Joe is an outstanding instructor. His depth of knowledge and love of music enrich every part of a lesson. He is patient, clear to understand and obviously spends time away from the lesson thinking about ways to help his students improve. Joes Berklee training and background in writing scores for TV and film place him at the forefront of the industry and greatly enrich the teacher-student experience.
I could go on, but suffice it to say, I leave each lesson greatly inspired and excited not only for the next meeting but for that week’s practice as well. What more could you ask of any instructor?

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!
