I offer private lessons in person at my studio and online over Zoom. I teach all levels and stress the following topics:

  • Piano technique : This includes posture at the instrument, economic and efficient use of body weight to get a bigger sound, fingering and more.

  • Jazz improvisation: Learning how to navigate the vast mystery of jazz improvisation. This includes building and developing on the foundations of swing rhythm, learning how to solo melodically, study of the blues, stride piano technique and bebop vocabulary among many concepts.

  • Developing and synthesizing the two main ways of learning music: ear training and sight reading.

  • Learning how to play different more contemporary styles of music on the piano, keyboard, and synthesizer including including jazz, rock, pop, soul, electronica and hip-hop. This includes basic organ technique, sound design and more.
