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.

Vibrato and Vocal Richness
Understanding Musical Notes and Accidentals
Piano App for Pitch Practice
The Tutor and Student worked on vocal technique, focusing on breath support, resonance, and pitch accuracy. They practiced song variations, analyzed different musical arrangements, and refined rhythmic execution with a plan for the student to prepare variations as homework.

Vocal Agility and Melodic Accuracy
Vocal Variation Structure and Progression
The student and tutor focused on vocal warm-up exercises, particularly breath control, sustained sound production, and pitch accuracy. They also began working on a new song, emphasizing its rhythmic and lyrical challenges, and established homework to practice memorizing the melody and rhythm.

The Student and Tutor reviewed vocal techniques, focusing on diction and confidence. They then used a tuner app to practice pitch accuracy on the bass and middle harmony parts of 'Open Arms,' identifying specific notes and correcting deviations. The session concluded with an introduction to basic music theory, covering the staff, clefs, and the concept of sharps and flats, with a plan for a theory quiz in the next lesson.

The Student's homework is to practice these identified variations with the numbering system and record them.

The Student was assigned to practice these techniques and download a 'tuner' app for next week's session.

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.
