About Ariê
I’ve been playing guitar for over 16 years and teaching music for many of them.
For more than 8 years, my work has also been connected to medicine music and devotional songs, learning directly from communities and elders — always with respect, ethics, and discipline.
My teaching style is practical, intuitive, and fully personalized.
I pay close attention to each student’s hands, rhythm, posture, and goals, offering the right exercise at the right moment.
Lessons are held in Tulum or online.
How lessons work
50–60 minute sessions
Each lesson lasts 50 minutes, which allows focus, clarity, and effective learning.
If we’re in a good flow and energy is there, sessions may extend to 60 minutes.
In-person or online
Lessons are available in Tulum (Yura Tulum or a combined location)
and online via Zoom or WhatsApp video — wherever you feel most comfortable.
Limited spots
I work with a small number of students to keep the process personal and consistent.
This means I only accept students who are truly committed to learning.

Lesson Policies
Commitment & Packages
Lesson packages are offered at a discounted rate because they are based on commitment. When students choose a package, they are reserving dedicated time in my teaching schedule. For this reason, packages are designed for students who are committed to continuing their learning process over several weeks.
Scheduling
Lessons are normally scheduled at a fixed weekly time to create rhythm and consistency in the learning process. This also allows me to organize my teaching calendar and maintain a limited number of students.
Rescheduling
Students may reschedule a lesson with at least 24 hours notice.
Each package includes one reschedule allowance. Additional schedule changes may not always be possible, as they affect the structure of my weekly teaching schedule.
Cancellations
Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may be counted as a completed lesson.
Refund Policy
Lesson packages are non-refundable once they begin, as they reserve time in my teaching schedule and are offered at a discounted rate.
However:
• Remaining lessons may be rescheduled when possible
• Packages may be transferred to another student
• In rare circumstances, partial refunds may be considered at the teacher’s discretion
Lesson Duration
Lessons are designed to last 50 minutes. This duration supports focus and effective learning, as students typically experience mental fatigue after this period. When appropriate, sessions may extend up to 60 minutes if the student wishes to continue.
Student Commitment
Because I work with a limited number of students each month, I prioritize working with people who are genuinely committed to learning and developing their musical practice.
