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.

Piano concepts taught by Jan
The Student and Tutor engaged in a piano lesson focused on various timing and dexterity exercises. They practiced different time signatures, alternating hand movements, contrary motion, and specific finger exercises on both the right and left hands. The session concluded with a challenging combination of two advanced exercises, and the Student was assigned to practice exercises six and seven for homework.
Mastering Basic Time Signatures
Fundamental Finger Technique and Placement
Hand Independence through Contrary Motion
Right & Left Hand Melodic Patterns (Exercise 6)
Introducing Ascendant & Descendant Trills (Exercise 7)
Coordinating Both Hands Simultaneously
The Tutor and Student reviewed previous piano exercises and introduced a new mixed interval etude focusing on specific fingerings. The session heavily focused on improving the Student's metronome timing and note duration through repetitive practice of specific measures with both hands. Homework was assigned to continue practicing exercises 1-5 with a metronome at different tempos.
