​


FAQ
Do you teach beginners?
Yes. We start with fundamentals right away and keep everything connected to the music you want to play

Do you teach adults?
Yes. My preferred format is 1 hour lesson. Adults often progress quickly when the practice plan and lesson focus are tailored to their interests

Do you teach reading or can I learn to play by ear?
Both. Ear training is one of the most practical skills you can develop and we also teach reading in a straightforward way. Many students build reading naturally as part of learning songs.

Do you teach synth programming and music production?
Yes. Synth programming, sound design and composition/arrangement are part of the curriculum where they fit your goals.

What is a typical lesson like?
​You'll get hands -on instruction and a clear weekly practice plan you can actually follow.
​
Depending on your goals, we can focus on:
Piano/Keyboard technique (hands, coordination, efficiency)
Playing by ear and learning songs ( how to hear, match, and play)
Music reading fundamentals (taught in a friendly, step-by-step way)
Rhythm, timing, groove, and musical feel
Harmony and music theory (taught as needed to support what you're playing)
Synthesizer programming and sound design
​Music production basics (creative workflow, arranging, and getting results)
Composition and arrangement
​Memorization and performance skills



What will our first lesson be like?
We will discuss any prior musical experience you have (if any), discuss your musical preferences and goals and develop a plan of action to achieve them as quickly as possible!
