My son has been taking voice and piano lessons from Matheus for almost 2 years now. Knowing him this long, I can say with certainty that he is one of the finest music teachers in the Bay Area. He sings like an angel and is excited to share his passion for music with his students. My son sees him as a mentor for the amazing possibilities of a career in music. Matheus is incredibly responsive to emails, input, and questions. He always lets me know how my son is doing in his lessons -- as a teenager, I dont get much directly :). Matheus is reliable and consistent. I couldnt ask for anything more!

I started taking lessons with Matheus out of curiosity. My primary art form is dance, and Ive also played the flute for many years, but I always assumed I just couldnt sing. I did a lot of musical theater growing up but never related to the singing and really struggled to hit notes and hold harmonies. And Matheus has amazingly shown me that I can in fact sing! In even just my first lesson I came away with a sense of possibility that I never realized was there. His love for the art and desire to teach is clear, he is very enthusiastic when helping you explore and refine your sound, but he is not overly praising either - his corrections are somatic, precise, and really do help you to get better. I am astonished to find myself now enjoying singing arias from classical Italian repertoire, which not too long ago I would have thought surely impossible. Highly recommend!

Matheus Coura is one of the most motivational vocal coaches I’ve worked with. His dedication to his students in the studio is inspiring. He caters to his individual students’ styles—mine being musical theatre, for instance—while still teaching proper singing technique that every singer should have. We worked on sight reading as well as my musical theatre repertoire. He pushed me every step of the way through our vocal lessons and I could not have been more grateful and humbled to work with such a skilled and hardworking singer and teacher.

Matheus is amazing!!! Super helpful and patient. Beautiful voice! I cannot wait to see what the weeks to come for my daughter and her progress with Matheus! It’s only up from here! If I could give 10 stars I would!

What to say about Matheus? He is the most energetic person I know, always thrilled to jump into a lesson. He loves his work and teaches with on aura of knowledge, correcting your work without coming off as harsh. He is one of the most influential people in my life, as working with him allowed me to perfect my voice and be accepted to elite San Francisco Ruth Asawa School of the Arts. Matheus receives a 11/10! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their vocal skills.

Mr. Matheus was an absolute delight to have! He taught me so much and every lesson I walked out more confident on my singing. He was so accepting of me and I loved every lesson I had with him!

I’ve had lessons with Matheus in middle school. He is the nicest, most fun, voice teacher ever! I got into Ruth Asawa SOTA for classical voice and he helped me with songs and technique. Matheus provides very good advice in singing and he is always prepared and on task. I would definitely recommend Matheus if you need a vocal coach!

I loved having mathues as a vocal teacher! He was lots of fun to learn with, and helped me tons with sight reading. I would absolutely recommend him.

I met Matheus Coura during my senior year of high school when he came as a visiting vocal instructor to assist our drama club leading up to our presentation of Willy Wonka Jr. He clicked with us as students almost instantly, jumping right in and improving our group as a whole in ways that we couldn’t even imagine at the time. For me personally, he sat down with me almost daily as I struggled through my part, slowing down to make certain that I understood before we continued. Matheus explained things to me in a way that was tailored to my particular learning habits and helped me not only in fulfilling my part, but also to lay the foundation of my future. When I got to college, I auditioned and was accepted into the University of West Florida Theatrical Arts department as an actor. My professors did not expect me to be able to sing and moved forward with this expectation in mind. However, when it came time to audition for our spring musical, The Little Mermaid, I had to audition for a role in order to keep my place in the program. To the surprise of my professors, I was able to not only have a piece prepared and practiced, but I was also able to learn a new piece of music and audition with it with only a few minutes of rehearsal, securing a role during my first year in the program. The foundation laid by Matheus when I was still in high school helped to launch me into a role in college alongside those who had been receiving professional instruction from a young age, enabling me to stand beside them as a peer, and I will be forever thankful for him.
