On his official blog, Laudares announced his first structured online study group ("grupo de estudos online") focused on mastering all notes across the guitar and ukulele fretboard — a new format beyond his usual one-on-one video-exchange lessons.
Following his annual tradition of written reflections, he shared a professional retrospective noting 2025 was a year of maintaining consistency while balancing a new personal priority — offering a candid look at his creator and teaching business.

Ricardo Laudares is a Brazilian music educator and multi-instrumentalist who operates at the intersection of formal academic training and accessible online instruction. Holding a Master's degree in Music Education, he brings a credentialed, structured approach to YouTube content that covers guitar (violão), ukulele, singing technique, and music theory for Portuguese-speaking learners. His videos range from step-by-step pitch-improvement guides aimed at beginners through to more nuanced practice frameworks for intermediate players, and he supplements the channel with personalized online lessons delivered via video exchange — a direct-to-student model that reflects a teacher-first identity rather than a conventional creator persona. Occasional acoustic covers, including arrangements of songs like 'La Vie en Rose' for ukulele, add warmth and demonstrate his applied musicianship.
Despite a micro-scale audience, Ricardo's engagement rate sits well above category norms, signaling a tight, motivated community of learners who return consistently for instructional content rather than passive entertainment. The channel's gender split is evenly balanced, suggesting broad appeal across adult amateur musicians. With no apparent commercial sponsor footprint, his monetization leans heavily on direct instruction and owned digital products through his personal website. For music education platforms, instrument brands targeting the Brazilian market, or apps focused on ear training and practice tools, his highly engaged, education-minded audience represents an unusually receptive niche — and the channel's instructional depth positions it for steady, compounding growth as demand for Portuguese-language music education online continues to expand.
Ricardolaudares reaches its audience primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations. As a music creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. With no brand deals logged yet, they read as an available, category-aligned partner for advertisers building early presence in the space. Engagement on YouTube runs around 8.1%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. Their YouTube-first format lends itself to integrations that sit inside the creator's usual content rather than running as standalone ads. Because the audience follows music content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For brands in music and related categories, Ricardolaudares offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.

Yes — Ricardo Laudares holds a Master's degree in Music Education, a credential he lists prominently in his channel description. That academic background distinguishes him from self-taught music YouTubers and shapes the structured, step-by-step approach he takes in his tutorials on guitar, ukulele, and singing.
He offers one-on-one lessons conducted by video exchange, meaning students and teacher share recorded videos back and forth rather than meeting live at a fixed time. To get started, you contact him directly at ricardo@ricardolaudares.com.br.
His channel covers all three. He publishes tutorials on violão (Brazilian acoustic guitar) and ukulele arrangements, and he has a dedicated series on how to sing in tune — known in Portuguese as afinação — making the channel a broad but focused music education resource.
He published a tutorial called "Como melhorar sua afinação" that walks learners through seven stages of pitch improvement, from complete beginner to advanced. He also made a companion video showing how to use a smartphone app as a practical ear-training tool alongside those steps.
Yes — he released a video titled "Como treinar mais Violão em 2024" where he explicitly frames the advice as the opposite of what he recommended the year before. That kind of honest self-correction is a recurring signal of his evidence-based, evolving approach to music education.
In that acoustic cover of the A-ha classic, Ricardo plays guitar while using a piano simulator to layer keyboard-style tones — an unconventional technique that shows the instrument's range beyond standard chord strumming. It sits alongside his instructional content as a demonstration of more experimental musicianship.
He arranged the French classic for ukulele and shared it on YouTube, describing it as coming with "um pouquinho de descontração" — a little lightness and humor alongside the musicianship. It reflects his tendency to keep music education approachable and enjoyable rather than overly academic.
His content is in Brazilian Portuguese — his website is listed as available only in Portuguese, and all his video titles and tutorials follow suit. The channel is aimed squarely at Portuguese-speaking learners, though his video-exchange lessons can potentially accommodate students who reach out by email.
Ricardo Laudares is based in Brazil, as indicated by his .com.br domain and email address, his Portuguese-language content, and his use of the word violão — the Brazilian Portuguese term for acoustic guitar. His website at ricardolaudares.com.br serves as his main hub outside YouTube.
His audience engagement runs well above the category average — notably high for a channel of his size, which suggests a loyal and active community rather than a passive viewership. That level of interaction is a strong signal that his teaching content resonates deeply with the people who find it.
