About your teacher
Meet André.
André Ramos de Souza is a classical guitarist from the south of Brazil. He moved to the United States at 16 to study at the Jacobs School of Music, then received a scholarship to study classical guitar at the Eastman School of Music with Nicholas Goluses.
At Eastman his world got bigger. He studied composition, conducting, voice and piano alongside the guitar, and fell in love with teaching.
Music is one of the purest forms of human connection. Sharing that joy with a student can be magical.
André Ramos
Self-taught for most of his life, André did much of his musical growing long before his first lesson, in the hours he spent as a child exploring the piano and the guitar. Those hours taught him how to build a place where learning feels like discovery. That is what he brings to every lesson.
