Hello and Welcome to Campos Piano Lessons!
My name is Carly Campos. I am 35 years old. I am married and have two beautiful children. I love music; that includes music of all genres. My playlist on Apple Music can go from my favorite Chopin Ballades to my favorite My Chemical Romance song and then around to Patsy Cline. I love how music makes me feel, and I believe that through music, we can learn a lot!
I have been studying music since the age of 4 and have been teaching piano for 20+ years. During my years of formal music study, I participated in several competitions including the Northern Nevada Music Teacher's Association (NNMTA) Piano Festival, Solo & Ensemble and the Silver State Competition.
I received the highest ratings in the NNMTA Piano Festival 3 years in a row. And, during my Senior year of high school, I received a silver medal.
I have also placed 2nd in both the Solo & Ensemble and Silver State Competitions in the Classical Piano Solo category.
I have had several students enter various competitions throughout the years who have all done incredibly well. Some have been awarded with high ratings and/or placed within the top three participants, dependent on the competition style.
Most recently, I had a student place 2nd in the 2023 Silver State Competition for the Social Piano Solo category.
I believe that learning should be fun. And that includes learning music. While I have a very classical approach to teaching, I strive to teach in a low stress, high engagement environment. I feel that all students learn in their own individual way, and, once they learn the basics, they should be able to, and encouraged to learn the music that makes their hearts happy, whether that be Beethoven's Für Elise or the newest popular music song off the radio.
