Welcome!


The Piano Academy is a place for you to get resources to practice, learn and teach piano more effectively.

The Piano Academy is the result of my experience as composer and piano teacher  of a wide range of students, from very young children to teens and adults. Adapting to the different learning styles is the challenge of every effective teacher, and here you will find some resources that have worked well for me over the years.

My approach: teach piano through the senses, promoting creativity and motivation.

What we offer

Individual piano lessons online
One-to-one coaching sessions for teachers
Resources for piano teachers
Resources for self-learning pianists
...
and much more!
 
Testimonials
"Learning from Daniel Fajardo is one my greatest rewarding experiences. As a mentor and teacher trainer he empowers and guides with meaningful resources, ideas and the warmest support. I had the pleasure of having him in the Czech Republic teaching my piano students  in a wonderful and enriching workshop every family remembers with kindest affection. Daniel´s vast knowledge of music, pedagogy and human neuropsychology, along with his teaching skills make him an invaluable role model for us all teachers."

— Maria Bengoechea, Piano and Montessori Teacher (Prague)

"... a talented educator who truly understands piano pedagogy. Wonderful resources Daniel, Thank you!"



— Nancy Birse, Piano and Early Childhood Education Teacher (Abeerdeen)
"Being a fly on the wall in Dani's lessons is inspiring at every level. As a teacher, I admire his skills and tools to teach students technique and musicianship. He has the gift of being no nonsense while meeting the person in front of him exactly where they are. From the mother's seat, it is a joy to see how he creates an ideal environment for my child to be excited about learning. I have great respect for him as a musician and love how he brings himself as a pianist into the lesson, inspiring children and parents alike. As a person, he sets an example of how to relate to others with integrity, curiosity, care and always a touch of humor!"
