Introduction

STOP! Master the piano in 59 MINUTES… Yes, really! 🔴 New to piano playing? Unlock your potential and accelerate your progress 🟢 Already a master? Maximize your skills with focused piano coaching Welcome to Ceballos Studio! Hi! I’m Héctor D. Ceballos, and my piano lessons go beyond technique. Together, we’ll explore music in a way that’s deeply personal to you, building a strong foundation so you can play the songs and pieces you love with real feeling. With each lesson, you’ll connect more deeply to the piano, discovering how to bring out the emotion in every note—until the music truly resonates with you. What I Offer: * Interactive Online Learning -Made Just for You-: In our first free session, we’ll get to know your goals and experience. I’ll set up a personalized plan with clear steps, tasks, and even (if you’d like) an AI summary to help with practice. * Up-Close, Hands-On Approach: With a multi-camera setup—including a top-down view—you’ll get a close look at all the details. * Flexible Weekly Plan: For $185 a month, you’ll get weekly, 1-hour lessons that include flexibility if you ever need to reschedule - Plus, each month includes a free weekly 15-minute check-in to keep you on track and answer any questions between lessons! Getting Ready for Your First Lesson: Have a notebook handy (or some music staff paper); I’ll share additional materials through Google Drive. If you have a tablet, let me know, and I’ll send my custom-designed composition notebook! My Style: I keep our sessions practical yet deeply creative. We’ll use my effective “secret” practice methods to make learning feel natural. My goal is to guide you in discovering the piano on your own terms, finding both technique and emotion in every piece. Questions and ideas are always welcome here so bring your curiosity, a favorite drink, and maybe a snack; I’m here to make each session both meaningful and enjoyable. ~ Let’s write YOUR music journey ~

I am an adult first time piano student. Hector is so clear with his communication, and his knowledge is outstanding. I am not great with technology but Hector helped me get situated for a very informative and helpful online lesson. Hector explained to me his philosophy of hands on training mixed with a study of theory and I am very excited he is my teacher as I begin this new hobby.

Héctor’s instructions were concise and clear and I already feel like I’m learning a lot and at a great price too! I’m excited for the many more lessons to come and I highly recommend Héctor if you are like me and don’t know much of anything about piano/music to start.

I have had several weekly lessons with Héctor so far and am very impressed. Héctor is very encouraging, tailors his lessons to my needs and balances playing the piano with music theory and rhythm development amazingly well. As an adult learner and a complete beginner with no knowledge of music theory or playing an instrument; I can see a marked improvement from lesson to lesson. Pieces I looked at weeks ago, now make perfect sense. I would highly recommend Héctor and look forward to each lesson.

So mature for a 25 year old. I am a father of college going kids. I never learned piano as a kid growing up, but decided to learn to encourage my kids. Sadly they quit learning and I continued. Today I am 56 years old and still try to play albeit with mistakes mostly church music. I am hoping Hector will get me to the next level. I have only had 1 lesson and I am very hopeful it will get better every week.

Details: 45 - 64 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • Classical • Yes, the student has a piano • 30 minutes • Remotely (phone or internet) • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location
