Helping you advance as a musician
Accompaniment
Composition
Jazz and Pop Piano
Classical Piano
We teach and coach people of all ages the love of music and the ability to create music on the piano or in an ensemble setting (eg band). From classical through to playing pop and jazz piano in a band context. We also teach music theory along with composition arrangement. Composition includes working with a Digital Audio Workstation (such as Garage Band or Logic Pro X) to create midi mock-ups.
We believe that growing in knowledge and experience ultimately happens inside the person. Our job is a mixture of teaching and coaching so that you’re growing musically and moving in the direction of your music development goals. We tailor our approach to best suit the student and where they are at in their musical journey.
