Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I am happy to offer all lessons online with high-quality audio and multiple camera angles via Zoom. I am also offering a limited number of sliding scale lesson slots.

         I have been a committed and passionate teacher of music for over a decade, and am available for private and group piano and drum lessons. I keep lessons fun, inspiring, rigorous, and molded to play to your strengths and address weaknesses. Whether you're just starting out, have some experience and want to learn to play some of your favorite songs or are a seasoned musician wanting to take your musicianship to the next level, I will guide you in the right direction. Sí, también se habla español.

         Between lessons, you'll also have access to
  • Tailor-made sheet music and exercises. Your musical journey will revolve around music you want to learn, suggested repertoire, or a combination of both.
  • Exclusive access to a library of existing and made-to-order demonstration videos.
  • Curated listening, based on your tastes, curiosities and goals
  • Flexible scheduling options
