I was introduced to music early on by my parents. Being classically trained on the piano I started playing and writing songs at the tender age of seven. My early piano influences are Mozart, Beethoven and Gershwin amongst others. Growing up, I became even more influenced by Pop, R&B, Funk, and Rock artists from the likes of  Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Prince.

For children beginners, I typically start with Hal Leonard's "More Popular" books.

I am a firm believer in asking the student what their goals are and what they are interested in. Read More
