About Nene
Hi guys Nene here, I am a professional and full-time working musician and educator; I also arrange and compose as well as play other instruments such as Saxophone and Latin Percussion. My YouTube channel has over 43K subscribers as we speak and you can check it out (just type Nene Fernandez). I have had the privilege of playing on many great stages, Glastonbury Festival being the latest. I absolutely love to teach because I get great satisfaction passing on the knowledge that I have acquired throughout my musical journey.

I have had the privilege of having great teachers throughout my years of study. I was born listening to Classical, Jazz, Salsa, Rock and Pop music. I have been teaching for many years now and it honours me helping my pupils reach their goals, whether they are taking exams or just looking to improve their piano skills and have a great time playing. Music has always been part of my life, how to forget listening to my dad playing really high notes on the trumpet as a child?! Teaching is a beautiful art and all musicians/artists should pursue doing it. These piano lessons focus on Classical, Rock, Pop, Jazz & Salsa styles + the importance of understanding basic rhythms on percussion instruments. After all, the piano is a very percussive instrument. Please check my YouTube channel to get an idea.
Classical Piano:
Classical music is undoubtedly the father/mother of all music, at least that is my view on the subject. In these sessions we deal with different aspects of Classical Piano playing, such as interpretation of each period (baroque, classical, romantic, modern), technique, which involves selecting good fingering to enhance a given piece, or by simply using the arm and wrist in a manner that brings out the best of a musical piece. Exercises to empower the hand and fingers will also be discussed. The above is just to mention a few aspects of Classical Piano playing.
Rock & Pop:
Here we cover all aspects of Rock Piano playing, we also deal with the most common rock chords and progressions. Special emphasis is placed on music theory as it relates to rock including blues scales, chord construction & substitution in the most common rock keys. Pop music is eclectic, and often borrows elements from other styles such as urban, dance, rock, Latin, and country; nonetheless, there are core elements that define Pop music. Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure) as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and hooks.
Jazz & Salsa:
Jazz piano playing is a never-ending voyage due to its infinite vocabulary. The objective of the lessons is to allow the pianist to improvise with a degree of freedom which will allow him/her to express music as he/she chooses to. We shall cover aspects of harmony, voicings, styles, etc. On the other hand Salsa piano is a more rhythmic style, thus, it is important to understand how other instruments work in a Salsa ensemble in order to understand how our piano part fits in. We will focus on how to play montunos plus its possible variations, how to improvise in a Salsa style and many more. Feel free to contact me for further details.

Perfect! Nene is very friendly & relaxed. He is tailoring the lessons to fit what I want. I am learning jazz piano so I can play from lead sheets, improvise and play songs.
I am a beginner but with the exercises and techniques he is layering up I can see an improvement every lesson. He knows his stuff and is full of enthusiasm. I am really enjoying these lessons.- It’s a joy to teach you Jenny, you’re learning fast! Keep up the good work xNene's response :

Nene has to be the coolest piano teacher in Bristol! I’ve never heard my teenager practice so much. She’s loving her lessons - thanks Nene!
Only as Beginner learner, I found Nene through the Bristol pianolessonsuk website. Nene was very welcoming, making me feel at ease straight away and dissipating any anxiety. I can feel his enthusiasm, motivation but also his wide experience in teaching. He is very patient, anticipating our steps in learning and thus giving us hope and confidence regarding on being on the right path. Time flies in each lesson leaving room for motivation to carry on practicing at home between the lessons. I can sense that Nene really knows about the learning process and does guide us in the best way.
I'm an adult learner so was nervous about beginning piano lessons. But Nene's friendliness and patience quickly made me feel comfortable. He's an excellent teacher with a clear passion for music. The lesson is a highlight of my week.
Saw Nene at a gig and I was like right this is it! Thank you Nene for making me fall in love with music again and want lessons. Perfect teacher!
I’m a singer and first met Nene at a gig. I have performed with him several times. When I decided to have piano lessons I had to look no further, Nene was the guy all the way. Perfect and recommended x
Never thought I could have music lessons in my mother tongue (in England!). Nene is wonderful and so charismatic when he teaches. Gracias Nene
A musician friend recommended Nene to me. I’m enjoying my lessons with Nene, learning about chords and a little bit of improvisation =)
Perfect! I could go on and on and on as to why Nene is the best teacher ever! I guess you’ll have to find out for yourself lol! Simply perfect and 1000% recommended!!
I clicked with Nene the very first time I met him. To me it was important to be taught by someone who actually works and gigs in the music industry. To me it just makes it more real because I know the knowledge I acquire in the lessons I can apply to my own projects. Perfect! Highly recommended music teacher X
Blues and Gospel piano are two genres that I’ve always wanted to learn. Nene uses a great approach and methodology to convey the knowledge to me. I’m very grateful that I have found Nene.
I want to recommend Nene to anyone wanting to learn how to play the piano. He’s always so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. I went for Nene because he is so versatile and plays many different styles amazingly well!
I’m learning a bit of classical and jazz which is something I’ve always wanted. Thank you Nene for making this possible. You are a unique and very special teacher!
I’m learning bongos with Nene and I am truly enjoying my lessons. Thank you for your enthusiasm and patience with me lol!
It is an absolute joy to have my piano lessons with Nene. He loves what he does and makes sure you enjoy every moment of your time with him learning music that you love.
I've started as a beginner but already layering up my skills and playing pieces I never thought I could. Gracias por todo!I’ve always loved percussion instruments but have struggled to find the right teacher. Thanks to Nene I can now play basic salsa and cha cha grooves; can’t wait to learn some more rhythms! X
Nene is simply the best music teacher I’ve come across! His patience, knowledge and approach to teaching is just fabulous. I also love going to his gigs when he plays in Bristol. They’re always fun x
Nene is an absolute gem of a teacher. I have a deep appreciation for his zest for his work and his excitement and enthusiam to share his knowlegde. He is a highly talented pianist and musician and I feel so grateful to have him as a teacher! Thank you Nene ️
Nene is a passionate and knowledgeable musician and teacher who will take you on a journey to master playing your instrument. He'll tailor his teaching to help you reach your goals and keep encouraging you along the way. I would thoroughly recommend him for learners at any level!
I’m really enjoying Nene’s piano lessons. He’s made the lessons fun and engaging, while teaching good habits from the start. They are tailored each week to what I’m keen to learn and it’s great to take home a short video each week to help with my practice too!
Nene is passionate about music and makes learning fun!
Nene is a wonderful tutor. He is both encouraging and patient and his passion and enthusiasm for music are infectious.
Nene is very friendly and knowledgeable. His lessons are fun and engaging. His delivers his materials in a clear and easy to understand manner. Would definitely recommend!
Nene has been my son’s piano teacher for a few years now. First in Bristol face to face and on video call since we have moved to London. In both ways, my son really enjoys his lessons. I really recommend him as a teacher ️️️️️
Nene is a fantastic pianist and a friendly and supportive tutor. He has a brilliant teaching space, and is patient and helpful when teaching. I’d definitely recommend him to prospective piano students!
Nene is a super patient teacher with a passion for what he does. I have learnt so much already and look forward to the future!! Thank you so much.
Nene was recommended to me by a musician friend, when I decided to learn how to play the congas. Was I lucky! Nene is from Cartagena, Colombia, a place where music and percussion are huge. His music taste (and knowledge of conga rhythms) ranges from standard salsa (of which he knows numerous variations) to specialised Colombian sounds (vallenato, cumbia) and Cuban genres (guaguanco, mozambique). What I love about him is that he proactively proposes to teach sounds that the average non South American is generally not familiar with. This has massively expanded my horizons and skills, something that I would have never achieved with someone who would tend to focus more on standard patterns. Just show interest and he'll get excited and then he'll get you even more excited! He's extremely patient, gives you time and space to make mistakes and improve, has a great sense of humour and a sheer love for what he does. In terms of class structure, we tend to jam and/or practice rhytms, patterns, variations, and combinations of. We don't do theory, but the truth is that I don't want to do theory. That said, I wouldn't be suprised if he adjusted well to each individual student's needs, so don't hesitate to contact him regardless of your class structure preference. I've learned a lot from you Nene. Muchas gracias pelao! A gozarrr!
I have known Nene for over 10 years. Not only he is an amazing and friendly piano teacher with years of experience in music and stage performances (e.g. with Indira Roman, Aji pa Ti and other famous Latin bands), but he is also such a versatile natural musician and a great percussionist. He has designed a learning programme tailored to my needs. I have always wanted to learn the Montuno piano patterns which I am really enjoying.
I will definitely recommend Nene.
A great opportunity :).
MoradI have known Nene for more than six years as my piano tutor. His integrity and trustworthiness are great . That is part of how my piano skills have developed. Due to his integrity and honesty. I trust Nene
I completely recomend Nene as your piano teacher. He's fully skilled, knows and covers all styles and different techniques. My son has been learning to play the piano with Nene and in very short time you can notice the difference. He's loving it.
Do not miss him before it's too late!Nene is an excellent and charismatic teacher. His classes are very entertaining.
Nene is a very nice, kind and polite person. His life is all about music. No doubt about his knowledge about music and piano. Even though he plays since he was a child he is still learning and improving to fit in in a modern life. And he teaches with passion and smile on his face. He is creative and encourage his students to ‘want ‘to play piano by making his lessons fun and productive at the same time.
Nene is an amazing teacher, always improving the way he teaches, very clear and professional. I highly recommend him! BL
Nene is a great teacher! In all my lessons with him I have felt my skills progressing quickly. I would highly recommend him to anyone! He's also a very funny and easy going person, which is seen in the sessions.
