A visionary piano educator with over 35 years of experience, Maria Torres has transformed the lives of thousands of students through her innovative and student-centred approach to piano education. Her journey from traditional teaching methods to developing a revolutionary, multisensory learning system reflects her deep commitment to making music education accessible, enjoyable, and lasting for all students.

Maria's teaching philosophy emerged from both her extensive formal training and her practical experience in the classroom. Holding multiple distinguished qualifications, including a degree in piano performance from IUDEM (Venezuela), a Superior Diploma in harpsichord performance from the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid (Spain), a Master's in Advanced Studies in Spanish Music History from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and a 'Premier Prix de Clavecin' from Conservatoire Erik Satie (Paris), she brings a rich tapestry of musical knowledge to her teaching.

What truly sets Maria apart is her ability to combine this classical foundation with modern, evidence-based teaching methods. She has developed a unique approach that integrates multisensory learning, cutting-edge technology, diverse musical styles, and engaging games into a comprehensive educational experience. This innovative methodology makes piano learning accessible and enjoyable for students of all learning styles and abilities.

At Pianista Music Studio, Maria's contribution goes beyond traditional piano instruction. She has created an environment where learning feels natural, progress is consistent, and students develop a lifelong love for music. Her teaching philosophy is built on the fundamental belief that everyone is musical – they just need the right guidance and approach to unlock their potential.
