Frequently asked questions

We meet for 30 minutes once a week. I design the lessons around learning to read music, proper technique, and theory using a combination of music that I choose and songs/pieces the student would like to learn. The student will also begin learning to read chord changes and lead sheets as well.

I have been playing/studying music most of my life. 28 years of playing and performing. The majority of my training is in Classical piano, learning pieces by the classical masters such as Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Rachmanioff etc., and in my early 20's I began studying Jazz/blues piano extensively. Sprinkle in  a lot of pop, rock, and gospel, and I can pretty much teach you to play any style you want! I have played for weddings, parties, in jazz and swing bands, church groups, rock/blues bands, played numberous recitals and solo performances, as well as singing in choirs, jazz bands, and vocal jazz groups.

I have a Bachelor's of Music Degree from California State University Stanislaus

I teach students from beginner to highly advanced.

I love going to see a symphony orchestra play and I adore a good jazz concert.

Set a musical goal that you would like to achieve, work really hard, and go for it!
