Modern Piano Lessons
Jazz, Popular Music & Classical
I teach with 3 areas in mind
Technical Work: Scales, arpeggios, chords, theory, exercises, piano techniques
Transcription and song learning: using your ear to copy the great American Jazz players and learning popular song riffs and music
Reading: the more traditional approach of learning from the great European classical composers by reading their music.
