Meet the Teacher.
Hi! I’m Esteban Tamashiro, a professional composer and piano teacher with over 15 years of teaching experience.
My musical journey began at the age of six when my grandfather introduced me to the piano. A few years later, I started formal lessons at the Yamaha Music Academy, where after completing the Yamaha Music Education System, I joined the Academy's staff as a Certified Piano Teacher at the age of 19.
After graduating with a Degree in Music Composition from the National University of Córdoba, I was awarded a full scholarship to pursue my Master’s Degree in Music Composition and Education at the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona, Spain.
As a Composer
As a composer, I have collaborated with video game companies around the world, writing music for PlayStation, Nintendo, and PC titles, including internationally recognized projects such as Genshin Impact. My work also extends to film music, earning a nomination at the 2021 Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) for Best Original Score for a Live-Action Short Film.
In 2024, I was honored to compose the music for the Three Kings parade of Barcelona, a large scale live-event.
Press
My work has been featured in a variety of media outlets, highlighting my journey as a composer and educator. I was interviewed on Canal 10’s “Pioneros”, a series showcasing influential figures, and featured in the Okinawa Times (Japan), which covered my background as a third-generation Okinawan musician from Argentina.
In 2021, I was honored with a nomination for Best Original Score for a Short Film at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA).
I’ve also been featured in other media, including Radio Nacional Clásica, La Plata Hochi, and several publications highlighting my international projects.
As a Teacher
Throughout my career, I have taught piano and music composition to students of all ages and levels, working at institutions such as the Provincial University of Córdoba, Yamaha Music Academy, Liceo Grl. Paz High School, and Piano Lessons Dublin.
Every student learns differently, and I always aim to create a space where they feel supported, challenged, and inspired. Whether it’s a child taking their first steps at the piano or an adult returning to music after years, I adapt my lessons to meet their individual goals and pace. I’ve also helped students prepare successfully for RIAM exams, up to Grade VIII.
Feel free to contact me via email or WhatsApp to schedule a video call consultation.
What Students Say.
"Esteban is an incredible piano teacher, very passionate about the piano. He is very patient and explains everything really well. My daughter is preparing for Grade 7 RIAM exam and we can honestly say Esteban has been the best piano teacher she has had."
Valerie O'Connor, Dublin
"My daughter has been improving so much since she started her lessons with Esteban. He is very professional. I like that he has a well thought out lesson for Alana every session. She looks forward to her lesson every sat! Thank you!
Katherine Defex, Dublin
"I’ve been taking lessons with Esteban for a while now. He organizes the lessons really well and I can see my playing improving every month. I just passed my Grade 5 and I feel like I’ve made real progress. I’m very happy with the process. I had lessons before in other academies, but with Esteban I feel he really follows your progress and structures the lessons very well."
Daniel Artaza, Dublin
"I've been working with Esteban weekly as my music composition/production teacher for more than 3 years now and I have nothing but good things to say about the experience! He is an excellent mentor who is always challenging me to learn and improve. I'm always impressed by both his skills and knowledge of music, and I honestly can't think of a time when I asked a question and he didn't have an informative and insightful response. I highly recommend him to anyone with an interest in honing their skills and exploring their artistic potential. I'm incredibly grateful to have found such an excellent teacher and I'm personally looking forward to many more years with Esteban!"
Dan Cummins, US
"Esteban is a great teacher. He has a vast knowledge and is able to answer all my questions, no matter how difficult. We covered harmony, cadences and more challenging topics such as secondary dominants to enrich my toolkit for my own compositions and he is able to explain them clearly."
Aurelia Ciblis, Germany
