Andrea Léon

Cello & Piano

Music has been an essential part of my identity since the age of seven, when I began my formal training at the Conservatorio de Música de Carabobo in Valencia, Venezuela. There, I studied both piano and cello, and over the years, I completed a rigorous program that led to earning my professional musician’s diploma. My education included advanced coursework in composition, harmony, solfège, and music history, which laid the foundation for both my technical skills and my deeper understanding of musical structure and expression.

Throughout my time at the conservatory, I actively participated in the symphony orchestra, performed solo recitals, and took part in chamber music ensembles, including quartets and orchestral solos. These experiences developed not only my performance ability but also my collaborative skills and musical interpretation.

After relocating to the United States, I continued my piano and cello studies, expanding my musical perspective and engaging with diverse styles and teaching approaches. One of the highlights of my musical journey in the U.S. has been the opportunity to perform as a cellist in a Florida symphony, which allowed me to continue growing within a professional orchestral setting and connect with a broader musical community.

My approach to teaching blends the discipline and depth of classical training with a personalized and student-centered mindset. I strive to inspire others through music, using it as a tool not only for technical mastery but also for emotional expression and cultural connection.

My musical journey reflects the influence of both Venezuelan and American environments, cultures, and traditions. Through each experience and transition, I have come to view music as a powerful bridge between people and places—one that I am committed to sharing through both performance and education.
