About Alex
I am a music graduate and leader of London's newest samba school. I have been a gigging musician in London's Brazilian music scene for 16 years.
I parade as part of Rio Carnaval every year and work side-by-side with some of the biggest names in Rio's carnival scene.
My private students play in community groups and are looking for a teacher who offers musical insight straight from the source.
If you are looking for more, I am the teacher for you.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Alex has been teaching me for 11 years, in group classes and also some individual classes. I went from never having played a drum in my life to playing in samba schools in Carnival in Rio de Janeiro and having the time of my life.
His lessons are well-structured, tailored to me, clear, and most importantly, very, very fun! He is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about sharing this with others.View more recommendations
