About
For the past 25 years, Luciano Correa has been teaching cello, guitar, music theory, composition, and working as a performer, arranger, studio music producer, and soundtrack composer. Luciano holds a Masters in Music Composition from Louisiana State University School of Music, as well as a Post-Baccalaureate in Music Composition for Cinema and TV, and a Bachelor in Cello Performance from the Conservatorio Brasileiro de Musica. He performed as a cellist in the Brazilian National Symphony Orchestra for 18 years, and he was the first Brazilian to perform concerts and workshops in the New Directions Cello Festival, demonstrating the cello as rhythmic and harmonic instrument in musical styles as Maracatú, Baião and Samba Canção.
During his career, Luciano has been playing a wide range of genres in different projects, spanning Bossa Nova, Choro, Brazilian Popular Music, Brazilian jazz, electronic music, tango, free improvisation, free jazz, live soundtrack improvised composition, classical music, opera, music for classical ballet, contemporary dance and performance. He is also a soundtrack composer, having worked in more twenty films as composer, performer, arranger and music producer. Throughout his career, he has always tried to expand his musical horizons through a dialog between different styles, having played with artists as such as Guinga, Jorge Drexler, Danilo Caymmi, Elza Soares, and Rosa Passos, among others.
I believe that students from diverse backgrounds can equally learn the traditional subjects of music study, as music theory, music history, composition, and instrument performance. My aim is broaden the musical universe of the students, by exposing them to styles and genres outside their usual experience. I try to introduce them to the creative process in various forms of art, and as well as to the technology that they can utilize to aid in their process. Additionally to instrument performance, I teach them to record and produce their music using computers, tablets or cell phones. My ultimate goal is to help students to develop an understanding of music as an artistic language accessible to all. To help in this sense, I incorporate class topics such as literature, history, sociology, and pop culture, in order to show their interactions with music study.

For beginning cello students who are children, I typically start with the Suzuki Method. For beginning cello students who are adults, I typically start with the Essential Elements for Strings Method. Once the students start to understand the fundaments of position, intonation and sound production in the instrument, I begin to introduce exercises for mechanism development, studies and repertory.
For beginning guitar students who are children, I typically start with the Suzuki Method. For beginning guitar students who are adults, I typically start with the Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method.
For Brazilian guitar and Bossa Nova lessons, I use the book Brazilian Grooves for Guitar and Brazilian songbooks.
For music technology and production lessons I use The Music Producer's Handbook, The Mixing Engineer's Handbook and the Logic X manual.
For classical music composition lessons I use the books Techniques of the Twentieth Century Composition, and Contemporary Orchestration - A Practical Guide to Instruments, Ensembles, and Musicians. I also teach Sibelius or Finale, according to student's preference.
