From creation to realization
Tools to create, leverage ideas and materialize your creations
"A fantastic, profound experience. The workshop manages to enhance the best we have as composers. Rodrigo manages to provoke, to make us spontaneously produce quality material that can be turned into a beautiful song or instrumental theme... The workshop allows us to experiment, feel, produce without criticism and then know how to find in all the material produced something that can be an aesthetic realization.”
(Fabio Madureira, guitarist and composer)
I was surprised, the course is very good, Rodrigo is a very prepared person. I had a prejudice about learning about this subject. I thought: “what do you mean, I have my own way of creating, how do you study this, something that comes from within?” But yes, there is a lot to see and understand that there are many resources that inspire us. The course has a lot of practice of creation, proposes to create in many different ways through exercises that are very exciting.”
(Fernando Gonça, guitarist and composer)
"Finally I'm able to make my first song with harmony, melody and lyrics thanks to the provocations that Rodrigo brings and the exercises he gives us. He doesn't let a moment go by without us being provoked. I'm very grateful for that. Whoever is looking for a path, a direction for their creativity, look for Rodrigo and he will show you the best path”.
(Thiago Lopes, singer)
"I am extremely excited and satisfied with what the course proposal was and what is being delivered. Rodrigo is an extremely generous teacher. Past exercises are very pertinent within the process."
(Frater Goya, guitarist and composer)
