Hi and welcome to my website.
My name is Emiliano and I play and teach piano.
This website is a tool for providing extra support to my students, as well as a free resource for anyone out there who might be interested in learning.
Offered services
Here’s what I can do for you.
1 to 1 piano lessons
From beginners to advanced, age 8 to 100+, this is the time tested and traditional way. All examining boards covered (RIAM, ABRSM, LCM, Trinity) or just learn-to-play without examinations at the end of the term. Classical, modern, pop, it’s all available.

Anyone with an internet connection and a webcam can take piano lessons from the comfort of their home, saving both time and money.

Lessons by video exchange
You can also take lessons by video exchange: record yourself performing and send the video to me. I will take the time to send you back a video of myself demonstrating tips, fixes, practice suggestions and exercises to overcome your current difficulties.

Alex Porion19 June 2023Amazingly dynamic as always, Emiliano has managed to get our son interested in playing piano again. Using the right balance of fun, technic and love for music, his lessons are bursting with passion.Lorna Bang15 June 2022Emiliano is a fantastic piano teacher. His extensive musical knowledge and experience turns any lesson into a private Masterclass. He goes at just the right pace for a ten-year-old and structures the lessons in a way that allows beginners to learn and have fun at the same time. I highly recommend.Garrett Gray7 March 2021My son has come on leaps and bounds under Emeliano's tutelage. Emeliano is really skilled but also builds a lovely relationship with our son and is very patient. His mastery of technology is fantastic and adds immeasurably to the value of his classes. Even after lockdown I think we will continue with online classes as we can stay at home with perhaps the occasional one to one in person.Monica Cummins3 March 2021Coming back to music as a mature student Emiliano has given me confidence and encouragement the whole way. His teaching ability is second to none. I thoroughly enjoy his class either at his home or on zoom.Ms Houlihan28 February 2021Emiliano is a great teacher. I am a primary teacher and I attend piano lessons with Emiliano now and again when I need a hand with some pieces for school. If I send him an audio he will write a score. I have had lessons face to face and through zoom. I couldn’t recommend him enough. 5 stars! Kathleenalison mcgrann27 February 2021Brilliant piano teacher, and really high quality enjoyable classes. Very tech savvy for zoom classes which work very smoothly. Highly recommended, live or on zoom.Anne Finn27 February 2021I have been having piano lessons with Emiliano for about 3 years now both at his home (when life was normal ) and now online and I have to say he is a wonderful teacher .i am a mature student and never played the piano or read music before I started with Emiliano.he has made the journey so enjoyable and is a gifted pianist and genuinely wants to share his knowledge with an amazing patience and skill.i am now reading piano sheet music and playing new pieces and I have Emiliano to thank for this .i was worried as to how the online class would go but it’s been really easy to adapt to .i can say without reservation that Emiliano is a first class teacher and would recommend him to all ages .Fabio27 February 2021Emiliano is a very dedicated teacher, an excellent communicator and a great person overall. He has a solid academic preparation blended with the right level of formal-informal approach, which enables him to engage learners in a very productive and motivating way. He is also a great listener, which helps him flex his teaching methodologies to meet the needs of the learners!Bezerker Krankenhaus27 February 2021Emiliano is a great teacher, I have learnt so much from him in twelve months despite the Covid-19 pandemic. He has used Zoom as a teaching aid which has helped me a lot where the video of the lesson is recorded and I can use the video for reference. I started from scratch and in one year I have improved with major assistance from Emiliano. David Long.
recommendsAnna Tenebruso3 March 2021I’ve been known Emiliano for years and I couldn’t wait for my son to be old enough to start having piano lessons with him. Christopher started in May last year zoom lessons and it is amazing how much he has learned thanks to Emiliano.recommendsEmmet Scanlan3 March 2021I have been doing lessons with Emiliano for a year now,and I think he is a FANTASTIC teacher. He is extremely thorough,he listens to my questions,explains clearly and is very patient! He is EXTREMELY talented as a player. And he uses computer apps to explain situations FLAWLESSLY! He is extremely capable and is the best piano teacher I have had (I’ve had 4 previously). I highly recommend him! (39 year old student).recommendsCon Doyle27 February 2021Emiliano played an integral part in my musical development. His passion for theory is infectious and his love for his craft is inspiring. Would absolutely recommend him above anyone else I have worked with.recommendsDean Curtin27 February 2021I’d highly recommend Emiliano as a teacher. I’ve had weekly piano and music theory/composition lessons with Emiliano for a few months now and my playing ability and understanding of music as a whole has improved massively since I started. (People have complimented on my playing ability) He’s a really knowledgable, nice guy who keeps the lessons interesting, challenging and progressive. I thought about getting lessons for a while before I started with Emiliano and I’m glad I chose him as my teacher. He’s always ready to answer any questions or offers to help with a particular problem. He has a great ability to break down a problem and help you overcome any challenge.not recommendsTrish Murphy26 May 2015Emiliano is a great teacher of music he is a breath of fresh air and brings fun and laughter into his piano lessons .
