Initially, I enrolled in Matheus' lessons purely out of curiosity. I have a deep passion for dancing, and I have been playing the flute for a significant period. However, I had always assumed that singing was not one of my talents. Despite participating in various musical productions throughout my upbringing, I struggled to hit the correct notes and maintain harmonies. Matheus changed my perspective entirely and demonstrated that I was capable of singing. Despite only having one lesson, I felt inspired and motivated to develop my skills further. Matheus possesses a profound passion for teaching and a love for the art, which is evident from the outset. He provides enthusiastic support and aids you in refining your sound. However, his corrections are accurate, precise and help you improve your singing ability. It astonishes me that I now enjoy singing arias from classical Italian repertoire, something I had never believed possible before. In conclusion, I highly recommend Matheus to anyone looking to enhance their singing abilities.
