Experienced Piano Professor

Experienced Piano Professor

I am Rebeca! I graduated magna cum laude with my Bachelor in Music degree and also have a Master degree in Music (both in Piano). I also have a PhD in Education. I am an elected member of the ‘Phi Kappa Phi” chapter at Southeastern Louisiana University.

I have more than 40 years of teaching experience. Teaching is my passion! I have experienced the joys and rewards of connecting with students and supporting them in their learning processes. My current philosophy of teaching has developed from my experiences as a learner and a teacher. The key principles that guide my teaching practice are valuing students as individuals and creating a positive, active learning environment. I am always willing to go an extra mile to help my students. I have taught hundreds of students during my teaching years either on a one to one basis or in classrooms.

Piano has been with me all my life. I started learning it when I was 5 years all and I fell in love with it. So much that I decided to become a musician and a teacher. That's why I studied both my Bachelor and my Master in Music specializing in Piano. Since I graduated in 1978 I went back to my country and began teaching Piano at two important Music Conservatories in Caracas, Venezuela; in one “Juan Manuel Olivares”, teaching Piano majors; and in the other “Juan José Landaeta”, teaching Piano minors (1978-1992). In 1986 I started teaching at the Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador, Instituto Pedagógico de Caracas (UPEL-IPC), where I became a Full Time Professor in the Art Department until 2009 when I retired.

Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson so you can enjoy the pleasure of learning Piano. I will always provide fast responses
