Teclado means keyboard in Spanish. At Teclado Music Institute students of all ages, from children to adults, learn how to play piano with proper fundamentals. The curriculum is tailored for each individual and like my late dad used to say: “Play from the heart.”
Xavier Suarez is a pianist, piano teacher, and YouTuber in East Lansing, MI. As the founder of Teclado Music Institute, he is committed to bringing the joys of classical music to people of all ages and abilities through his work as a private piano teacher and as a recitalist who performs in numerous venues throughout the United States, including private homes through the newly launched Teclado House Concert series.
