Music Performance Lessons in Westlake Village. Amazing Teachers.

Performance skills are arguably as important as music prowess. The student needs to learn how to find the balance between confidence and vulnerability on stage. Since I had horrific stage fright myself, I very successfully guide students through the nerves of inexperience to the joy of confidence (which rarely comes from preparation alone!)

I have been performing for over twenty years

I tailor each perormance to the persons goals, needs, wants, and styles.

I can bring to your a event a jazz ensemble, solo piano and singing if required, DJ, or a dance/pop project RewindStoPlay

The class is for students who have at least some basic knowledge of piano and music theory. Music performance can be thought of as a workshop class to radically improve the performing skills of the student. I will focus on specific techniques which will help the student perform more effectively. Most pieces contain nuances that are nearly-impossible to hear and notice with an untrained ear; however, these small details are what differentiate a great performance from a good one. If you have a specific piece in mind that you would like to work on, please let me know when you book your lesson so that I can prepare the appropriate materials for our session.

Do you sing or play guitar? Maybe bang on the drums or play keys? If you play a role in a band, a duo/trio, or play by yourself, I can show you how to maximize your performance in my home studio, where I have an entire band setup with PAs in my home studio. From performance considerations, to dynamics, my experience playing in a band and performing for numerous judges and concerts will help guide you to your goal.
