About your piano coach

Trained initially by ear, I developed a natural sensitivity to melody, harmony, and rhythm long before beginning formal instruction. This aural-first approach laid the groundwork for a later deep dive into traditional jazz studies, where I refined my skills in improvisation, theory, and performance. My teaching integrates both worlds—fostering creativity and musical intuition while grounding students in the rich language of jazz.

Schekina Grace
“As a singer, I always relied on other musicians to bring the music to life — but working with Melchi changed that. He helped me truly understand harmony and how to hear what’s happening underneath the melody. Now I can sit at the piano, find the right voicings, and accompany myself with confidence. It’s incredibly empowering to have that freedom as a vocalist.”
Camila Cortez
“Lessons with Melchi are super fun! I used to just play what was written, but now I can figure out songs by ear and make up my own stuff too.”
Tirik Johnson
“Before I started lessons, I barely knew my way around the piano. Now, thanks to Melchi’s guidance, I can sit down and actually play music — not just read notes. His ear-focused approach completely changed how I think about the instrument. Instead of memorizing shapes or theory first, he helped me hear and feel what I’m playing. I’ve learned to play a few tunes I love, and more importantly, I’ve started to find my own voice on the piano. It’s been a game-changer.”
Noé Abeni
“I’ve been playing in church for years, but working with Melchi helped me hear the piano in a whole new way. He showed me how to shape voicings that really speak, and how to improvise with freedom instead of just filling space. I’m not just playing through changes anymore — I’m actually expressing something. It’s taken my playing, and the way I serve through music, to another level.”
Chris Crutcher
“I already knew how to play the piano, but Melchi opened the door to a whole new way of feeling and understanding jazz. Instead of relying on charts or theory alone, he showed me how to internalize the music — to hear it, feel it, and then let it come through my hands. That shift changed everything. My playing is freer, more personal, and honestly, it’s never sounded better.”
