Lessons can include technique, reading, rhythm, ear training, classical repertoire, jazz, pop, improvisation, theory, composition, and performance preparation—according to the student’s goals.

How do I get started?
Send an inquiry with the student’s age, instrument, neighborhood, musical experience, and general schedule. I’ll be in touch to discuss the next steps.
