He was supportive in teaching me in my own time, did not try to hurry me, was patient , kind and supportive. I believe he is one of the best piano teachers in the Wilmington area.

Ive enjoyed my lessons with Luis. The lessons were very helpful to improve my piano technique and raise my level. I even learned Moonlight Sonata, which I have not been able to even read before. He is a wonderful, talented teacher: passionate about music, fun, great communicator, attentive to my needs and preferences, flexible with his lesson plan to accommodate pieces that I want to learn. Luis has a solid understanding of a students educational needs and how to plan his lessons to instruct based on a students level. He pays attention to a students technique and suggests exercises that are fun and essential for improvement. Its not too much fun playing scales over and over again, but he suggested pieces that are more melodic and fun to play. He is very motivating and I always came out from class inspired to continue practicing.

Luis is a wonderful, smart and talented musician and teacher. His knowledge and passion for music are infectious. More importantly, he’s a compassionate and caring person. The first time we met when I told him I wanted to become a good musician and piano player he told me, “First, you have to be a good human being.” I knew I had the right teacher!
