Ms Selom Defor

Since 2011, I have been dedicatedly fulfilling the role of a Music Teacher, specialising in Music Theory, singing, and guitar instruction. My journey as a teacher started at University of Brasilia - UnB, where my academic focus revolved around popular music, with a particular emphasis on vocal performance. Concurrently, I delved into the studies of History of Music spanning from the late 19th century to the first half of the 21st century.During my academic studies, I had the opportunity to engage with both state and private educational institutions in Brasilia. Within these settings, I concentrated on musicalisation in early childhood. As a singer, I participated in and founded cultural projects that left a significant imprint both locally and nationally. These projects brought me into direct collaboration with esteemed figures of Brazilian popular music, an experience that has profoundly shaped my artistic trajectory and motivated me to be an eternal apprentice of music. I have been teaching at The British School of Brasilia since 2020. In my free time I like to have a jam session playing with friends. I love to sing, play the guitar and investigate everything related to Brazilian guitar history and African electric guitar - books, movies, workshops, documentaries and albuns. In addition to being with friends, I love being with my family and pets. I also love to travel and try the local dishes.
