Pedro Couto - Take Online Guitar lessons with a professional especialized in Jazz and Brazilian styles

Methodology

I work with every student on an individual level, giving them the tools they need to achieve what they want with the guitar, the student being a hobbyist or a professional/aspiring professional player. Besides that, I also look for the most pratical ways to teach, exploring the repertoire, theory, technique, harmony and reading directly on the guitar!

Background

Hi! I'm offering lessons via zoom/skype with high quality image and sound. I've studied at UDESC (Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina) where I started tutoring college level students in Harmony and music theory and I also went to Berklee College of Music through a scholarship, where I worked as a session musician both for the piano department and the project band. I have been a professional musician since I was 15 years old, doing many gigs, shows, recording sessions.
