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.

Piano concepts taught by Sara
The Student and Tutor worked on fundamental vocal techniques, including proper posture for singing, diaphragmatic breathing exercises, and initial vocal warm-ups using lip trills and specific melodic patterns. The Tutor assigned daily practice of the breathing exercises and a lip trill warm-up (to be sent via audio), and asked the Student to suggest 2-3 songs for future lessons.
Diaphragmatic Breathing & Activation
Breath Control Exercises (4-4-X Pattern)
Lip Trills as a Vocal Warm-up
Melodic Warm-up Pattern & Pitch Accuracy
Foundational Vocal Posture
The Student and Tutor worked on advanced singing techniques, focusing on breath control, open palate activation, and refining vocal resonance through various exercises. They applied these concepts to a worship song, practicing sustained notes, dynamic variations, and efficient breath management. The Student was assigned to record and send vocal variations for review and to continue practicing the song with straw singing and warm-ups.

The Student and Tutor focused on vocal technique, starting with warm-ups to improve pitch accuracy and breath control. They addressed posture, diaphragmatic breathing with 'open ribs,' and the importance of using a steady column of breath to avoid glottal hits and achieve a clean, rounded tone. The session concluded with ear training and harmony practice on specific song segments, for which the Tutor will provide piano recordings as follow-up practice material.

The Student and Tutor worked on fundamental rhythm skills, using a game involving animal sounds (cat, chicken, cow) to represent different note durations. The Student practiced identifying and playing rhythmic patterns on the piano with specific finger assignments. For homework, the Student is encouraged to practice various combinations of these animal rhythms with a metronome set to 60 BPM.

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.
