About Raphael

I'm an avid lover of music and have spent years studying and working with various genres of music. I would love to teach you what you need to get you going for whatever contemporary scenario you are looking at be it; Playing keyboard for church, your song creations, music production, for events... No more guessing!

I'm also a Music producer of more than 7 years, with over 10 years of experience on the keyboard, guitar and piano itself.

Cheers!

About the lesson

My teaching method is student- based and my lessons are based on making the student understand the indepthness of piano. I teach in the most basic way ever and I'm sure you are bound to understand very quickly.

We would be covering these topics;

1. Foundations & Setup

- Keyboard layout: notes, octaves, black/white keys - Hand posture, finger numbering, and ergonomics - Understanding middle C and orientation on the keyboard.

2. Basic Music Concepts

- Intervals (half-step, whole-step) - Scales: major, minor, pentatonic - Chords: triads, 7th chords, basic chord progressions (I–V–vi–IV, ii–V–I).

3. Rhythm & Playing Styles

- Reading basic rhythms - Playing with a metronome / drum loop - Contemporary comping patterns (pop, rock, R&B, gospel, jazz) - Left-hand techniques: bass notes, octaves, rhythmic patterns.

4. Playing with Chords & Progressions

- Chord inversions and smooth transitions - Playing chord progressions in different keys - Using chord charts / lead sheets (instead of full sheet music).

5. Improvisation & Creativity

- Melodic improvisation with scales - Creating fills and runs - Adding dynamics and expression.

6. Contemporary Applications

- Playing along with backing tracks - Using sustain pedal and effects - Exploring different sounds/patches on a digital keyboard (pads, electric piano, synths) - Accompanying singers or other instruments.

7. Repertoire & Performance

- Learning popular songs (chord-based) - Playing by ear - Performance skills: confidence, stage presence, transitions.

Raphael's response
The first meet was good, after the introduction we went over any previous knowledge, and I then explained how the class would be structured and the different topics we would cover. Overall good start.

Raphael's teaching style is such a nice balance of structure and flexibility, you learn proper technique but he also lets you explore the kind of music you love. Every lesson feels really engaging, and I always come away with something new to practice that ACTUALLY feels doable for me. What sets him apart is how patient and encouraging he is, like even when I make mistakes, he turns it into a learning opportunity instead of a setback and that's one of the things that makes him unique. If you want a piano teacher who makes learning both fun and effective, Raphael is definitely the one.

I met Raphael at my workplace and he made learning FL Studio really easy for me as I was looking to recording my live drums. Raphael explained everything step by step and showed me tips that helped my recordings sound way better. I’d definitely recommend his lessons to anyone wanting to get into music production.

Learning piano with Mr. Raphael has been such a great experience. He makes the lessons fun, easy to follow, and really focuses on helping you play the music you enjoy. He was also very amazing in accompanying me, as my first instrument is my vocals, he helped bring my ideas to life. I’ve learned so much in a short time and feel way more confident of my songs. I definitely recommend him.
