About

I’m Gonzalo Carrera Pazos, a multilingual teacher and musician based in London, with 15+ years of private lessons in piano and Spanish. I specialize in classical repertoire as well as modern jazz, supporting students of all ages and levels through strong technique, music theory, improvisation, and exam preparation (ABRSM and Trinity). Alongside teaching, I’ve worked with established artists and bands, supporting studio sessions and live performances.

I enjoy creating a calm, motivating learning experience for people from different cultural backgrounds, whether in-person or online via tools like Zoom and Skype. As a customer-focused professional, I’m known for clear communication, patience, and problem-solving—helping learners and clients set goals, track progress, and feel confident in both music and everyday language.
