Armando - Your piano teacher

Armando Salazar with an experience of teaching and composing music for the past 5+ years. Working one-on-one or group sessions, I strive to help my students comprehend music via reading, writing and performing. Having experience in educating all levels ranging from beginner-advanced in all ages from 5+ With hard-work and dedication, students will be able to comprehend proper piano positioning, confidence in music reading and an interest in new undiscovered music. Regardless of what personal goals my student(s) may have, luxury or academia, music lessons will be a criteria in critical thinking, expressive thoughts and self-discovery in music taste. Utilizing my piano skills, I am able to compose music in various genres such as theatrical music, folk and classical. With my assistance, we can embark on a journey to discover your music potential!

Piano lessons at a glance

My personal tutoring sessions allows me to approach the student(s) at an calm empathetic pace that focuses on progressive instruction, theory integration, enhancing sight reading and writing skills and rhythm adaptation. Every student has their own progression that will be established according to their perception. Reading and writing music is introduced and treated as a second language. All while playing and studying new music will be a persistent challenge along with adapting rhythm exercises via counting and clapping out loud. My teaching strengths contain interactive lessons that involve the student(s) to play along side the instructor and inspire an interest in challenging repertoire and a love for learning. My assigned work focuses on the lesson introduced in class and expends the curriculum to deeply challenge independence and progress.
