Piano lessons overview

I tailor each piano lesson to the student’s age, goals, background, and learning style, making music clear, practical, and enjoyable for everyone. I specialize in classical music, Latin music, and jazz, helping students explore a wide range of styles with confidence. Lessons are available in English, Spanish, and French. My teaching method combines strong technical foundations with creative exercises, rhythm training, ear development, improvisation, and musical interpretation. I break down complex ideas into simple, understandable steps, ensuring students feel motivated, inspired, and confident at every stage. I emphasize healthy technique, efficient practice habits, clear weekly goals, and a positive, nurturing environment. Whether preparing for auditions, competitions, performances, or simply learning for personal enjoyment, I guide each student to develop strong skills, artistic expression, and a lifelong passion for music. Every lesson is designed not just to teach piano, but to build creativity, discipline, and a deep appreciation for musical artistry.
