About
I’m a professional violinist with extensive orchestral and theater experience in the United States and Brazil. I’m skilled in classical, opera, ballet, and musical theater repertoire, and comfortable performing both as a soloist and as part of an ensemble.
I trained for many years at the Fukuda Violin School in São Paulo, Brazil, focusing on performance, technique, and musicianship, and I’ve since performed in major symphony, opera, and musical theater productions.
Whether you’re looking for live violin music for your event or patient, structured violin or music theory lessons, you’ll get a thoughtful, professional approach shaped by decades of experience.
Contact me to discuss your event or learning goals and we’ll tailor something that fits your needs.

We’ve had an outstanding experience with Mr. Cleber Albuquerque as the violin teacher for our 10 and 7-year-olds. His genuine passion for music, warm encouragement, and focus on building a real love for the instrument go beyond simply teaching notes; he fosters a thoughtful daily practice habit.
A standout part of his approach is asking for short video practice clips. He reviews them and sends detailed, clear, and actionable coaching feedback tailored to each child, making home practice purposeful and highly motivating. He always goes the extra mile when he detects momentum or genuine interest, adjusting lessons to match curiosity and pace and turning teachable moments into deeper learning.
If you’re seeking a teacher who combines technical excellence with heartfelt mentorship, Mr. Albuquerque is an excellent choice. We’re grateful to have found him and highly recommend his classes to families aiming for real musical growth and a love of violin. We’re confident we’ve made the right decision for our children’s musical journey.

Absolutely Amazing Violinist!
We hired Cleber to play at my sister-in-law’s baby shower, which was an elegant tea party, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience! His violin music was the perfect addition to our celebration. The music was beautiful, and the volume was just right for a tea party setting. It created such a lovely atmosphere while allowing our guests to comfortably enjoy their conversations.
From the very beginning, Cleber was amazing to work with. When I first reached out, I was so pleased with how quickly he responded. He communicated very well throughout the entire planning process, was punctual, and conducted himself with the utmost professionalism. I also appreciated that he provided a contract for our event, which made everything feel organized and seamless.
We were so happy with his performance, and our guests loved having the beautiful violin music in the background. He truly helped make our celebration even more special. I highly recommend Cleber to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and reliable violinist for their event. He is amazing, and we would absolutely love to work with him again!

We’re so glad we found him! He is pleasant, responsive, and always punctual. He pays close attention to the fundamentals, ensuring students develop proper posture, hand positioning, and concentration from the very beginning. His methodical approach to teaching builds a strong foundation for learning.
My kids truly enjoy his firm yet nurturing teaching style, which keeps them engaged and motivated. We’re excited to watch their skills grow and, most importantly, to see them continue enjoying the violin.

Cleber Albuquerque is an excellent professional. He demonstrates strong command of both violin and music theory, explaining concepts in a clear, structured, and progressive way. His lessons are well organized and adapted to the student’s level and goals, which makes the learning process efficient and motivating. He is also patient, punctual, and truly committed to the student’s technical and musical development. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for serious, high-quality lessons with real musical progress.
