Piano Lessons

With a wide background in different musical genres, I bring a wealth of experience as a teacher, along with my skills as an accompanist and knowledge in musical arranging, composing, and production.  I have been providing private piano and keyboard lessons for over 30 years for all ages, from beginner to advanced levels of instruction.  I focus my curriculum not only in the traditional fundamentals of reading piano music, with both treble and bass clefs, but also incorporating instruction in chord structure, rhythm styles, scales, technique and music theory.

I majored in Music Theory and Composition at Judson University and have had extensive musical studies in Classical and Jazz piano, including my study of Jazz organ under the guidance of the late Les Strand in Chicago, one of the legendary Jazz organists and teachers of our time.  Through the years, I have worked as a lead sound engineer, made appearances on radio and television and sang in Carnegie Hall under the direction of the great choral composer, John Rutter.  I also held the position of staff pianist at Stonebridge Church in The Woodlands, Texas for 15 years.

I have served for 8 years as the staff accompanist for the choral department at Oak Ridge High School, in Conroe, Texas and worked with students of all ages, as an accompanist for solo contests and UIL choral competitions all around the Houston-Metro Area.  

With my love of music and well trained ear, I pursued a dream to open a recording/project facility that brought an excellence in musical production services to the Houston area, for over 10 years. Having recently relocated to East Tennessee, I am now able to provide piano/keyboard instruction and studio services to the greater Chattanooga, Cumberland and, Knoxville areas.  I am able to offer virtual lessons via services such as FaceTime, Zoom or Facebook Messenger, as well as in-person instruction in your home. My goal is not only to provide high quality instruction to the student, but to make the experience interesting and fun.

I look forward to talking with you to help you realize your dream of playing piano, or providing an opportunity of learning for your child.
