Introduction

My goal as a teacher is that you become in a critical thinker of music. That you can create your own pieces in any genre (Classical, Contemporary, Jazz, Video-game, etc.) and that you can appreciate and understand music in a high level. In order to do that, we focus in your needs and expectations.

Dr. Cardona is a skilled composer who can effectively communicate his knowledge of theory and composition. His lessons are challenging but he is patient and flexible to what you need as a student. My music skills have definitely improved with his instruction. I highly recommend Dr. Cardona!

I was recommended to Juan by my piano teacher and could not be happier with the results! Juan does a great job of teaching holistically and making sure you have a well-rounded understanding of the various music topics he presents. There is a depth and passion to his knowledge that you certainly can't find just anywhere. I feel that his feedback is always helpful and he finds a solid balance between fostering creativity while still driving home core fundamentals. Initially, I was just trying to improve my piano playing and write a bit, but Juan encouraged me to expand beyond just the piano. Now, I'm constantly writing songs for a multitude of instruments and having a blast! I look forward to our lessons each week and I can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to dive into the world of music theory and composition!
