Joe is an amazing find. He is well trained, very knowledgeable and exceptionally kind and patient. I want to learn jazz improvisation. Joe has been great. I highly recommend him, whether for a beginner or a more advanced student

I cant say enough good things about my experience with Joe. Hes an excellent teacher and is extremely knowledgeable in all genres. Joe took me from complete beginner to playing and understanding jazz within months. Hes also very accommodating and always responds, and not to mention, has a wonderful grand piano! A hidden gem in the Sarasosta area, dont miss out!

Joe has made me feel very comfortable and I appreciate the encouraging and positive approach to n his teaching. His explanations are easy to understand and the methods he teaches help make things that at first seem complex much easier to learn.
