Hello. If you want to learn to play and understand piano and music,… I can help you!
I teach, play and compose a variety of styles, such as pop, rock, blues, classical, jazz, and new-age music. I can show you how to listen to a recording and to play it without written music. Also, I can teach you to read a lead sheet/fake book/chord chart or the grand staff for piano. I can teach you simple or fancy chords/scales/songs.
I have played keyboard and or piano for the “Diana Ross Show Review”, “Beatlemania” and various notable restaurant/clubs in Pittsburgh, Pa. I studied music at Duquesne University and studied privately with Frank Cunimondo for Jazz improvisation.
I enjoy helping students learn to play the piano and understand music. We will have a good time.
I can teach you the fundamentals and beyond and help you pursue all of your musical goals.
Please listen to my CD, “Spaces With Time”, on the “Bandcamp.com” website. I hope you enjoy it.
Ready to play? Let’s schedule some lessons together soon.
