Pablo went on to work as a piano teacher at the Conservatory in Matanzas, teaching music theory along with classical and later jazz and other piano styles to children and young adults. At the same time he has worked as a classical piano accompanist at the Conservatory and was selected to travel to Dominican Republic to teach a workshops and perform at the National Conservatory of Music, [directed by the prestigious pianist Ivan Dominguez].
