< Learning Piano is not merely about playing the piano >

Before starting to learn the piano, it’s essential to recognize that :

'' What we are actually learning is "Music", but not only "Piano". ''

The goal of learning any instrument is to acquire the language of music, enabling us to express ourselves and enjoy music with others. Playing the piano is for creating beautiful sounds, not really for developing finger speed or strength. That’s the function of gym.

< Music is like cooking >

When we cook, to make roast beef tender, of course, it’s nice to have a tender heart, but without knowing how to control the temperature, the roast beef won’t become tender merely by our tender heart.

By only adding salt, the dish won’t be sweet. Similarly, simply playing or writing a C major triad chord won’t convey a sorrowful feeling.

To create the feeling we want, no matter how much sentiment we have in our hearts, to convey it via music, it needs to be translated into the language which the piano can understand, which means, how we press and lift the keys and pedals. Similarly, when we compose, it needs to be transferred into chords, and notes we write.

< Difference between an audience and a musician >

There is a common belief that a musician can make music with sentiment or feeling. While it’s partially true, the most essential thing is knowing ‘’How’’ to create the sound that conveys the feeling we want, rather than merely knowing ‘’What’' feeling we want to convey.

The understanding of the mechanism behind music is essential, as cooking, and that is the difference between an audience and a musician. As an audience, one can simply feel the music. Like a chief who knows how to create a specific flavor to convey, a musician knows how to create the sound which can convey the feeling we want. While knowing which feeling we want is great, it’s merely the first step. Your emotions are not too different from Chopin, Beethoven, Adele or Taylor Swift, otherwise, they can’t resonate with you. But they know how to create the sound that conveys the feeling they want to their audience.

< Course Content >

I consider my course to be a form of "Music Consultation" because it contains a wide range of subjects that are essential to a professional musician. While we focus on piano playing, there are also music theory, music history, instrument construction, ergonomics for performers, analysis of composer styles, composition, arrangement, recording, MIDI, computer music, the physics of sound, and more.
In avoid of confusion, let’s still call my course as "Piano Course”.

< Duration >

For each course, I will reserve at least 70 minutes in my schedule for you, including 60 minutes of class time and an additional 10 minutes for discussion and any questions you may have. This will ensure that your courses are not rushed by the next student. This ensures that there is enough time for you to solve your piano and music problems.

< Recording >

I highly encourage my students to record their progress. This can provide an objective standard for comparison and help you analyze your playing precisely. In my nine years of experience teaching music, I've found many students, including those advanced, already play certain sections very well, while other sections may not be not well enough. But they still try to improving those fine sections, while not aware of those weak sections.
Without an objective reference, it’s hard to distribute our effort precisely. This can lead to not only unstable performance, but also practicing without a precise goal can easily reduce enthusiasm. Recording your results and comparing them with those recordings you like on YouTube or Spotify can be an effective way to analyze your playing and set precise goals.

If you have a digital piano, I can help you produce a video of your performance for each session. This can be a tangible record of your efforts and you can share it with your friends and family via YouTube or other platforms.

If you are interested in composition, music production, songwriting and performance but feel like you need some technical or creative motivation, this is the lesson for you. If you feel discouraged or overwhelmed by the technical aspects of a creative process, this is the lesson for you.

In these lessons, we will work on making the most of what we have through creative-problem solving and inspiration-hunting. You bring your ideas and we develop them together, have challenging conversations and explore alternative approaches to composition, production and songwriting to get you closer to your vision. We will also explore the many possibilities of working with a live band, ensemble or orchestra and how to encourage a healthy but focused work process.

Some more things covered in the process:

- Logic Pro X (mixing, producing, sampling, midi, audio recording)

- Composition (score writing / editing, notation software, orchestration / arrangement, music theory, composing for film / video)

- Songwriting (arranging, alternative score-writing, band communication, demo-making)

- Experimental production (eg. no-input mixing, prepared instruments, effect-pedals)

Do not let your ambition be hindered by limitations, but allow it to be inspired by them!

As a professional composer with a Master's degree in Composition and seven years of teaching experience, I can also help with composition, harmony, melody, rhythm, orchestration and music theory whenever these are useful to your production.

I teach complete beginners as well as experienced producers who want to improve their workflow, develop their musical ideas, solve technical problems or receive detailed professional feedback on their work.

There is no rigid curriculum. We identify what you want to achieve and build the lessons around your projects and goals.

The classes are tailored to each individual: we can start from scratch, delve deeper into a specific tool, or work directly on a project you're already developing. The idea is for you to be able to use these tools practically to develop your own musical and sound projects.

We can work on, among other things:

- Max MSP and Max for Live (from scratch, audio synthesis and processing, Max for Live, patch design and programming, Works and Sets Live Electronics, patch design and programming, communication between Max and other programs, etc.)

- Audio and production (Audio editing and processing, Pro Tools, Reaper, Logic Pro)

- Spatialization (Ambisonics, Specialization, multichannel diffusion, multichannel audio, spatialization system design in Max MSP, etc.)

- Musical language and theory (Musical language, harmony and analysis, rhythm and structure, and musical theory applied to electronic music)

The classes are primarily online and can be in Spanish or English.

No prior knowledge of programming or music theory is necessary. If you already have experience, we can start directly from your own projects and delve deeper into what you want to develop.
