Eugene Paul - Your piano teacher
I am Eugene Paul Talusan and I have been playing the piano for almost 25 years. I work as a music teacher and tutor and I can help you with what you need in terms of playing the piano especially if you are a beginner or intermediate level player. I am well-versed in music theory and composition, and can also help you in ear training, sight reading, improvisation, and other related musical skills. I try to make my lessons fun and comprehensive and we can also delve into other topics in music such as musicology, history, and how music is relevant to our society. I believe that playing music is a great skill to have and I want to help others in honing their own. On top of that, I also have a degree in Biology, so I can also help you in Science related questions. Feel free to set a schedule with me! Just leave a message and I will be more than welcome to set you up. Thank you!

Piano lessons at a glance
In my personalized tutoring approach, I seamlessly integrate music theory, musicality, technique, ear training, and sight reading into lessons that are interactive. Specializing in teaching a variety of piano playing, I cater to beginners and intermediate level students whether they be adults or kids. I adjust my curriculum to what the student needs. My strength lies in providing tailored lessons that nurture a deep understanding of music while fostering a love for playing the piano, ensuring that each student reaches their full potential. I believe that piano playing is best taught one-on-one, in order to focus on skills needed to be practiced. I also consider practice in the student's personal time to be a very crucial part in studying music, as it builds discipline and makes the lessons easier to understand, which is why I encourage every student of mine to have their own personal piano or keyboard at home.

Evan dedicated his practice time to pieces from the John Thompson book, concentrating on rhythm, counting, and achieving smooth transitions. His assignment for the upcoming lesson includes studying pages 4, 5, and 6 from group two.

Eugene and C L worked on piano exercises from "The Journey" and a canon, focusing on tempo, rhythm, and finger placement. C L practiced specific measures of the canon to improve smoothness and continuity, and was assigned to practice measures 21-36, focusing on playing four measures straight. The next lesson is scheduled for Thursday, and C L will be away for a month starting October 20th.

Eugene worked with a piano student, a resident of College Station, focusing on scales, Hannon exercises, and sight-reading an Adul piece. The learner practiced improving tempo consistency in scales, hand coordination in exercises, and sight-reading skills. Eugene assigned the second page of the exercise book as homework and instructed them to polish specific sections of the Adul piece.

In a recent piano lesson, Eugene and Kloe dedicated time to various exercises, including scales, "A Dozen a Day," and Hannon, with a strong emphasis on rhythm, finger coordination, and speed. Kloe also performed a minuet, receiving specific feedback on maintaining consistent tempo and rhythmic accuracy. For her practice, Kloe was assigned to study exercises 1-3 from group two in "A Dozen a Day" and to continue refining the Hannon exercises and the minuet.

Eugene and Raji recently dedicated their piano practice to exercises from "A Dozen a Day," aiming to enhance their articulation and hand coordination. Their work also included pieces from their main book, where they learned the note F and practiced hand switching. For the upcoming two weeks, Raji is tasked with completing exercises from "A Dozen a Day" (up to exercise six, potentially eight) and pages 24, 27, 28, and 29 from the main book. Eugene will share a recording link for the book.
