ari bautista oldale (Piano, Voice)
Registration RequestOnline Lessons:
Teaching Day(s): Monday, Thursday, Friday
Ari is a classically-trained pianist, self-taught singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter with over 15 years of experience in many competitive, creative, & educational contexts. Between Aris involvement in the youth jazz scene and her classical piano training through RCM (Grade 9), she developed a strong passion for the world of music. While at Queens, she decided to pursue her interests in anatomy & the life sciences but continued to do casual freelance piano lessons and explored the collegiate a cappella scene. Between 2014 and 2018, she fulfilled positions of music director and business director for the pop/folk/R&B-inspired ensemble Trillers A Cappella and remained a member until graduating in 2020. During the past few years, her focus was to tap into a unique sound and buckle down to work on writing and producing her debut album, released in April 2023. Now looking to return to the teaching side of music, Ari hopes to use her versatile background in anatomy, music theory, education, and performance to help young pianists and singers meet their goals and have fun getting there. Her intent for future piano students is to help them develop fundamental tools every pianist needs: rhythm, reading music, understanding music theory, and developing a strong technical basis. Her intent with future voice students is similar, with the addition of helping them find their unique sound and exploring their creativity while maintaining a healthy, sustainable, and anatomically-informed singing technique.
Ari charges $26 per half hour lesson.
