About

I want to start by welcoming you to my website! My name is Ally Santos and I have been teaching piano for over 10 years. I started learning piano at the young age of 10 years old and have been playing it ever since. In 2005, my family moved to the United States where I continued studying piano under Dr. James McKeever, and in 2011, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Music with emphasis on Piano Pedagogy and Literature at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside. I specialized with beginner to early advanced students, preschool age to adult. 

In addition to private piano lessons, I teach beginner ukulele and am a certified Musikgarten Instructor. I have completed courses in Music Keys Program for Early Childhood education in a preschool group setting. 

In my teaching, I hope to inspire and motivate my students to pursue music and more importantly, to have a memorable musical experience. My goal as an educator is to give students the skills needed to become not only a successful player but also a passionate musician.

In my free time I enjoy hiking, skiing, nature, arts, traveling, and spending time with the people I love.
