With over 25 years of teaching experience in the heart of Encinitas, I bring a fresh and personalized approach to every lesson. By focusing on your unique interests, we explore how the hidden architecture of music has shaped everyone from Bach to the Beatles and beyond.

 

How do rhythm, note-reading, harmony, and music technology create a more dynamic process that inspires us to dive deeper into the language of music? You’ll play on a stunning Boston acoustic piano and explore other modalities, including synthesizers, drum machines, and loopers. Not to mention you’ll get to record live and get instant feedback on what you play.

 

Once the fundamentals are established, we’ll dive into original arrangements—and perhaps even your own compositions! My goal is to help each student tap into their unique learning blueprint, allowing for a deeper connection with creativity, rooted in the profound intelligence of our musical bodies and minds.
