I love music so much I went into college debt for music. I don’t regret a thing. Now let me show you why music is amazing.

Ask a Bachelor educated piano tutor, I am Abdiel Villarreal. I specialize in music theory, music health and performance. Styles from classical and jazz all the way to gospel and Latin, I am eager to help you move forward with your music progression. This includes improvisation, stylistic interpretation, and more, but most importantly it is about you wanting to come and learn. I want you to do the hard work so that tomorrow you can play the way you want to, but that starts with wanting to show up and practice. I am here to convince you to want this. If you are interested in niche piano, do not hesitate to ask. Not everyone is a Bach Purist, and I will do my best to help you. My personal preference in piano playing is Salsa, Flamenco, and Gospel. If you ever need me to talk about something because you forgot to practice, just ask me why Stevie Wonder is amazing, why I love Chopin, or why I don’t like Mozart.

My primary concern is health. Making sure you don’t hurt yourself and don’t feel unnecessary pain. Please notify me if you feel some level of pain. Beyond that, my focus is between progress and enjoyment. I want you to learn and exercise but that doesn’t motivate anyone to practice which leads to less progress. I try to play around between simple tasks that any student can do and enjoyable challenges that will lead to progress and only after will we have a conversation about all the work we are doing so you can understand why all of it is important and how it will help in the long run. I also try to see what is your taste in music. Just because you like classical doesn’t necessarily mean you like Rossini. I’ll try to get you to listen to music that your interested in and explore the extremities of that style and genre or new similar genres to see potential future repertoire.
