Piano Lessons with Jose Luis Mendez

Born in the Dominican Republic, Luis Mendez began his piano studies at age 6. Luis attended Estudio Diná de Educación Musical from the age of 7 to 19, until his successes in piano studies and competitions gave him the opportunity to come to the United States to study piano further. He then attended Grand Valley State University, where he studied under Dr. Giuseppe Lupis and received his Bachelor of Arts in Piano Performance.

Since graduating from GVSU, Luis has had teaching experience with Grand Rapids Public Schools and North Muskegon Public Schools where he has accompanied both choirs and solo ensemble performers. While Luis was trained mostly in classical piano, he also enjoys playing jazz and transcribing movie and video game soundtracks. He enjoys personalizing lessons with his students based on their own music interests
