My Philosophy
I believe that music should be as rewarding as it is disciplined. By focusing on the why behind the music—not just the dots on the page—I help my students become well-rounded musicians who can sit down at any piano and truly play.
What You Will Learn
Modern Contemporary Piano
Skip the "note-by-note" struggle and learn the language of music. We focus heavily on chord structures, inversions, and rhythmic patterns. My goal is to teach you how to accompany yourself (or others) with confidence, turning the piano into a powerful tool for modern performance.
Conservatory Contemporary Programs
For students seeking a structured path, I offer full preparation for contemporary conservatory grading. This allows you to gain formal credentials while playing music that resonates with today’s styles.
Practical Artistry
Drawing from my background with touring bands and recording artists, I teach the "pro secrets" of improvisation, playing by ear, and understanding the theory behind your favorite songs.

My journey has taken me from local stages with various bands to professional recording artists, and I’ve spent over a decade helping students find their own unique voice on the keys.
