Piano lessons at a glance
My teaching approach blends expressive musicality, empathy, and technique to offer personalized and engaging piano lessons. I integrate music theory progressively, tailored to each student's level, whether they are kids, beginners, intermediates, or advanced adults. By utilizing tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual piano apps, I create a dynamic learning environment both online and offline. Students benefit from a curriculum that covers a wide range of piano styles from classical to jazz, using chord & scale reference apps and ear training software. With a focus on practical activities and theory, I aim to nurture a deep understanding of music within the students' cultural context and interests, fostering a sustainable passion for learning. My goal is to help students develop technical skills, creativity, and a unique musical voice, preparing them for performances and potential professional careers in music.

A neighbor recommended González Salamanca in Twin Lakes so we decided to give her lessons a try for our twins. One prefers classical music the other is into pop and Ezra does a great job keeping both of them engaged and motivated. Now the sound of her upright piano is the highlight of our home.
