eu fiquei desesperado! Minha sorte foi que os profissionais da Casa Ébano em São Paulo conseguiram trazer ela de volta! Depois disso eu acabei comprando uma Flauta nova e nunca mais desmontei outra! Haha
Qual seu segredo para ser um Superprof com um fã clube de alunos?
Acredito que o sucesso de um grande professor é ser entusiasmado, paciente e se importar com o ser humano que está ali para aceitá-lo com seu guia. É uma profissão muito importante e tento sempre superar essas expectativas e outras com os meus alunos.
