Teaching:

In addition to performing, I teach piano and music production, audio engineering, and music theory. Instruction is available either in-person or online. I have experience working with students of all ages, from young children to adults, both in the classroom and in private instruction. My students gain confidence in an array of skills, including instrumental performance, improvisation, composition, and digital music production.

Lessons can take place either in-person or online, and I tailor my approach to students’ interests.

I have also given successful workshops in schools and community music venues on wide-ranging topics, including improvisation, audio engineering, video post-production, and college/conservatory admissions.

I draw on skills and experience I have acquired over the years, including:

• Performing;

• Teaching students in an array of classroom and ensemble settings;

• Composing and producing both instrumental and electronic music;

• Basic music and piano technique (notes, scales, chords, posture, etc.);

• Soloing/improvisation;

• Advanced harmonic concepts (Bebop techniques, Coltrane changes, chord voicings in 4ths, upper extensions, 6th diminished, drop 2, etc.);

• Working as an audio engineer in venues ranging from churches to auditoriums and everything in between;

• Working in the broadcasting/communications industry.

All of these facets have influenced my instruction in one way or another, and I enjoy helping even more people jump into music and audio through my teaching.
