I have worked with Dr. Varela on several occasions as a 3rd year Bachelor of Music Education major and violinist at the University of Georgia. He is an exceptional pianist, accompanist, and teacher. I have learned much from his playing, guidance, and artistry throughout my 3 years of working with him as my collaborative pianist. During jury and studio performances, I am always beyond grateful to have him with me on the stage. His support is inspiring and insightful, and I would not be the musician I am today without his expertise; he truly has been integral to my success throughout my college career!

I have had such a great experience thus far with Dr. Varela's piano lessons. I had no musical background but he put me at ease from the get-go and really started me at a level that fit me and my needs. I appreciate his patience with me and truly enjoy his lessons!

This is my third year working with Dr. Varela as my collaborative pianist at the University of Georgia. I am a Bachelor of Music Performance in voice student and have had the pleasure of singing with him for weekly rehearsals/coachings, my applied lessons, recital performances and juries. His help has been incredibly valuable in my college music journey — offering advice on performance anxiety/mentality, practice technique, expression, and musicality. I look forward to our coachings every week; I always come away from them with a better understanding of where I am at in the rehearsal process and concrete ways in which I can improve. I would absolutely recommend working with Carlos for his wonderful playing, extensive experience, helpful advice, and supportive rapport!
