About Nicolas
Students here receive a thorough, classical training—that is to say, I do not simply "teach songs". Of course I train the fingers, but also the ears, the mind, and musical sensibilities, so that the student learns to understand what he/she is doing and why. I teach process, so that the student becomes independent. Ultimately, it is my job to put myself out of a job.
Unlike much of the music instruction one finds today, my teaching is tailored to each student's individual needs. I do not teach from a method, or from a series of books. I teach according to artistic and pædagogical principles that I have acquired from my own teachers Mimi Tung, Santiago Rodriguez, and Edward Auer; my formal education at Maryland, Indiana, and numerous summer festivals; and the artists whose teaching I both received personally, and witnessed in dozens of masterclasses and lessons that shaped my development, in particular Rebecca Penneys, Tamara Sanikidze, Andreas Poulimenos, and János Starker.
Every student benefits from this approach: the young child whose parents want to expose him/her to music, the driven young person ambitious to pursue a career in music, the curious adolescent, the adult looking to continue a rewarding hobby, and anyone in between.
I offer a FREE TWO WEEK TRIAL/AUDITION PERIOD. This allows you to see how things work here, see if you like it, and if you want to sign up. It also allows me to evaluate the student over the course of a few lessons so that I can determine if the student will be a good fit here, and so I can recommend the best course of study.
Nicolás Pellón was born in Charlottesville, Virginia. He made his orchestral debut at sixteen, playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.2 in B-flat major with the Charlottesville Youth Orchestra under Kenneth Nafziger. Pellón continued his studies in piano performance at University of Maryland School of Music on full scholarship, and the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music on full teaching assistantship. His teachers have included Barbara Chapdelaine, Mimi Tung, Santiago Rodríguez, and Edward Auer.
Pellón has given concerts in Indiana, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington D.C. He has taught on the piano faculties of the Indiana University Pre-College and Secondary Piano programs, the International School of Music in Bethesda, and currently teaches at and runs the Nicolás Pellón Piano Studio in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. His students have been accepted to prestigious B.M. programs at institutions including the Universities of Maryland, Miami, Texas at Austin, Houston, Temple University, and Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music; as well as to summer festivals including Brevard, Eastern Music Festival, Interlochen, Rocky Ridge, and the Rebecca Penneys Piano Festival.
