Learn Piano

I have been teaching piano for about 20 years. Most of my students are adults and I specialize in teaching improvisation styles such as jazz, pop rock and new age. Many of my past students now have a successful career as a performer or teacher (e.g. Brandon Bush of Train and Sugarland). If you are interested in taking private lessons or holding a workshop, contact me.

Examples for workshops include:

1) Basic Keyboard Improvisation - learn the basics of improvisation.

2) Making Chords - learn how to create basic chords that will allow you to read and write hit songs.

3) Jazz Keyboard - Learn how to create colorful chords that are used for playing and writing jazz.

4) Advanced Improvisation - go beyond the basics and learn how the masters improvise.
