About Mateo

Mateo helps adults and teenagers build rhythm, confidence and the freedom to improvise. He mixes classical foundations with Latin piano and chord-based playing, so students can read music and also sit down and play by feel. Lessons move at a calm pace and always end with something you can practise this week.
