Piano lessons overview

In my piano tutoring practice, I tailor my approach to suit students of all levels and ages, from kids to adults and beginners to advanced players. My teaching style is a blend of progressive instruction, expressive musicality, and a focus on technique while encouraging creativity. With a curriculum that caters to diverse needs, I incorporate tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual piano applications to enhance the learning experience both online and offline. I leverage ear training software, chord & scale reference apps, and looping software to make lessons engaging and interactive. By using PDF sheet music libraries and backing track resources, students are exposed to a variety of musical styles and genres. Additionally, I utilize piano tuner apps to ensure students' instruments are in optimal condition for learning. My methodology's strength lies in its adaptability, fostering a supportive environment where students can explore their musical potential. By emphasizing technique, expression, and creativity, I empower students to not only excel in piano exams but also to compose and perform their music confidently. My goal is to inspire a lifelong love for music and nurture well-rounded musicians who can express themselves through the piano effectively.

While I was studying piano in Laramie, I discovered that Santiago is an exceptionally nurturing teacher. his lessons encompass vital skills such as sight-reading, technique, and musical phrasing. Learning classical piano with his has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. I highly recommend him for both beginners and intermediate players!

Santiago made learning my favorite pop song on piano so easy and fun couldn’t have done it without his help!
