Andrea - Your piano teacher

My name is Andrea Hoyos. I graduated from the Jazz Piano and Popular Music program at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. I currently work as a pianist, producer, and teacher, and I have been teaching piano and developing my own methodology for the past 13 years. I enjoy teaching both people who are just starting out and those who want to deepen their existing knowledge. I am especially drawn to slow, deep, and continuous learning processes, where the piano becomes a tool for active listening, understanding music, and developing a close relationship with sound. One of my specialties is creating personalized arrangements of my students’ favorite songs, adapting them to their level and interests. I love finding creative ways for each student to play the music they connect with while gradually developing their technique, musical understanding, and confidence. I want each person to approach music through play and curiosity. I have worked with students of different ages and levels, both in Colombia and abroad, and I adapt each lesson to each person’s sensitivity, interests, and pace. Some people come looking for technique; others, creativity; and others simply for a space to make music. Everyone is welcome.
