Educational and cultural activities
Itiberê is known in Brazil for being the transmitter and teacher of Universal Music. It was he who extracted from the rehearsals of Hermeto Pascoal's group the main musical teachings transmitted orally by the master. With his long experience, he forged his own musical language and innovative teaching methods.

Pedagogue and Conductor
Itiberê developed a didactic methodology of real-time composition. Step by step, he elaborates a musical theme in the presence of musicians who participate in the entire creative process. The transmission is oral, stimulating active listening, concentration and memory of students. Its approach allows for the formation of heterogeneous groups and encourages the spirit of collaboration between musicians of different levels.
For Itiberê, it is in the light of intuition that beauty is found and that music resides. He insists on this aspect in his teaching, encouraging his students to get rid of theoretical prejudices in order to free their listening. For him, above all, music is the art of listening.

Universal Music Workshop
For over twenty years, Itiberê has been leading universal music workshops in Brazil and worldwide (Argentina, Switzerland, Colombia, Japan, Finland, United States at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, France at the CNSM Conservatory in Paris, EDIM , Sons d'Hiver, etc.).
The first workshops led to the formation of the original Family Orchestra in 1999, made up of the most talented students. These workshops are a school in their own right and unite a community of musicians from which some of the new talents of Brazilian instrumental music emerged.
