A native of Brazil, he is fluent in Portuguese and English, speaks Italian, and has coached many students in singing diction in English, Italian, French, German, and Portuguese. He possesses a Masters degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Wyoming, and has worked as a vocal director/Adjunct Professor at the University Dulcina de Moraes in Brazil. His 17 years of teaching experience has included private lessons both at home and in several studios and music conservatories, as well as group lessons and master classes with students of all levels, from beginners to established professionals. Working in these varied environments was fundamental for the development of his teaching method. Each student is unique, and different approaches are needed to help different voices.

His own professional performance experience in Europe, Brazil, and the U.S. in a great variety of shows, from plays to musical theater to classical opera, allowed him to work with countless professionals in the fields of theater, vocal and instrumental music, and dance, where he gained invaluable knowledge and experience that he hopes to pass on to his students as well. - MEGHAN DAWSON Meghan Dawson is a dedicated voice teacher and professional singer with years of experience both performing and teaching vocal technique in several different styles, namely opera, broadway, pop, and rock.

Where do I start?? He's patient, he's beyond knowledgeable, he's simply everything I could ask from a vocal coach. From the very first lesson he taught me things that I never even considered before when it came to singing. He really teaches you the absolute bare minimum of what you need to learn, but in a common sense, easy to understand way. It's been three months with him and I'm already making great progress. How do I know this? Because he also gives compliments where compliments are due. Easy 5/5

I would give Leandro a 6/5 if I could! I have been taking voice lessons with him for a few months now and to say they have been phenomenal would be an understatement. I have really felt and heard my voice evolve over this time and so have my friends and family. Leandro really puts the needs and wants of the student first and teaches musical techniques in an easy to understand manner. He is really flexible with the songs we work with and is fun to talk to! Working with him has given me confidence in my voice I never knew I had. I highly, highly recommend him for your voice and musical journey!

Working with Leandro has been simply amazing ! I came to him almost a year ago seeking a vocal coach who could help me develop my voice. He’s extremely patience, fun to work with, knowledgeable and truly cares about his students! Compared to a year ago I have noticed a big change in my voice. If you’re looking for a vocal coach who can truly improve your singing I strongly recommend Leandro !

I have been taking lessons with Leondro for several months now and I have nothing but good things to say. I could hear my voice improving even after the first lesson. He not only helps with my voice, but he helps me understand music conceptually. I have always been nervous about singing in front of people, but he immediately put me at ease and my confidence grows each lesson. Leondro is truly a great teacher.

A first class instructor with a big heart. Leandro really becomes your music partner and his experience in the industry is accomplished and extensive. As a singer who hasn't had lessons in decades, he met me at my level and every lesson, I feel my voice getting stronger and stronger. Thanks, Leandro!
