Our mission is to help students explore their own musical talent.
The Windnotes staff is professional, friendly, and family-oriented. Mr. Ricardo is musically competent, works well with all ages, and his professionalism transfers over to the student musicians. He’s serious about the work, but demonstrates fun, love, and care at the same time. We highly recommend Windnotes. Regardless of one’s level and music ability, they believe in their students and provided them with opportunities to perform across the city.

Our son started taking piano lessons with his teacher, Mr. Ricardo, since he was about one year old. Mr. Ricardo discovered our son’s interest as a teacher at his daycare. We have watched our son gone from playing the piano with one finger to playing Beethoven at tremendous speed, as Mr. Ricardo repeated, “the slower you go, the faster you can get there.” This phrase is regular phrase in our household. From day one of teaching our son, Mr. Ricardo has displayed tremendous patience and professionalism. He guides, encourages, and pushes our son to do his best. He has become a true role model! One of the best decisions we have made for our son as parents is having Mr. Ricardo as his piano teacher. We recommend him/Windnotes highly, with absolutely no hesitation! When asked how he feels about Mr. Ricardo, our son said, “he is just like my 3rd grade teacher, just way, way cooler!”

We Believe…
Music is a universal language that is accessible to everyone. As such, we teach from toddler age to 100. All of our students display a passion for exploring the arts and we enjoy guiding their creativity to reach new heights!
To educate in the field of music (or any art form really) being talented and passionate is important. The other equally important factor is Compassion and flexibility to meet students where they are. Every gain should be celebrated and we do just that.
We believe in establishing solid relationships with individuals, families, schools/universities, nonprofits, and corporations i.e. the community-at-large. Through these relationships, we are able to provide arts in the community that is accessible and engaging.
