I've always found that my students who seem to have the most fun are the ones who progress the fastest, so my primary method is to approach lessons with material that students are interested in. I try to keep things fun and interesting by doing things such as incorporating a student's favorite music into a lesson. It's important for a student to practice regularly with discipline and focus. However based on my experience, nothing propels a student forward faster than the happiness and satisfaction gained from 'nailing' a new lick or figuring out a cool new trick. Read More

Behind every good concert artist is a fabulous music educator. Having had my share of world class instructors, I understand the significant role that a teacher plays in the emotional, mental, and musical development of a student. In Nashville, I play for special events at the Nashville Symphony and at private events and galas in the Greater Nashville Area. In France, I studied with world famous artists and pedagogues, earning a teaching legacy that is only five piano professors away from Ludwig van Beethoven. Read More

Music can be very complex, but it also can be very simple when broken down into parts. As a former soccer/football coach, I focus on mastery of the fundamentals thru consistency.

My instruction will give you the confidence and accountability to grow as a musician so that you can enjoy your craft as much as I do. Read More
