MY BACKGROUND
Thaminie Perera, FOUNDER, CEO, MBA
~ Experienced Concert Pianist & Music Educator
Since opening the doors to my studio, I’ve been committed to helping students
pursue a relationship with music that they love!
Academy of Piano & Artistry provides a unique and highly personalized method of learning. Creating an environment to nurture, educate, and encourage individuals to achieve the highest level of success.
I bring years of experience and passion in teaching and performing piano. Exhibited a musical inclination at the tender age of four. My parents and I discovered that I could play piano by ear, immediately improvising a piece of music on the piano. Upon recognizing this gift and natural talent, my music loving parents encouraged me to study the arts and enrolled me in classical piano lessons.
My favorite compositions to listen to and play are by Chopin, Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart. I have participated in and won first place in several talent contests and love to share my gift with others!
In addition to specializing in piano, I have a business background and expertise in Marketing and Sales which gave me insight on how to work with people to encourage an openness to growth and get results.
As a highly acclaimed studio, The Academy of Piano & Artistry educates students with the skills and experience they need to excel in the arts. I am a passionate, patient, kind, loyal, and dedicated piano instructor located in Los Angeles. You will leave lessons with a smile and it will be a positive, rewarding, and enjoyable experience for you. I teach all styles and genres.
Annually, I hold piano recitals for my students who look forward to performing.
In addition to performing solo, I perform with various artists in several concerts and special events!
