About
About me;
I play and teach the piano, guitar, and bass guitar, and I am located in Cleveland, Ohio.
I attended Cleveland State University where I studied the piano, with a major in Music Theory and Composition. I have been a musician all my life; playing, composing, recording, and touring, but have been concentrating on teaching for the past 23 years.
My students are from all proficiency levels and all age groups.
I have been on the staff of the Broadway School of Music for twenty-three years, and have also taught at Memphis Ridge Music (now Santana Bros Music), the Family Learning Center for Music in Twinsburg, in the Cleveland Public School system, and at the Beck Center for the Arts.
I am currently teaching lessons in my home studio and online.
Lessons are $17 for 30 minutes, $25 for 45 minutes, and $32 for an hour.
For a reasonable fee, you get quality instruction in a relaxed, professional and safe environment.
