I can help you to play by ear, improvise, compose, and arrange music. My lessons focus on ear training (learning to play what you hear/imagine), learning repertoire (standards, solo transcriptions), and improvising techniques. I have taught all age groups Kindergarten through adult and I have worked as a session musician on many projects for Netflix, HBO Max, Spoon, Sprite, and other major musicians/networks/brands. My lessons are available for all ages in the following categories:
-audio production (Ableton)
-jazz piano
