Learning Creatively at
THE PIANO STUDIO
ABOUT US
Tailor-made Educational Services
My name is Yeli and I am from the Dominican Republic (and Ireland). I have been in Dublin for the last 10 years!!. My superpower is to help people like you learn to love music in the most fun, mindful and easiest way possible.
In my opinion the most important aspects when teaching are: to create a safe space which makes people happy, respected, fulfilled and part of a community whilst learning music.
If all of those are also important for you then you are in the right place to move ahead with your musical journey. I do this work because during the pandemic I have seen the transformation it causes in all of my students.
My work is different because I have personally taught more than 1000 students! And I have created a system based on all those student's needs.
The Piano Studio is focused on teaching music in a fun way without forgetting what is important including:
1. Listening to the students needs
2. Educating and empowering towards reading music (in a fun way)
3. Using music as a source of wellbeing (including some of the techniques I learned in Thailand a couple of years ago).
Most other music schools only teach students to move fingers and students are not fully musically educated.

Music, Mindfulness and Movement
One on One inclusive sessions
This method has been created to support individuals on the spectrum in enhancing their mindset and overall well-being through the use of music to elevate their vibrations.
I incorporate elements from my classical music education, Thai mindfulness meditation, shamanic practices, breathing techniques, and positive affirmations to strengthen self-love, enhance communication, and boost self-esteem, all while incorporating singing.
This method equips students with the tools to self-regulate and provides resources for managing moments when they experience low vibrations, stress, sadness, or overwhelm. By practicing this methodology, they can develop a personal safe haven that serves as a constant resource.
Yeli is a wonderful and inspiring teacher + pianist. She has the ability to connect with each student in a way that helps to bring out the very best in themselves. A seasoned performer, she guides each young pianist, helping them to develop technique & confidence - all while learning to love music"
