I am a music teacher graduated from National School of the Arts (ENA) in Havana, Cuba. I started teaching at the age of 18 in Cuba and I have been teaching piano in Miami for more than 30 years. I am a member of the American College of Musicians so my students have the opportunity to get a test with the Guild every summer. Also we have recitals twice a year (Christmas and summer). I love teaching and seeing my students progressing. I also play the piano for ballet classes. I have worked with several ballet schools in Miami for many years, such as Ballet Concerto, New World School of the Arts, FIU Dance Program, Boca Ballet, etc. Actually I work for Miami City Ballet since 1999. Teaching is my passion so I really enjoy the process of my students not knowing anything about piano and later being able to play the instrument. I feel so good when I see them playing in recitals and doing a really good job in their tests. It’s amazing!
