Welcome to my piano website!

My name is Elia Gaitau, and I am thrilled to share my passion for music and teaching with you. With a Bachelor's degree in Jazz and the piano as my main instrument, I have dedicated over 20 years of my life to honing my skills, both as a professional jazz pianist and as an experienced instructor.

 

Currently based in Tokyo, I am proud to be performing regularly as a jazz pianist throughout this vibrant city.

Also, another musical passion lies in teaching, and I devote a significant amount of time to offering private lessons to students of all ages. Whether you are a budding musician or an experienced pianist looking to take your skills to new heights, I am here to provide personalized instruction that will help you achieve your musical goals.

 

One of the key principles that guides my teaching philosophy is the belief that every student deserves to find joy and fulfillment in their musical journey.

 

With this in mind, I strive to tailor each lesson to suit the individual needs and interests of my students. By creating a relaxed and encouraging learning environment, I aim to ignite a lifelong love for music in each of my students. In addition to in-person lessons, I am also thrilled to offer online piano lessons. This means that no matter where you are in the world – whether it's in America, New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, or anywhere else – you can take advantage of my expertise and guidance.

 

Through video conferencing and digital resources, I am able to deliver high-quality instruction to students from all corners of the globe. My piano lessons cover a wide range of musical topics, including ear training, chord recognition, jazz progressions, arranging and composition, reading scores, and much more. I have a deep understanding of various musical styles, including pop, Latin, gospel, jazz, bossa nova, and many others.

​

With my guidance, you will have the opportunity to explore and master a diverse array of musical genres, enabling you to express yourself authentically through the piano.
