Music is not just a hobby; it is an intrinsic part of my being, and I firmly believe that it should be an integral part of every person's education. The rhythm and sound are ingrained in our bodies, from the beating of our hearts to the sound of our breath, and formal music training is simply an expansion of what already exists within us. As I begin my lessons with new students, I tailor my approach based on their existing knowledge of the piano and musical theory. My teaching style revolves around a balance of discipline and fun, creating an environment where the student feels connected and at ease, fostering the perfect atmosphere for learning. I believe that joy and play are essential components of successful learning at any age, and I ensure that my students learn without undue stress and anxiety. I encourage them to play and enjoy the songs they choose, as well as incorporating songs that will help them overcome any weaknesses they may have. This approach is the key to achieving the best results and nurturing a lifelong love for music in my students.
I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees: - The University of La Rioja (Spain) - Master of Music Education - Conservatory of Music in Oviedo (Spain) - Bachelor of Music My principal teachers included Johann Sebastian Bach for additional studies in counterpoint, Ludwig Van Beethoven for knowledge of classical and romanticism Sonatas and Claude Debussy for discovering the French impressionism.

Home visit fee: $15 minimum fee. Teachers may negotiate a higher travel fee if the travel distance is longer than they are comfortable with. Most arrangements use the minimum fee.
One-Time Family Registration: $25. This covers your entire family for life - once you're in, everyone can take lessons!
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
