About Malena
I have been teaching piano for eight years and hold a degree in Medical Laboratory Science from the University of Utah. I remember the first time my teacher handed me a recital piece — I felt doubtful and overwhelmed. Over time, I learned how to take a complex task, break it down, and follow it through to completion. Piano became the clearest example of that process — a skill that translates to every area of life. As your teacher, my goal is to help you build a track record of “wins.” I’ll guide you step by step, encouraging you along the way, so that each challenge becomes a chance to grow both as a musician and as a person. I have professionally collaborated with non-profits, private events, bands, and recording studios as a pianist/keyboardist.

Teaching Philosophy:
In the 1700s (around the time of Bach) if you couldn’t improvise, you couldn’t work as a musician. Before sheet music was widely available, music was closer to a language that performers were expected to speak fluently. Today, many musicians are dependent on the page.
One of my goals for my students is to focus on developing that fluency. I want my students to create their own arrangements, transpose with ease, and improvise with confidence, on top of reading what is on the page.
Well-rounded musicians play more often and with greater joy. They learn songs faster, explore music on their own, and develop a deeper, more personal relationship with their instrument. When that happens, the piano becomes a source of inspiration rather than an obligation. It calls to them even when no assignments are due.

Malena is a patient and skilled pianist. Her suggestions are thoughtful and always helpful. She taught me some jazz songs and we frequently improvised and jammed together. I could not recommend her more.
