About de lessons
My pedagogical approach is focused on professional results and artistic autonomy. I develop a personalized roadmap that blends the student's interests with the technical rigor required for a sophisticated sound.
What sets my methodology apart:
Technical Objectivity: I use modern music perception and ear training tools to accelerate learning, allowing students to master their repertoire with theoretical understanding rather than just motor repetition.
Creation & Improvisation: I encourage composition and arranging as the pillars of musical evolution. I believe true mastery comes from the ability to create on the instrument.
Musical Independence: My goal is to provide students with the tools to play by ear, harmonize melodies, and develop their own unique voice on the piano.
Professional Online Setup: To ensure an immersive learning experience, I use a high-definition multi-camera setup. This allows students to see my hands from different angles simultaneously (overhead and side views), making it easy to follow fingerings, posture, and technical nuances as if we were in the same room.
Whether you are a beginner looking for a solid foundation or an advanced musician seeking to refine your improvisation and vocal accompaniment technique, my lessons are designed to elevate your musical standards.
