About Me
Zach Santilli is a Nashville-based piano instructor, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter dedicated to helping students build confidence and enjoy steady progress at the piano. He began his musical journey at age 12 on violin, later learning guitar before making piano his primary instrument. His background across multiple instruments helps students develop rhythm, coordination, and musical awareness — teaching them not just how to play notes, but how to hear and play them on the piano musically. Zach holds a Bachelor of Science in Music Production from Full Sail University and remains actively involved in Nashville's live music scene. He has toured as Tour Manager for Colin Stough and performed at various venues such as Cannery Hall, Analog at Hutton Hotel, and Inglewood Lounge.
Zach offers personalized one-on-one lessons for beginner and intermediate students, focusing on building strong technique, confident note reading, and rhythm skills while learning full songs based on each student’s musical interests. Rooted in R&B, soul, pop, and contemporary styles, he emphasizes creativity, expression, and a love of music. He also gives students the tools and guidance to feel comfortable performing, helping every student reach their full potential and gain confidence at the keys.
