Making Music One Note At A Time!
Classical Piano Instruction
From a young child experiencing his first piano lesson, to a retired professional seeking new experiences (or anyone in between), I’ve taught a wide array of students at different stages in their lives (and mine). I bring three decades of experience teaching, performing and studying classical piano — as a college instructor, private school adjunct and private instructor.

FAQs
When to Start?
Too soon?
Any age is a good age to start. Generally a six year old student has the language skills and focus to succeed.
Too late?
It’s never too late to start! Adults with or without prior musical backgrounds often feel enriched through piano study.
When to Practice?
How long?
Two, 15-minute practice sessions daily is sufficient for a beginner to see progress.
Schedule it
Build it in. Regular practice leads to piano playing fun, but it is less likely to happen on it’s own./p>
