About Ronald
I have taught violin for 34 years and I am a certified Suzuki instructor for Violin in books 1 to 10, viola books 1 to 4 and piano books 1 to 2. I graduated from the Conservatory of Trujillo and taught as a professor at the Conservatory of Trujillo and the University of Cesar Vallejo of Trujillo. I played 1st violin in the Symphonic Orchestra of Trujillo.
In addition to teaching and playing, in 2010 I founded the Suzuki Music School in Trujillo, Peru. I taught there for 10 years. During 2 of those years, I also taught students from grades 1-12 at the Talents Alternate School in Peru. I have a master's degree and a doctor's degree in education.
For the past 4 years, I have given lessons in Palo Alto, CA in violin, piano and violoncello. I continue to perform violin with the Palo Alto Philharmonic orchestra.

I infuse my lessons with a passion for music. I like to inspire my students to not only play their instrument, but to enjoy music and to develop a passion of their own. My classes are motivational and instructive, adjusting to the pace and needs of the student. I am a teacher that is patient and shows care because I believe that any student can learn to play music.
I have taught students as young as 2 years and as old as 65. I enjoy including the history of music in my lessons. I believe that the Suzuki method is genius. I have a working knowledge of violins since I rent, maintain and repair violins myself. I use complementary literature and include popular, contemporary music to help motivate students.
Please sign up for a trial lesson. I hope to meet you soon and help you forward in your musical journey.

Perfect! We’ve had a truly wonderful experience with Dr. Ronald for our two children, who are learning piano and violin respectively. From the very first lesson, the tutor showed great patience, professionalism, and a deep understanding of both instruments as well as how to engage with young learners.
Each session is well-structured yet fun, which keeps the kids motivated and excited about their musical journey. The tutor is not only technically sound but also brings a warm, encouraging approach that has helped both children grow in confidence and skill.
We also appreciate the consistent communication and the flexibility with scheduling, which has made it very convenient for us as parents.
Overall, we highly recommend Dr. Ronald to any family looking for quality, personalized music instruction. It’s been a joy to see the kids progress under such thoughtful and inspiring guidance!Perfect! Ronald is passionate and knowledgeable about music and violin. I am very grateful that we found him, because it has not been easy to find someone who really knows how to teach a 4 year old, but Ronald is very playful, knows how to understand and motivate my daughter , and follows her learning rhythm plus her interests.
- Ana Maria is passionate about music, and now her whole family are students: husband and daughter. Thank God.Ronald's response :

I'm grateful to Ronald, who is, for me, the best music teacher. He's a professional at what he does and has a great musical talent, which he shows in every instrument he teaches. With great patience and love, he taught my daughter for four years, and in every class, he always motivated her and taught her to continue achieving her goals in music and other areas of her development. I 100% recommend him for your children.
Ronald has been teaching my young children piano, and we have been beyond pleased with the lessons! Ronald is patient, creative, fun, and kind with children, and makes the lessons fun and achievable, all while pushing them to progress and learn a love of music and proper technique. Thank you!
