Mariana Bruekers is a Brazilian flutist, singer-songwriter, and music educator with over 20 years of experience as a performer and teacher. She holds a Master’s degree in Music Pedagogy from the Royal Conservatory of The Hague (Netherlands) and a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education and Flute Performance from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Brazil).
Music is Mariana’s primary language, a way of expressing, communicating, and connecting with the world. Teaching is one of her greatest joys, as it allows music to become a shared experience rather than a solitary one. Since 2007, she has been developing and refining her own teaching methodology, always adapting it to the individuality, goals, and background of each student.
Currently, Mariana is traveling across the Americas, offering online lessons while actively engaging with musical cultures throughout South, Central, and North America, continuously enriching her artistic and pedagogical approach.
Virtuosity
Improvisation
Subtle harmonic modulations
Syncopation and counterpoint
This music demands technical precision while remaining deeply expressive and playful — qualities that strongly shape Mariana’s teaching and artistic identity.
With formal training in pedagogy and decades of experience, Mariana has developed a personalised, flexible teaching methodology. Lessons are adapted to each student’s age, level, musicial goals and personal interests.
Rather than following a rigid formula, Mariana focuses on helping students find their own musical voice, using Brazilian music, especially Choro, as both a technical and expressive foundation.
Her experience as a traveling musician, constantly learning from new cultures, brings a unique richness to each lesson.
