the professors who most influenced me were Eric Rosenblith, Roman Totenberg, Peter Zazofsky, and Paulo Bosisio. They all have not only helped me in shaping my musicianship but also enabled me with the necessary tools so I could be a teacher of my own.
My primary goal in teaching is to inspire students to become self-motivated artists, who will foster a desire in learning, performing, and teaching. I believe in a flexible manner of instruction, responsive to the student’s personality and state of mind—every student, regardless of their backgrounds, can improve at different degrees their artistry. My goal is to enhance the student’s ability to analyze, discuss, and understand their musical output— in short, offering tools in order to help the student to become a thinker and not merely a player.
In my achievements in my carreer, there are the prizes such as the gold and silver stars at the Music & Star Awards for my latest album “Brazil x Argentina”, the silver medal at the Global Music Awards, and the solo debuts at Carnegie Hall in New York and at Teatro Studio-Parco della Musica in Rome, Italy. And of course, my students achievements.
Mt favoiurite performers are Heifetz, Oistrakh, and Gitlis.
If I had to choose a humanitarian project to sustain would be to provide music education for the underprivileged cultures. Promoting that is a possible way of contributing for a more equal society—in short, that is the purpose of my art. “
