While working at All Nations Music School, I developed a unique project with the student/singer Tamara Carvalho. I had the privilege to teach her piano and vocal lessons. Under my instruction and guidance, she recorded her first album CD called “Força da Promessa.” She was a very talented young woman that had her ministry dedicated to the Lord.

Working at the Philadelphia School of Music & Arts in Danbury, CT, another unique project was done with the student/singer Catia Carneiro Lomar. I had the privilege to teach vocal lessons to Catia for 16 months, and during that time, under my vocal instruction, she recorded her first album CD called “Vitoria.”

Music teacher: Osvaldo Junior

I worked as the music school director for All Nations Music & Arts Center.

I was the coordinator for the I Conference of Worship and Praise – In His Presence – promoted by All Nations Baptist Church in Danbury, CT.

Under my coordination, among the many topics and speakers presented in the conference, we taught the influence of the music into the worship context and how they reflect our way to worship God, that at the end, they express our worldview.

It is known that music communicates love, relaxation, elicits memories, feelings, and taste, among others. As a pianist and music teacher, I wrote a book on How to Play by Chords: Basic Approach – A Practical Concept. Through this book, I intend to provoke in the students their need to communicate their knowledge and skills in playing the piano.

I was the music teacher for my step-son (Richard) and daughter (Hillary). I have been teaching music since an early age. They play several musical instruments such as piano, alto sax, flute, ukulele, and violin. They have participated in recitals and school events around the town.

As a Christian and musician since my early years, I have had the privilege to develop my passion for conducting and directing many choirs and vocal groups.

I developed a flyer announcing our programs. We promoted a few “Family Fun Day” for the community with the idea that fellowship is a community, and the last one was the BBQ & Movie, a family fun event.
