João's musical adventure is marked by significant collaborations, like for example with the eclectic and soulful band Madrepaz or the renowned Gospel Choir Collective. This experience has imbued him with a unique style of teaching that blends contemporary and classical influences, making his teaching approach both dynamic and versatile. His vaste experience as a session musician was not just a testament to his playing skills but also an opportunity to explore the depths of collaborative musicianship, a quality he enthusiastically brings to his classes. It has also enriched his understanding of rhythm, harmony, and the emotional power of music, elements that are central to his teaching philosophy.
