Lessons are meant to be fun and interactive, and directed by the topics students most want to learn. *** Lesson Details *** I'll work with you on your goals. Want to get better technically? Want to learn how to improvise or scat sing? Want to add songs to your repertoire? Want to talk about music business strategy? We'll lay out your goals and work toward them. Hour-long lessons are recommended. *** Studio Equipment *** Keyboard Acoustic guitar Music stand *** Travel Equipment *** I expect students to have a keyboard or guitar at their home, preferably a keyboard. The students should also have their own instrument, and a music stand. *** Specialties *** I come from a jazz background, but am comfortable working with students in whichever style they are interested in (pop, rock, classical, etc.).
