Ruben Aldana says, "Its been an incredible experience to have Eli as my jazz piano teacher. Ive been able to see concepts much faster than learning on my own. He has profound knowledge and is incredibly talented. He also listens very intently to what Ive been trying to accomplish and does not withhold knowledge. I absolutely recommend him as a teacher. Great person too."See more

Jeanluc G. says, "I really appreciate this young man’s professionalism. He is worth every dollar. He followed all directions and satisfied my guests’ requests, as he familiarized himself with the music of the last three decades on the piano. My guests were very satisfied. I would definitely hire him again for my next party or gathering."See more

Cassandra D. says, "Harrison is an incredible piano teacher! He is wonderfully patient, kind, and brings a fantastic positive energy to every single lesson, making the entire experience so much fun. I’ve been his student since January 2026 and each session is filled with so much knowledge yet it doesn’t feel like a chore. He goes beyond just telling me about technique and theory by shows me exactly how to move my body so I can play with total ease. Even had a broken pinky and he knew exactly how to pivot our lessons during the recovery! His creative approach breaks down chords perfectly, completely unlocking the ability to play by ear, improvise, and recreate songs. With the chords and ear training I could easily hear a song and start jamming out on a piano on the spot, which is a great party trick :). Harrison helped me find my own musical voice in the most encouraging environment possible. I cannot recommend him enough!"See more

My name is Michael Martinez. I am a husband, a father, and a musician. In my younger days, I was a part of every musical ensemble I could be a part of; I was a percussionist in the my middle and high school's Symphonic Band, a member of the drumline for the Riverside Ranger's Marching Band, a member of INNOVATIVE (a Winter Guard International competing percussion ensemble), a pianist in the El Paso Youth Jazz Ensemble, and a member of the Riverside Choir. I played drums in a few bands outside of school as well. In 2012, I graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with my degree in Commercial Music with piano as my primary instrument. My studies revolved around music technology, music theory, and performing. At UTEP I was the pianist for the Jazz Ensemble, a member of Men's Choir, and outside of school I continued playing in various groups, recorded an album at Sonic Ranch Studios, and performed at Neon Desert Music Festival in El Paso in 2013. After graduating from UTEP, I was hired as the Music Director at Harmony Science Academy. It was here that I taught Music Appreciation, Music History, Choir, Guitar, Piano, and Music Theory AP. After 13 years of teaching in public education, I decided it was time to start my own private studio. In May 2025 I hung up my classroom keys and began teaching privately and focusing on my own music under the name Aztec Caves. Over the last 25 years I have taken care of my musical pursuits, and they in turn have taken care of me and provided me with a beautiful life, family, friends, and career. It is my honor, and goal to teach you this skill, and to show you how music can elevate the quality of your mind, health, and life.See more

Laurie C. says, "To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing to share my wholehearted recommendation for Pierce Emata, who has been my piano teacher for the past six months. Even in this short time, Pierce has had a profound impact not only on my playing but on my relationship with music as a whole. From the very first lesson, Pierce created a space that felt welcoming, encouraging, and challenging in the best way. He has a gift for meeting students exactly where they are and helping them move forward with clarity and confidence. Every lesson was more than just instruction—it was a thoughtful, patient, and often inspiring conversation about music, expression, and growth. What I appreciate most about Pierce is how deeply he listens. He always knows how to guide me through something I don’t understand with just the right balance of clarity and support. Under his teaching, I’ve grown more comfortable at the piano, more expressive in my playing, and more motivated than ever to keep learning. Pierce is a wonderful teacher and a genuinely kind person. I feel lucky to have found him and recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for not just a piano instructor, but a mentor. Sincerely, Laurie Calzaretta"See more
