I’m Renan — a pianist, educator, and researcher offering personalized piano instruction in a focused and supportive environment. Lessons take place on a beautiful, well-maintained baby grand piano in my Edgewater apartment and are tailored to each student’s goals — whether you’re just beginning, returning to the piano, or pursuing advanced study. At Crescendo Piano Lessons, I create space for students of all ages to grow their skills and enjoy the music they love.
With a PhD in Piano Performance and over 10 years of experience teaching students of all ages, I help students build a strong technical foundation, develop deep musical understanding, and acquire practical musicianship skills that support confident, sustainable progress toward their performance goals.
My teaching is further informed by my dual doctoral background, which combines advanced training in piano performance with behavioral psychology. This unique combination enables me to apply evidence-based strategies that enhance learning efficiency, promote adequate technique, and support long-term physical well-being at the piano.
