Juan Arreguin, Piano Instructor

Juan Arreguin is a pianist, percussionist, composer, and educator with nearly a decade of teaching experience. Born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Juan developed a passion for music at an early age. He graduated from Ronald Reagan High School in 2017 and continued his studies at the University of Texas at San Antonio under Mike Mixtacki and Ethan Wickman. Inspired by a lifelong fascination with harmony and composition, he began writing music after receiving his first keyboard at age nine and has been creating music ever since.

Since 2017, Juan has taught private piano and percussion lessons while also serving as a percussion instructor at Ronald Reagan High School, Barbara Bush Middle School, and Lopez Middle School. His musical expertise spans classical, jazz, improvisation, songwriting, fusion, and contemporary styles.

Juan enjoys studying the history of jazz, classical, and world music, collaborating with musicians from diverse backgrounds, and exploring new ideas through composition. He is also a professional music transcriber with perfect pitch and enjoys spending time in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes when he’s not teaching or performing.
