About Lucas
ME AND THE ACCORDION
I am a professional accordionist, pianist and educator from Brazil based in Brooklyn with over 10 years of teaching experience. While I am passionate about performing, I deeply love demystifying this incredible instrument for others.
WHERE I LEARNED MUSIC
My musical journey is built on a balance of formal discipline and creative freedom. I hold a Degree in Jazz Performance from The City College Of New York and 28 years of private studies.
However, I believe music lives in the world, not only the classroom. As an active artist in the NYC music scene, I have performed at venues like Nublu, Mynton's and The Jazz Forum. This experience allows me to teach you not just "textbook" music, but the practical skills you need to play with other musicians, handle a live setting, or simply sound great in your living room.
A WORLD OF STYLES
The accordion is a passport to many cultures. My background allows me to navigate comfortably between many genres you want to learn Jazz, Choro, Pop, Musette, Cumbia, Polka, Folk, Forro, Classical, Italian...
MY PROMISE TO YOU
I know that finding the right teacher is a big decision. I promise to bring the same level of dedication to your first lesson as I do to my performances. I am here to be your guide, and will be happy for every step you do on the way.
Let’s pick up the accordion and make some music!

MY TEACHING APPROACH
I believe that learning the accordion should be a structured, rewarding, and completely stress-free experience. My lessons are entirely practical and hands-on. We don't just memorize drills; we learn music by playing the music you actually care about.
Whether you are touching the instrument for the very first time or you are an experienced musician looking to master complex jazz harmony, I break down complex concepts into manageable, logical steps
A PATIENT, JUDGMENT-FREE ENVIRONMENT
Learning a new instrument takes vulnerability. My studio is a calm, focused space where mistakes are welcomed as a natural part of the learning process. I progress entirely at your pace, ensuring you build confidence with every single session.
️ WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
We will design a customized roadmap based on your personal goals and musical tastes. Topics we can cover include:
• The Fundamentals: Proper posture with the instrument, comfortable bellows control, and efficient finger technique to avoid tension.
• The Bass System: Demystifying the Stradella bass system (and/or Free Bass) so you can confidently accompany yourself and others
• Repertoire: The most important part, building a set of your favorite songs across genres like Jazz, French Musette, Brazilian Choro, or Folk.
• Practical Musicianship: Learning to read lead sheets, understanding chords and improvisation.
️ A TYPICAL 60-MINUTE LESSON
Every lesson is balanced to ensure you leave feeling inspired and knowing exactly what to practice next:
• The First 5 Minutes: Mindful warm-ups focusing on physical ease and bellows coordination.
• The Next 40 Minutes: Repertoire study. We break down your current song section-by-section.
• The Last 15 Minutes: Creative application. Applying music theory directly to your playing, exploring improvisation, or setting clear goals for your weekly practice.

Perfect! I'm so glad to have found an amazing accordion teacher. Lucas is not only a brilliant accordionist and musician but also an excellent instructor.

We are also having some fun with it. Lucas is amiable, patient and always encouraging in his feedback.

The lessons with Lucas are of very high quality.
Perfect! Can tell Lucas is an experienced tutor. Catered terminology, constructive advice on form and dynamics, as well as friendly encouragement are just some of the traits that tells me he's a good tutor.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Lucas through the international jazz scene, where our paths crossed both as performers and educators. From the very beginning, his musicality, warmth, and professionalism stood out to me — both on stage and off.
Lucas is the kind of Superprof who combines deep technical mastery with a generous, student-centered approach. He’s not only a phenomenal jazz pianist and interpreter of Brazilian music, but also a rare and gifted accordionist — a true specialist in his field. His lessons are insightful, inspiring, and always tailored to the individual needs and goals of his students.
I highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking to study jazz piano, Brazilian music, or accordion at any level. His international experience, coupled with his kind and patient teaching style, makes him an ideal guide for both beginners and advanced players. Learning from someone of his caliber is truly a unique opportunity.
I’ve seen Lucas perform several times in New York, and his talent on the accordion—especially Brazilian jazz—is extraordinary. His live shows are as inspiring as his lessons!
Lucas blends musical technique with artistic intuition in a way that’s both empowering and accessible. He nurtures creativity while building solid skills, and always creates a positive space to learn.
Lucas has a wealth of musical knowledge and knows how to explain it in a relatable, practical way. His enthusiasm for music is contagious and really brings lessons to life.
With deep knowledge of piano, accordion, and theory, Lucas structures his lessons with a methodical yet creative approach. Learning with him has made me appreciate the beauty of the process as much as the result. Highly recommended for all skill levels.
