About
Hi, I’m Malena — a classically trained pianist and piano teacher based in Salt Lake City, Utah. For the past seven years, I’ve been helping students of all ages discover not only how to play music, but how to speak it fluently. My background as a scientist shapes my teaching style, giving me a unique, pattern-based approach to music. I see music as a language, guiding students to recognize patterns, think creatively, and make the piano their own voice through improvisation, arrangements, and original compositions.
My goal is for every student to feel confident both reading sheet music and expressing themselves freely on the piano.
