About
The Studio
The Studio
At Vaccaro Piano, I believe in cultivating an inclusive, student-centered learning environment that promotes both technical mastery and creative exploration.My teaching is grounded in a combination of traditional techniques and literature, practical problem-solving, and 21st-century approaches.
By combining classical education with technology and personalized creative activities—such as improvisation, gamification, rote learning, listening, moving, and singing — we can support easy, free music-making.Ultimately, my goal is to foster an embodied and lifelong appreciation for music through piano.

The Teacher & Pianist
The Teacher & Pianist
My teaching career began in 2018 as an in-home piano teacher for a music company local to Atlanta, Georgia. In 2020, I witnessed the effects of the pandemic and quarantine on my students -- who were all elementary children -- and felt a deep sense of duty to help lift their spirits through musical connection. I sought community support from Vibrant Music Teachers and my former Florida State colleague Christina Toole, who helped me prepare an audition program for graduate-level study.Under the tutelage of Dr. Sergio Gallo, I graduated from Georgia State University in May 2024 with a Master of Music degree in Piano Pedagogy. As a student, I served as the secretary of GSU’s Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) Collegiate Chapter. I also volunteered as an accompanist and piano tutor.
Between 2023 and 2024, I was offered sponsorship funding to attend the Chopin Academy of Atlanta and the Chopin Academy of Vienna, a summer program that consists of masterclasses, lessons, and lectures from internationally acclaimed instructors. I also exhibited with Piano Music Database at the 2024 MTNA Conference in Atlanta. Against 13 other competitors, I was awarded the Award of Excellence in the Georgia Music Teachers Association’s Upper College State Auditions.After graduating, serving as the pianist at Conyers Presbyterian Church, and performing at various venues around Atlanta, I moved back to my hometown in Florida. Currently, I am looking for teaching and performance opportunities in the Tampa Bay area.
