Jan - Your piano teacher
I'm Jan Ríos, and I'm a piano tutor with a High School Diploma from the Instituto de Música Juan Morel Campos at Ponce, Puerto Rico. Also, I finished my bachelor in Networking and Telecommunications with the InterAmerican University of Puerto Rico, Ponce Campus in 2025. On the other hand, I've finished my professional certification in Cybersecurity now in May 2026. My future educational goals are finishing my masters degree in Cybersecurity. To finilize, my 1st experience as a Tech Teacher was in the 2025-2026 year in Caribbean School that it's located in La Rambla in Ponce, Puerto Rico. My goal from giving piano lessons and tutoring is to give a fresh approach to all and a friendly knowledge to my fellow students in this time. Eventhow I have less than 1 year of experience, I have some expertise in chord theory, ear training, finger techniques, and between others. I specialized in nurturing skills like performance techniques, sight-reading, and mastering scales from students of all levels that coukd be kids, adults, or beginners. Let's start this fresh new journey and be the best version of ourselves together and enjoy what we have to give to the future of music and piano talents.
