Piano lessons with Carlos

Best jazz pianist in the business. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in the lower mainland for lessons. Not to mention he teaches all ages, skill levels, and genres. Great teacher— I recommend Carlos to everyone!

Carlos is a master music teacher. He has taught me for ten years. My knowledge of music and skill in playing have improved enormously. Carlos customizes lessons to the abilities and musical tastes of his students. His knowledge of music and skill in arranging music are amazing. He is always kind, gentle and understanding. He knows exactly where I am musically--each new piece of music challenges me a little more, so that I learn something from each piece.In addition to Carlos' vast knowledge of music and of teaching music, he is technologically very advanced: he uses technology to help students to learn and he has sophisticated equipment to deal with online or in-person lessons.Thank-you for the music, Carlos! You have given my life an extra dimension. I will always be so grateful to you.

I have been a student of Carlos for over 20 years. So, either I am a slow learner or Carlos' talent is limitless and there is no end to what you can learn from his musical genius. I can assure you it is the latter.Carlos has a magical way with music. He loves music, and he loves sharing his love of music with his students.He is very patient and happy teach a beginning student how to play an easy version of a favourite song. On the other hand, he can challenge the most advanced student with a mind-blowing jazzy arrangement.Carlos makes learning to play the piano a joy, not a chore.It is a privilege to be one of his students.B.

Best teacher ever! Virtuoso maestro

Carlos Castro is a professional in every sense of the word. He is the best teacher I have ever had. Carlos taught me my very first song at the age of three, prepared me for post secondary education as a music major and showed me ropes in the ever changing music industry that led me to become a professional pianist.Entertainer or educator, arranger or performer, background or foreground music. Look no further than Carlos Castro.

I started lessons with Carlos as an adult with no musical knowledge at all. With his encouragement and help, I am now at Level 2. He allows me to learn at my own pace. He arranges special pieces for me at the right level to bridge gaps in the book and to improve specific areas where my knowledge is lacking. Carlos is always well-prepared. He remembers where we left off the week before and he has a plan as to what to do next. Carlos is always kind, patient, encouraging and helpful. I'm so glad I found him.
