Galinas Piano Studio
Private Piano Tuition
Discover how private piano education and the gift of self expression through music can benefit school, offer a sense of achievement, self confidence, discipline, and personal development.
I formerly taught in Europe, and have been teaching in Los Angeles for over 30 years since 1988. Many of my students who started at an early age (5-6 years old), studied until graduating high school, and now attend some of the best universities.
The Advantage of Private Tuition
Focus on Individual Strengths and Weaknesses
Every student will have strengths and weaknesses. Working with strengths reinforces student’s confidence, progress, and learning experience without undue frustration and discouragement they may experience in a group or classroom setting. Every one of my students receives dedicated and unique learning experience that addresses their learning abilities and musical taste.
What Students Learn
It’s important for your child to like what they are playing, and learn in a way that is both challenging, encouraging, and builds on the individual strengths while working on the weaknesses. I teach music from different periods like Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Contemporary, and composed by various great composers like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Joplin, Rachmaninov, Schubert, and many others.
Piano and Other Instruments
The Piano is one of the most widely used instruments in western music because of its versatility and use in many different musical contexts. In addition to being used as a solo instrument, the piano can be used as an accompaniment to other instruments, and as a tool for practice and composition of modern music genres. It’s an excellent aid in learning the basics of musical notation.
Piano Competitions
My students perform in regional competitions, festivals, and recitals. More experienced students receive branch honor recognition and perform at MTAC Conventions
MTAC Certificate of Merit
Most students participate in MTAC Certificate of Merit Program which evaluates their progress. Students win trophies and awards for skill in performance, technique, ear training, sight reading and written theory.
Parent & Child Events
Students get a chance to showcase their skills in front of small audiences at my studio recitals to build confidence and self esteem.
