About

Hello! I'm Sofía and since I was six, I've been having fun with the keys. I began my studies at the conservatory at that age, and later, I finished my Master's in Piano Performance from HKU Utrecht Conservatorium. 

Currently, I’m deepening my studies at Lund University (Sweden), exploring how creativity can be a way to take charge in a world that often tempts us to be passive consumers. That’s my core motivation behind my piano studio: helping students reclaim their creative agency, make music a part of their life, and yes, enjoy the process, even when things get tricky!

With experience as a concert pianist performing in places like Tivoli Vredenburg and Teatro Colón, and a background in anthropology and psychology, I’ve developed a holistic approach that combines artistic expression, practical strategies, science based-tools, and a good amount of humor to make the learning process fun and effective.

Core Topics & Expertise:

- Piano performance (solo and ensemble).
- Performance studies & stage presence.
- Practice methodology & effective practice techniques.
- Music learning strategies & artistic development.
- Performance psychology & stage communication.
- Interdisciplinary Research.
- Creative confidence & artistic self-Discovery.
- Metacognitive learning strategies for artists.

Teaching Style

My goal is to help you to commit to your artistic passion for piano no matter how busy life gets. You’re not too late, and you don’t need more time, just the right approach to make music part of your life.

  • Actionable, science-based tools: Learn practical strategies that make practice efficient and progress measurable, helping you stay consistent and motivated.

  • Creative expression: Learn to reflect your voice, your story, and your way of feeling into your music, while developing a clear, easy approach to practice.

  • Make it a lifestyle. Build not only musical skills but also patience, resilience, and confidence in your ability to learn and create.

  • How It Works:

  • Learn from anywhere, at any level, and at any age. Materials are included, and lessons are designed to fit your real life.
  • Lessons are tailored to your goals with simple, step-by-step plans and clear feedback after each session. You'll always know what to focus on next.
  • You'll get scores, technical exercises, worksheets and resources. No need to buy books unless you want to!
  • Regular progress check-ins and custom tools to keep you motivated and on track. Because consistency is key to your success!

Curriculum

"The highlight of my week is always my piano lesson with Sofía. She is incredibly talented, both as a pianist and as a teacher. During our lessons, I feel growth as an artist, heard as a musician, and encouraged knowing that I have an incredibly supportive mentor." - Fernando,

"Before working with Sofía, I felt stuck with bad habits and slow progress. She quickly understood what I needed and gave me clear, effective strategies. Even outside of lessons her support keeps me motivated. Now I practice with confidence and finally see real improvement. I truly recommend her!" - Ernesto
