About Lucas
Welcome to my Superprof page!
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your skills, I’m here to help with fun, personalized lessons that meet your musical goals. I teach both online and in person across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
I’m Lucas Cypriano — a Brazilian composer, classically trained pianist, and accordionist with over a decade of experience teaching students of all ages and levels. My teaching covers Jazz, Classical, Brazilian music, Pop/R&B, as well as Music Theory and Composition/Songwriting.
I’ve studied at respected institutions including the Berklee College of Music (Boston), the CIGAM Institute (Rio), and The City College of New York - from where I have my Masters in Jazz studies. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of performing in historic jazz clubs and concert halls across the U.S. and Brazil — including Nublu (NYC), Bottle Bar (Rio), Minton's Playhouse (NYC), Teatro Itália (São Paulo), and Annapolis Symphony Hall (MD).
Let’s make music joyful, meaningful, and uniquely yours. Classes available in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Feel free to message me with any questions — I look forward to hearing from you!

Lucas is a very talented and knowledgeable musician. But more importantly, he is a great teacher. He knows how to guide, is patient, and very good at explaining music. It is a gift to take classes from Lucas. I feel like my playing has gotten exponentially better in an effortless way. Couldn’t recommend him more.
Lucas is a wonderful teacher ! He is very kind and patient
Lucas is a talented and experienced music teacher and virtuosic on the accordion and piano, among other instruments. He is highly skilled in supporting and playing with musicians of many levels and in many styles of music. He has a gift for meeting students where they are and bringing out their best while also helping them find a sense of calm and focus in their practice. If you want to learn to jam along with other musicians, Lucas can also help you learn to listen well and improvise with a group. He is a true artist and it’s a gift to learn from him!
Lucas is such a patient teacher, I’m really grateful I connected with him! He always knows when to challenge me and when to help me break down what I’m struggling with. Also, he’s a great teacher because he gives me the freedom to choose what I’ll work on and then adapts it to my skill level. I highly recommend working with him!
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Lucas through the international jazz scene, where our paths crossed both as performers and educators. From the very beginning, his musicality, warmth, and professionalism stood out to me — both on stage and off.
Lucas is the kind of Superprof who combines deep technical mastery with a generous, student-centered approach. He’s not only a phenomenal jazz pianist and interpreter of Brazilian music, but also a rare and gifted accordionist — a true specialist in his field. His lessons are insightful, inspiring, and always tailored to the individual needs and goals of his students.
I highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking to study jazz piano, Brazilian music, or accordion at any level. His international experience, coupled with his kind and patient teaching style, makes him an ideal guide for both beginners and advanced players. Learning from someone of his caliber is truly a unique opportunity.
I’ve seen Lucas perform several times in New York, and his talent on the accordion—especially Brazilian jazz—is extraordinary. His live shows are as inspiring as his lessons!
Lucas blends musical technique with artistic intuition in a way that’s both empowering and accessible. He nurtures creativity while building solid skills, and always creates a positive space to learn.
Lucas has a wealth of musical knowledge and knows how to explain it in a relatable, practical way. His enthusiasm for music is contagious and really brings lessons to life.
With deep knowledge of piano, accordion, and theory, Lucas structures his lessons with a methodical yet creative approach. Learning with him has made me appreciate the beauty of the process as much as the result. Highly recommended for all skill levels.
Lucas is a thoughtful and knowledgeable teacher. He explains things patiently and thoroughly, and always takes time to make sure I understand. A truly great guide for learning music.
