Mateus Rangel

I have a music degree from Rio de Janeiro State University and a Music Education degree from Candido Mendes University. I'm a cellist but I can also play and teach other instruments such as Orchestra Strings, piano, guitar, and others.

Over the last twelve years of my teaching experience, I had the opportunity to work with students of different backgrounds. In Brazil, I worked teaching grades from PreK to freshman. I worked as a Strings Instructor at Monroe County Community School Corporation Elementary Strings Program in the 2022-2023 school year. I’m deeply committed to student learning and I have participated in several national and international workshops on pedagogy and music teaching. I love teaching and helping my students improve their abilities (creativity, discipline, music knowledge) through my music classes.

Apart from that, I also have over a decade of experience in performance, playing with orchestras, ensembles, and religious groups. Music is a big part of my life and my favorite classical composer is Dvorak. I really enjoy listening to his 8th Symphony and his cello Concert. Also, my all-time favorite singer is Adele. In my free time, I like to go swimming with my family, play outside with my kids, and cook some delicious Brazilian food.
