Gustavo is a passionate and inspiring music teacher. I recommend it!

"Tato" is an excellent musician. As a drummer and percussionist, a reference professional and as a teacher, a very good teacher!!
In percussion classes you learn ethnic rhythms, percussion techniques and participate in ensembles that allow you to evolve very quickly so you can enjoy learning.
For all of us who want to learn percussion as amateurs, that a musician like "Tato" dedicates his time to teaching is lucky!!

Great professional and companion, going with him is going calmly to any event, I love the way he plays and the finesse when it comes to the dynamics in the different songs…

Great professional. Gustavo is a safe bet for your projects, whatever their style, he has musicality and the necessary knowledge to make your band work well. I couldn't recommend it more!

He is a genius, very didactic and is really immersed in the subject of musicality. I have learned a lot in your classes! I take classes with him at a Tap school but I think I could also take classes with him at any Latin or Afro or swing dance school, that is, where music is used to dance. Thanks Tato!!!

I had Tato for the drum recording of several songs and it was a pleasure to work with him. He brought many new elements to the songs and with his touch he gave the percussions the vibe they needed!

They have been fantastic years with Tato, now for unexpected reasons I cannot attend classes, as a teacher a ten, but as a person much more, very cool classes where you learn a lot, recommended
100×100,
I miss you, carnal, and my friends too, we will see each other again, for sure.

Magnificent drummer and percussionist, tremendous professional and great person. Tato is a metronome, a crack, a clock that makes everything run perfectly.

Tato is an excellent teacher, after nine months receiving his classes, I can say that his teachings are loaded with examples that bring the theoretical to the practical in an intuitive and simple way, with a very entertaining and at the same time rigorous ability to maintain the class. at a pace that seems like time passes without you realizing it and you haven't stopped working and learning for the duration of the class.

Tato fills his classes with metaphors to make the difficult seem easy and adapts to the needs of each student with enviable versatility, perceives the atmosphere of the group and knows how to position himself to get the most out of it, adapting the dynamics "in situ" to the situation. energy of every day. Challenging and entertaining classes, full of challenges that are achievable at the moment, some and many others to take under your professional belt and work on them whenever you want.

He generously shares his learning processes and reflections to bring them closer to one and not feel that teacher/student barrier as something unattainable but rather that perseverance and work will lead you to achieve your goals in music. Also having the ability to allow opinions to be heard and give a voice to the student since many times the different perspectives have enriched their classes thanks to having created these spaces for dialogue, without forgetting the future of the session.

In other words, Tato is a “One of a kind” teacher that you will hardly forget because he transmits a very contagious passion for what he teaches.

Thanks Tato

Great musician and professional
I value your classes very much because of your need to want to share your knowledge and your experience with great enthusiasm, and from different perspectives for greater understanding for everyone.
Lots of culture and flavor!!
Thanks, teacher
We continue!

I am very happy that I decided to hire Tato to record drums and other percussion instruments for my album Half Lives. He was very reliable, punctual and full of ideas, and really raised the quality of the songs to a new level. I would not hesitate to hire him again since he is a true professional and also a very good person.

Great professional in the field, not only teaching but also artistic. I commissioned him a musical composition somewhat urgently for a dance project and he put all his percussive, technical and cultural knowledge in favor of this assignment. And he did it with the speed, commitment and rigor that characterize great professionals.

Very good and fun percussion classes. Gustavo knows how to guide you, adapting at all times to the rhythm and level of each one. Highly recommended!

Throughout the course, I have been able to enjoy his classes and learn a lot! He is a true music professional, and of course I will continue for more years! I recommend it to you!! Do not miss it!

I always look forward to taking music classes with Tato. At first, it was something I felt intimidated by because, well, it's a completely different language. However, over time, it became easier as Tato educates you in a way that is easier to understand and follow. I still have a lot to learn and I know I'm in good hands!

For someone who doesn't have any musical training, with the way Tato designs his classes, I still feel like there's a lot I can understand too.

Thank you, Tato, for guiding us to understand a world of tap and rhythm through the eyes and touch of a percussionist. As an educator, I find Tato quite interesting, easy to talk to, dedicated, helpful, and available to answer anything you may be struggling with when it comes to music theory.

Tato teaches the fundamentals of percussion very well. We had a great time in his classes. They are a weekly energy recharge. Thanks Tato!!!

Great person, great co-worker, great musician and fantastic friend. Gustavo "Tato" is a wonderful being with whom we always want to share moments, let's hope that we have many of those moments ahead of us.

I had the pleasure of attending Tato's “Music for (Tap) Dancers” classes at Luthier, and found them fascinating!

It provided a new way of looking at tap dancing, not only as a "dance" but also as a potential musician.

The instructions were always clear and Tato was always patient and encouraging when we were struggling with something.

It was evident that Tato has a lot of experience working with dancers and knows exactly what it takes to take your dancing to the next level.

Good teacher and percussionist, attentive and with great involvement and love in what he does, always grateful to have him as a guide in the world of music. Pure magic!! ✨

Gustavo is a great professional, he always adds and makes the band's work easy, he provides resources to continue loving this profession. From music and friendship it is a pleasure to share your great talent and good work. Thanks Tato!

In the tato classes it adapts to each person's level and gives you confidence and elements so that you can progressively improve your technique and creativity when playing.
Professional, close and cheerful; It is a pleasure to learn percussion and play with him and the other classmates a few hours a week.
Keep going like this!

Tato is a crack! In addition to being an incredible percussionist, he is a great teacher. All of his students are very lucky to have him.

Thank you Tato for your generosity, your patience and your way of teaching that is always full of affection. You don't know how much you have helped me enjoy tap more and more. There is still a way to go but thanks to your classes I have the necessary tools to continue moving forward. See you soon.

The weekend starts early with Tato class on Friday mornings, always one of the highlights of my week.

Tato is not only a talented musician, but also an excellent teacher. I have attended numerous percussion classes and your method is by far the best I have experienced.

His classes are always fun and varied, he has many great techniques to help you learn and remember new skills. As you progress, he continues to push you to improve and challenge yourself, but without allowing things to become too difficult or stressful.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning percussion.

The amount of musical concepts that you acquire in his classes, ideas that you develop with his help and theories that you apply is simply brutal. In terms of teaching and information transfer, it is the best I have received in years.

Fantastic percussion teacher who adapts to all levels of students, whether or not they have musical knowledge, with a lot of patience, good humor and professionalism.
We have been playing batucada rhythms with him for about 11 years and every year we repeat because he gives us a lot of energy and joy! A crack 👌

Tato's methodology adapts perfectly to all levels and the classes are very attractive and well structured.
I really enjoy our class after work on Tuesdays; It's the perfect start to the week.

Tato is an inspiring, understanding and committed teacher. His musical knowledge is extensive and diverse. He is very capable, even when there are different levels in a group class, of offering each student something that suits their level. The classes are varied, there is plenty of room for interaction and you will learn to develop and use your own creativity and musicality. This gives you the opportunity to develop your own style. Drum classes include working on technical skills, rhythm, feeling, and playing the drums along with your favorite music. Percussion classes teach you existing rhythms and how to improvise in a solo, as well as creating rhythms together using different percussion instruments.
Music for tap dancers offers a good combination of theory and practice. You will obtain tools that you can immediately apply in your dance.
Energetic and fun classes, I highly recommend it!

Very good professional, he changed the way my songs were written, very good communication at all times, he accepts ideas and also contributes them, very creative, 100% recommended.

Tato is a great teacher, an incredible musician and a fantastic person. I had the opportunity to take music classes for dancers with him and I highly recommend him. As a singing teacher, I was worried about going back to studying music theory and music theory, which I already studied at the Conservatory, but he managed to give me a lot of new materials to work with and make each class interesting. His relaxed attitude, always with a friendly smile on his face, and his ability to encourage you to explore things you may not feel comfortable with are remarkable.

There are so many things I would love to write, but I can sum them all up in one sentence: take a class with him, then you will be a new dancer/musician/performer!

Great teacher as well as a great professional! I would definitely take your classes again!!🙌🏻
