Fernandez Piano Studio

I cannot express how fortunate I am to have found Fernandez Piano Studio and Fernando as my piano teacher. From the moment I started lessons with him, my musical journey has been nothing short of incredible! And thats a lot to say coming from me...

I started playing the piano at 9 years old, I've had countless piano teachers and none have taught me like Fernando. He possesses an extraordinary depth of knowledge and skill in piano that is truly awe-inspiring. He has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into manageable steps, making me fall in love with the piano again. His passion for music is contagious!

One of the aspects I appreciate most about Fernando is that he doesn't just teach "read the notes and play the keys" he tailors each lesson to suit my individual needs and goals, ensuring that I am constantly challenged and growing as a pianist. He brings in music theory which was something I had never learned in my 30 years of playing! His patience and encouragement have boosted my confidence and motivation to practice diligently.

Beyond the technical aspects of piano playing, Fernando has a gift for teaching musicality and expression. I have seen incredible progress in my piano skills since starting lessons with him, so much so that my preteen daughters and husband even commented on my improvement!

If you're looking for a piano teacher who is not only a master of the instrument but also a dedicated, patient, and an inspiring mentor, Fernandez Piano Studio is the perfect place no matter how old or young or years of experience you might already have!

Didn't know what to expect taking my 4.5 YO daughter to private piano lessons, but it's something I regret not doing at an earlier age, and it was something my daughter expressed interest in doing. Fernando's studio is so convenient to our house in Poway, which makes getting to lessons a breeze. Fernando is an extremely nice individual, talented, patient, kind, and makes piano interesting and enjoyable for the little one. I am always impressed with his organized lesson plans, and he is good at sensing when a change of pace is needed if my daughter is frustrated or needing additional stimulation from another activity. He is never one to push too hard and is very patient with my rambunctious daughter. He also encourages us to bring in songs and ideas from popular music we enjoy, which makes it fun for the daughter so she can associate her learning with music she likes. Overall, although it can sometimes be a chore to practice at home and make the lessons each week, we have noticed strong progression since the beginning, with my daughter now able to recognize notes and hand positions from memory, play basic melodies (using both hands no less), and learning some basic songs, writing music, and learning notes/rhythms. I can't wait to see what the future holds and appreciate Fernando's patient and persistent approach. I know Fernando has clients across the age spectrum, and I get the sense he is good at meeting folks where they are at musically and developmentally to make the lessons work for each individual. I recommend you check out Fernandez Piano Studio!

GREAT Piano Teacher!!! I interviewed several teachers before deciding to enroll with Mr. Fernandez. I really enjoy his approach to teaching the piano, and teaching music background along the way. His depth of knowledge about music, techniques to play and various music styles have made learning to play piano fun, educational, motivational and entertaining. I highly recommend Mr. Fernandez, if you want to learn to play the piano...

I am an adult who just started learning how to play the piano. Mr. Fernando is very nice, and he makes learning the piano really fun and interesting. I like the way he includes music theory and history which I am really interested in. His studio is very comfortable and not intimidating which makes you feel at ease when you are there. I would recommend him to any one who wants to learn to play the piano.

Fernando is an amazing teacher, my daughter is 8 and started last year and looks forward to every lesson. She is learning theory in addition to learning to play songs that she knows and likes. He doesn't follow the basic book method, but he goes by the student and his own methods which make so much sense. She knows more than ever did in my years playing as a young kid. He's a wonderful musician and piano teacher.
