Phillip Goltiao
Phillip Goltiao started taking traditional lessons at the age of seven, and continued to take private lessons until he graduated with a Bachelor's in Music Education at the age of twenty-two. Although he started taking lessons when he was seven years old, he didn't develop a passion for music until he was in junior high.
A Word from the Teacher...
My goal in college was to learn how to teach piano in a fun, effective way. I wanted to learn how to teach in a way that students would not get discouraged and quit after a few months,a year, or even a few years. I was taught traditionally, so I totally understood why many people would want to quit traditional piano lessons.
I teach a very customized way. The student learns how to sight read, play by ear, technique, chording, music theory, composition, and improvisation. I also offer many recitals and group classes to help build a community for my students. Piano is always thought of as a solo instrument, and I wanted to show the students that there are more people like them learning music.
