Welcome! My teaching focuses on my student's strengths and reasons for learning. I ensure that students are taught from a personalized curriculum that brings them closer to their goals while emphasizing the music fundamentals that will prepare and enrich them for life. I am passionate about piano, saxophone, theory/composition, and songwriting. I believe I can engage any curious or dedicated student with this eclectic mix of perspectives and experience.

    Mr. Obie is an incredible piano teacher. Not only is he a gifted musician but he is a truly gifted teacher. Obie makes piano fun for our 10-year old son. He finds what interests the kids (in my sons case - football) and talks to them about their interests before the lesson begins. My son not only looks forward to the lessons but enjoys practicing piano because Obie has him playing music that he enjoys. My son has progressed so much in piano and it is all because of Obie. He is so invested in each child and their musical progression- 100% recommend Obie - he is the best.

    Mr. Obie is an absolutely amazing music teacher and has become like a member of our family. Obie has been working with our 10 year-old son for over two years on piano and we could not be happier. Obie is a testament to teaching kids that not only is it cool to play piano (among his many instruments), but it’s so much fun. There’s nobody I would rather have instructing my son than Obie and there is nobody our son would rather learn from. He looks forward to his weekly piano/fantasy football/lacrosse/yo-yo lessons with Obie.

    Our son began working with Obie as a six year old in 2020. We were instantly amazed at Obie’s ability to connect with our son and teach him virtually. Not only does Obie convey the fundamentals, he makes a point to pick pieces that are in line with our son’s interests and musical tastes. We appreciate Obie’s commitment to our son’s musical development and also appreciate his strong rapport with his students—and his good humor!

    Obie has been working with our 11 year old daughter for less than 2 years. In that time, we have seen her skills and confidence at the piano grow. Even more, we have seen a direct correlation in her overall skills and confidence in life. We couldnt be happier with the Obies manner, tone and style as an instructor. He has a way of pushing our daughter to her capabilities without overwhelming her. We would highly recommend him.

    Gustave has been teaching piano lessons to my 8 year old for 2+ years. In addition to being an expert in music Gustave is also an expert in teaching others how to play. There have been many instances where my boy had challenges learning more complex pieces but Gustave is always able to break it down in the simplest terms to enable learning. My boy has progressed immensely in this program, I could not recommend Gustave as an instructor more.

    Mr. Obies really patience with my son is most important to me as the parent and he presents the information about music in a way that keeps my son excited about putting that information to use as well. I hardly have to tell him to practice because he already wants to. Im very pleased with my choice. Thank you Lessons.com!

    Frequently asked questions

    I studied Music at The Hartt School of Music, where I graduated with a degree in Music Management with a Jazz Performance Emphasis. I have performed with several bands and performing organizations and have participated in several music festivals including The Havana International Jazz Festival and several East Coast Jazz Festivals.

    My lessons are $45/half-hour and $80/hour. Half hour lessons are recommended for beginners, but eventually an hour will be needed. I charge for lessons in 10-week sessions, which are $450/half-hour lessons for 10 weeks and $800/hour lessons for 10 weeks. 10-week sessions are all agreed to under a standard contract, which also serves as a receipt.

    I have taught music all of my musical career. Being a music teacher naturally presents itself as you grow as a professional musician. I started seriously teaching in 2005, and have run several music programs in my career.

    I have worked with all age ranges in students. I start lessons at 5 years-old, but have enjoyed teaching and mentoring older students who have become proficient in music. Several of these students have moved on to pursue musical careers.
