I teach Piano, and Music Theory with Musika.com (started in 2014) and at Gill’s Music in Antioch where I have had my music teaching studio since 2018.

Becoming a pianist is the experience of mastering techniques and skills for proper use of an acoustic piano. Becoming a musician is the the cohesion between emotional, relational, cognitive and artistic development applied to the skills of piano playing.
