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!
Eugene Paul graduated from University of the Philippines Los Banos

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.
