Students Testimonials

I have been taking piano lessons from Gabriel for more than a year. I discovered a top end professional musician. The lessons includes all levels of music starting from rhythms and grooves, harmony, style understanding, expression and improvisation. I enjoy the lessons tremendously and I feel I had a fast learning curve thanks to Gabriel. Gabriel has the perfect ability to diagnose the level of the student, the obstacles he or she has on the way to the next level and how to overcome them. I was surprised to experience how the lessons on the zoom work well. I highly recommend Gabriel as a piano and a music teacher.Udi Katzenell
My daughters and I are fortunate to be taking piano lessons from Gabriel for nearly three years now and to consider him a family friend. The girls started through their school and we soon realized Gabriel was not a music teacher but rather a rare combination of an accomplished musician in his prime who is willing to teach even young children and beginners. The following year I joined the girls and the three of us have been taking weekly classes since. Being able to take classes from a real performing musician, and taking the girls to see Gabriel perform live with various ensembles greatly affected their attitude towards music, and mine as well, the girls are picking up Latin Jazz and Cuban Salsa numbers from an international level master, as well as level appropriate renditions of whatever song they can think up, always with infinite patience. I get to pick up the piano in my forties, knowing my time is expertly managed with the right tasks and endless knowledge and skill to advance me as quickly as I can take it in. If you have the opportunity to take lessons from this excellent jazz musician and composer don’t miss it.Noga, Mika & Uri Pomerantz
The lessons with Gabriel are a level above all. In a short period of time I learned notes, chords and scales in an effective and fun way that greatly improved me and gave me tools that allowed me to start improvising and play the songs I love even when I am alone. Highly highly recommended!Yaakov Fraind

גבריאל מורה מצויין. יודע לאתגר אותך וללמד את המוזיקה האהובה עליךDafna Papoushado
Gabriel Palatchi is not only a very good musician and excellent pianist, he is also my piano teacher for almost a year and I can tell you that my technique and my enthusiasm of playing just grow up each time I am coming to my piano lesson and I am putting my hands on the piano. Even though I start all the way from the beginning, refreshing my memory of reading musical note, learning the chords, the music scales and the arpeggios, it is just becoming a game and a discipline that make me achieve in such short time a highly level. Thank you Gabriel for being my piano teacher.Sylvie Nemet

“שיעורים עם גבריאל נותנים לי אפשרות להקשיב ולנגן את השירים שלי ממקום חדש-יותר עשיר, יותר מודע לכל צליל אקורד וסגנון הליווי באופן כללי. באתי עם תחושה כי ליווי של עצמי על פסנתר מאוד דומה משיר ולשיר-וכבר מהשיעור הראשון למדתי איך יחד מוצאים דרכים לנגן את אותו שיר בסגנון מחודש וטרי. גבריאל -מורה קשוב ובעל יכולת להביא רעיונות מוזיקליים המתאימים לשיר . והחשוב עבורע- מביא טיפים ותרגילים איך לשפר נגינה באופן כללי הן בהיבט של ליווי והן בהיבט של סולו אילתור עליו. ממליצה בחום לכל מי מעוניין לקפוץ כיתה בליווי השירים המקוריים וגם פיתוח סולו אילתור. “Vanda Alon

Gabriel began studying music and piano at the age of eight.  This led to a decade of Classical Conservatory training and a degree from the Berklee International School in Argentina.

His dedication and commitment to music has enabled a professional career as session pianist, composer, producer and musical educator.

Traveling and touring extensively, Gabriel considers himself a student of music with a global perspective that continues to influence his Latin jazz roots. Musical elements of Latin, jazz, tango, funk, middle eastern, rock and blues, can be heard across many of his original productions, and celebrated during live performances.

Applying this love of learning, Gabriel has toured consistently and extensively with his band across North American and Europe, receiving much acclaim for his original music and passionate performances.

Throughout this prolific 15 year career, Gabriel recognized and developed a unique approach to teaching piano as student-defined music sessions. He creates custom programs specific to the gaps that a student feels are missing in their musical skillset. Lessons can be organized to develop general skills or focused specifically on the technical understanding and application of harmony, technique, rhythm, and improvisation.

Whether creating custom programs to develop beginner students or enabling new directions for mature players, Gabriel provides the guidance and mentorship to make his students of all ages better and more fulfilled pianists.
