About MARIA TERESA STUDIO

I am a concert pianist and piano teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience, trained in Barcelona and Saint Petersburg. During my seven years teaching in San Diego, I worked with more than 200 students of different ages and levels, building a thriving private piano studio. I now offer private piano lessons for children, teens, and adults at my home studio in San Marcos. My teaching combines strong technical foundations, music reading, musicianship, and repertoire with an approach tailored to each student. I work with complete beginners as well as advanced students, and I prepare students for ABRSM examinations when desired. I am a Steinway Certified Teacher and hold advanced degrees in Piano, Chamber Music, Music Theory, and Music Education. Throughout my career, I have taught more than 200 students, from young beginners discovering the piano for the first time to advanced musicians pursuing serious musical study. Students have the opportunity to perform in studio recitals in professional venues, while those who prefer to learn simply for their own enjoyment are equally welcome. Lessons take place on a Yamaha C7 7’6” grand piano in my private San Marcos studio. I believe that excellent teaching should be both rigorous and inspiring. My goal is to give every student the tools to become an independent musician while developing a genuine and lasting love for music.

Noah M.Jan 2018

She understood my weaknesses as a musician and was able to teach in such a way so the focus was on strengthening those weaknesses. She also kept the repertoire fun and fresh and was understanding and flexible when it came to scheduling. I really enjoyed her as a teacher!

Our 8-year old daughter, Sonia, had the privilege and pleasure of studying piano with Maria for the past six months. This was Sonia's first experience with learning a musical instrument. Maria inspired her to love playing the piano and Sonia looked forward to learning from her each week. Maria is an absolute professional. She has an excellent pedigree in terms of her own training and she is a professional concert pianist in addition to being an outstanding teacher. She inspires her students and is wonderful with children. My daughter was so excited to learn from Maria and Maria's enthusiasm for music and her students' progress clearly rubs off in a positive way on her students. Maria works hard to teach her students the fundamentals of piano but also encourages them to feel and enjoy the music on an emotional level. Maria is warm, patient, supportive, positive and very easily establishes a strong and lasting rapport with her students. Her excitement for the piano is infectious! Maria was present and on time for every single lesson and was very good about communicating with us throughout our time with her. We will miss her dearly when she moves to California in a few weeks, and both my daughter and I offer our highest recommendation of Maria. Her future students would be very lucky to learn from her.
