Piano Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Organ, Synthesizer, Accordion, Music

Instruments: Piano, Voice

I have a degree in Music Education, and also a Bachelors Degree in Musicology from University of Arts (Havana, Cuba).

I always had a passion for teaching and helping others develop their skills. Read More
