I'm Edmar, and I'm a passionate and experienced music instructor dedicated to helping students of all ages discover the joy of piano. With over a decade of experience, I hold a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from the University of Redlands. While my background is in classical music, I also specialize in a wide range of styles, including jazz, bossa nova, soul, and more.
My teaching philosophy is simple: lessons should be flexible, fun, and tailored to you. I've worked with students...

advancing together - shared goals
Edmar has been a wonderful piano teacher. He truly listens and understands the student’s level, and he is not afraid to find a meaningful compromise between what the student wants to learn and what is necessary to progress. He combines discipline with kindness, professionalism, and strong musical skills, creating a learning environment that feels both supportive and challenging. For years, I wanted to play the ii–V–I progression, and during one of our lessons he finally said, “You have to play 2-5-1.” That moment made me incredibly happy, because it showed how well he understood my goals and when I was ready to take that step. I highly recommend Edmar because real progress happens when mentor and student are honest with each other about where they are, while moving forward together toward growth, confidence, and musical development. Edmar knows how to challenge his students with respect and clarity, always guiding them forward.

If you're looking for a teacher, just book with Edmar!
The vibe I've gotten from Edmar even after one lesson is amazing and you can really tell he knows what he's talking about! I'm so excited to start my journey with him as my teacher and plan on having him as my exclusive tutor just based on our first meeting. He's also very flexible and willing to work with you on just about everything which I love. I'm so looking forward to how far I'll have come this time next year!
