About
When it comes to music I've had the opportunity to study with jazz legends Bob Mover and Jason Rigby. Studying with them has given me the tools and has showed me a direct path to better practice routines and developing my own sound and improvising style. Also learning essential jazz piano voicings from studying at city colleges jazz conservatory, I can teach you easy ways to play through tunes that will give you a better idea of how a song is constructed and training your ear to hear common progressions. I'm also a working musician I play with some of the best musicians in the city playing many different genres. I have a BM I'm music performance from city college and I am returning for my MM masters I'n music. When it comes to swimming I've been teaching since 2010 I teach in Tribeca I have taught all ages and I can guarantee that you will learn how to swim,That is a promise. I am a red cross certified swimming instructor and lifeguard.
I enjoy being able to make something that didn't exist before and being able to understand how to Express myself over other peoples compositions.
