Personalized Piano Lessons: Solid Technique and Repertoire to Your Taste.

From 42.93 C$ /h

Do you want to master the piano with a solid yet fun foundation? Or do you need to speak in public with complete confidence and eloquence? My unique method combines the discipline of art with the power of communication so you can achieve your goals effectively and inspiringly.

As a certified piano teacher endorsed by MEDUCA (more than 11 years of experience) and an award-winning speaker at national competitions, my classes are a personalized dialogue focused 100% on you.

We combine essential technique (scales, Hanon, Czerny) with the repertoire that motivates you: from Bach and soundtracks to your favorite songs. My experience as a communicator allows me to break down the most complex topics into simple, clear steps. My priority is to create a space of trust where mistakes are welcomed, as they are the roadmap to learning.

These lessons are designed for absolute beginners (adults and children over 10 years old) and intermediate students looking to strengthen their technique and expression.

Extra information

For piano lessons, it is essential that the student has a piano or keyboard at home to conduct the lessons at home and allow for the essential daily practice between sessions.

About Me

My name is David, and I'm 18 years old. Before I tell you about titles or methods, I want to tell you something. For me, piano and debate aren't simply "subjects I teach"; they're the two great passions that have defined my life. The piano taught me to listen, to feel, and to find discipline in beauty. Debate taught me to organize my thoughts, to connect with others, and to stand up for what I believe in.

My mission as a teacher is simple: to share that spark with you. I firmly believe that we all have a voice and a melody waiting to be discovered. My job is to give you the tools, the confidence, and the safe space to find them.

My Philosophy: How I Feel and Live Teaching
One-on-One: Before we're "teacher and student," we're two people connecting. My number one priority is for you to feel comfortable. I want our classes to be that time of the week you look forward to, a space to explore, ask questions, and make mistakes without fear. Mistakes aren't failures; they're the roadmap that shows us where to go next.

Patience Is My Promise: I know exactly what it's like to feel stuck on a piano piece or to come up empty before speaking. I've experienced it. That's why my greatest virtue as a teacher is infinite patience, based on empathy. We'll go at your pace, without pressure, celebrating every small step forward.

We seek Magic, not Empty Perfection: What's the point of playing a thousand notes a minute if they convey nothing? From day one, we'll work on emotion, on the story you want to tell with music or your words. Technique is essential, yes, but it will always be our tool to achieve something greater: genuine expression.

Ok, so how do we do it in practice?
I channel all this passion through a very clear method, because I want you to see real results.

My foundation is solid, so yours will be too: My certification as a piano teacher from the Panama Academy of Music (endorsed by MEDUCA) isn't just a piece of paper. It's the guarantee that I'll teach you with a proven methodology, taking care of your posture, your technique, and your understanding of musical language to avoid future frustrations.

I'll explain everything in a way you'll understand (really!): My debate awards aren't just for bragging; they're proof that my superpower is breaking down complex ideas and making them easy and even exciting. Forget boring lectures or not understanding the "why" of an exercise.

A plan tailored for you: I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" methods. In our first class, we'll talk more than anything. I want to know what music moves you, what scares you about public speaking, what your dreams are. And together, we'll design a path that will keep you inspired.

This adventure is for you if...
You've always dreamed of playing the piano, but you think "it's too late" or that "you don't have the talent" (let me prove you wrong!).

You get nervous when speaking at university or at work and want to finally feel confident in your own voice.

You're looking for musical training for your son or daughter that's much more than an extracurricular activity: a source of discipline, sensitivity, and self-confidence.

You've already reached a certain level and feel stuck, looking for a new perspective to help you take the next step.

It's not just about learning a new skill. It's about giving yourself a new way to express yourself and connect with yourself and others.

I'd love to hear your story and your goals. Shall we talk?
