About Mara
I started giving private lessons at the age of 18 to students who needed support in their studies, in addition to their classes at the conservatory. Today, I dedicate myself to teaching methodologies aimed at beginners to the violin or viola. However, I am often approached by parents of curious children as well as adults who want to experience their long-held desire to play the violin.

*My path*
Teaching has been part of my life for the past 8 years. I have a master's degree in musical performance from the Utrecht Conservatory in the Netherlands and completed a Master's degree in Teaching from the University of Aveiro, with a final grade point average of 18.
*I, as a teacher*
I am passionate about teaching music, specifically teaching the violin, and I have several years of experience in the field, teaching students from the age of 4 to high school. I am a dedicated and very patient teacher. I believe in the potential of each individual and I try to find strategies that help my students find their best path.
*My approach*
Since the violin is an instrument that is highly dependent on the development of skills, such as auditory comprehension of sound, since it is the individual who has to “make” sound and develop it, simultaneously with physical adaptation, I intend, in my teaching practice, to administer a technique centered on the balance between body and mind. Furthermore, I try to help my students find strategies to overcome the various challenges, thus making them more self-regulated, productive and creative.
*Target audience*
- Children who are starting their musical journey
- Tutoring for students who want support in their individual practice: For example: Supplemental/support classes for violin classes they already attend or preparation for entering a music school.
*Location*
- Baguim do Monte, Rio Tinto
- Carvalhido, Porto

A professora Mara é uma violinista experiente e muito dedicada. Docente numa das mais conceituadas escolas de música do País, alia a performance a um exaustivo trabalho de pesquisa e aplicação de novas abordagens com vista ao sucesso musical e profissional dos seus alunos.
Sem dúvida uma excelente escolha para alunos que necessitam aperfeiçoar questões técnicas e musicais e também para quem procura apenas um conhecimento mais elementar da prática violinística.A Mara é uma professora e violinista de excelência. Muito dedicada aos seus alunos, está constantemente a investir na sua formação para estar sempre a par dos novos desenvolvimentos na área da pedagogia. Para além de tudo isto, é uma pessoa muito acessível e amigável. Recomendo a 100%!
Ótima professora, com muito conhecimento sobre o violino e, sobretudo muito, dedicada e atenta aos seus alunos
Tive a oportunidade de ser aluna da professora Mara Valente durante tempos difíceis tanto para alunos como para professores (aulas online devido à pandemia). Mas embora tenha tido aulas nestas circunstâncias considero que a professora me ajudou a progredir e sempre me incentivou.
A professora Mara consegue explicar com clareza o que deve ser feito para melhorar e incentiva bastante, dando ânimo para continuar a melhorar e a superar as dificuldades.
Gostei muito de trabalhar com a professora Mara. É muito simpática e dedicada. Ajuda-nos a ultrapassar as nossas dificuldades e explica tudo de uma forma muito clara e paciente, de modo a melhorarmos os nossos erros.
Enquanto aluna do Conservatório de Musica do Porto, tal como eu, entendeu as minhas necessidades imediatamente e ajudou me a ultrapassa-las com um método de ensino paciente mas exigente. Ao longo da minha experiência com violino tive três professores distintos e posso afirmar que a professora Mara foi a minha preferida. Ser aluna de alguém tão apaixonada pelo instrumento que toca inspira-nos e incentiva-nos a sermos melhores e a trabalharmos mais arduamente para alcançarmos os nossos objetivos. Recomendo, sem sombra de duvida, enquanto professora, aluna e violinista.
