I come from a family of musicians- I was encouraged to play piano as soon as I could sit up. I had formal private piano lessons for 12 years, played in the school orchestra and picked up guitar and drums in local bands.

My teaching experience goes back to college when I would help out non-piano playing music students for their piano class.

I was also a keyboard instructor at School Of Rock before having to leave due to touring with Nick Moss. Read More
