About

Music Educator | Multi-Instrumentalist (Piano • Guitar • Drums)
Learn the songs you love while building real technique and musical confidence.

Hi, I’m Abriel — a multi-instrumentalist and audio-visual professional with over a decade of teaching experience in both studio and private settings. I offer online lessons in piano, guitar, and drums for all levels, blending structured technique and music theory with the freedom to explore the styles and songs that inspire you.

My goal: to help every student not just play, but truly understand music — developing skills that last, whether you’re a complete beginner or advancing your artistry.

Teaching Style

Teaching Style
I’m a patient, supportive teacher who meets students where they are. My lessons focus on your goals — whether that’s learning your favorite songs, building solid technique, or diving into music theory. I break concepts down clearly, adapt to different learning styles, and create an encouraging space where mistakes are part of the process and progress feels natural.

Curriculum

Teaching Method & Recommended Texts
My approach is individualized for each student — your goals are my goals. Lessons are designed to be multi-dimensional, balancing technique, theory, and creativity.

For beginners, I often recommend method books such as Alfred’s Basic Series, along with other tailored resources to support growth. Depending on a student’s interests, we may also work from chord charts, lead sheets, or custom lesson materials to strengthen practical skills.

Every student receives a personalized lesson plan that adapts to their learning style and musical goals, ensuring steady progress and a well-rounded foundation.
