Introduction: Music is one of the things that just unites everybody from all walks of life. One of the things I love about it is that it transcends language and culture. Good music is good music. I always focus on my relationship with the student first. I make sure the student is enjoying the process of learning and make the lesson as interactive and fun as possible! I'm learning Spanish now in Colombia and I learn the most when I'm hanging out with my Colombian friends and roommates. I get to apply it everyday and that's how I see the most progress. Sometimes a student and teacher don't have good chemistry, and that's OK! I understand that you need to find the right person for you. Because of this, if you feel that after our first lesson it's the right fit, don't worry! The lesson will be free :) But if you do enjoy working with me, your results will be amazing! I am a professional pianist who is classical trained, I write and play music from all genres. I have garnered over 50,000 streams in my first year across all platforms for my music (biggest following is on Soundcloud). If you're curious about my compositions, find me on Spotify under Wesly Thomas.

I personally have had multiple piano teachers in the past but, none that offered the courteousness that Wesly Tan does. Wesly brings forth a unique type of energy that is almost contagious and makes learning a new instrument pleasurable and entertaining. His charisma and genuine compassion were encouraging benefactors in teaching me to play piano. His down to earth attitude makes one feel at ease and comfortable. His skill set ranges from classical, to jazz, to even pop; you name it. Wesly makes it easy to learn from your mistakes, and become a better pianist as a whole. From my experience with him, I have grown exponentially in my skills behind the piano. Making the decision to work with Wesly Tan was one that would award me with the musical experience that could be matched by no other.

Wesly was a highly encouraging mentor. He always provided me with positive feedback and was willing to work with me whenever I was struggling with a particular piece. He provided an environment that was extremely compatible with my learning style.

I enrolled in a piano course at my college to try and learn piano, but due to starting so late, picking it up was a challenge. Wesly was patient with my learning speed, very helpful in critiquing my issues and how to fix them, and all around fun to work with. In addition, he gave me the confidence to perform in front of others. I recommend him to anyone trying to learn the skills necessary to play the piano.

It's hard to find a piano teacher that isn't too strict or too easygoing, but Wesly put it together in the perfect combination. It was my first time taking piano lessons and Wesly made it a really great experience. He was extremely friendly, encouraging and made the experience of learning a skill so foreign to me a lot of fun. He is passionate about music and piano, which made me enjoy lessons that much more. I highly recommend his lessons!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am now only teaching online lessons, so instead of my normal $80 an hour I am charging $45 per hour per lessons.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I don't follow a curriculum based teaching method. I feel that this is too rigid and outdated, and a lot of my students want to play for enjoyment instead of trying to be the next Mozart. I ask my students what their personal goals are, whether it be to be able to understand basic concepts and make their own music, learn fundamentals and go through a traditional classical curriculum, or just playing casually so they can enjoy the art of music. From there, I build a lesson plan specifically for my student.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I passed the highest grade for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in piano when I was 16. I graduated from University of La Verne in Business and Music. I have a classical and jazz piano album with all original called Hybrid Behavior available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc. I recommend the song "Waves" and "Downtown Boogie" if you can't listen to the whole thing. I also wrote/compose/produce my own music and music for other artists. You can listen to my music on my Soundcloud! I play at several churches, including St. John Vienney's parish in Hacienda Heights and St. Bruno's in Whittier. I am also available for hire for weddings, funerals, quinces, etc.
