musical language.
Guided by a working artist, from first note to advanced expression.

Pricing
Lessons start at $75 / hour.
Sliding scale available for students with financial need. Reach out and we’ll figure something out.
Do I need any prior experience?
Not at all. I teach beginners from scratch and advanced players refining their craft. First lessons are always diagnostic — we figure out where you are and where you want to go.
How often should I take lessons?
Most students progress fastest with weekly lessons. Bi-weekly works for self-directed learners. Intensive single sessions are also available.
Do I need an instrument?
For piano, a keyboard with weighted keys is ideal (88 keys recommended). For guitar, any acoustic or electric will do. If you're in-person, you can use mine while you figure out what to buy.
What ages do you teach?
Adults and teens (13+). I'm most effective with self-motivated students who genuinely want to learn.
Online scheduling coming soon.
In the meantime, send a message and we’ll get you booked.
First session is always exploratory. We figure out where you are and where you want to go.
