Piano Lessons in Winnetka. Amazing Teachers.

Hi I am a 3x Grammy nominated platinum selling music producer & professional touring musician. I have more than 20 years of experience playing the piano. I am formally trained in Classical and Jazz piano. I have a BA in Arts Management from LIU - CW Post Campus. I have musically directed bands and/or produced for artist including: John Legend, Miguel, Neyo, & Chrisette Michele. I love to teach music and am offering piano lessons to kids and adults, all styles, all levels, in your home or online.

I love to teach beginners, intermediate players and advanced players. I am comfortable if you or your child know absolutely nothing about music. We will work with scales and chords at every lesson and progress through music that is appropriate to the students skill level. I like for students to have fun too!

Hey everyone! I spend most of my time touring the world with A list pop artists as guitarist/multi-instrumentalist, but in my spare time I love passing along the gift of music via teaching. I tailor my lessons specifically for each students needs, and to match their personalities and interests. Wanna learn the basics of piano? Sick! Wanna learn an impressive pop chord progression? Awesome! Wanna learn how to play an Adele song and make your friends cry? I got you!

For young people and beginners I use the Alfreds piano books, they have great songs that students really like and they teach note reading gradually without a lot of tedious memorization. Young people and beginners are a specialty for me.
Advanced students can work on songs they choose and learn how to read chord charts, how to use music theory or how to improvise jazz if they like.

Music has been my passion since starting lessons age 7 and training for years in performance, composition and theory, culminating in a masters degree from The Royal Academy of Music in London, England. Learning to read music well with enjoyment, musicality and strong technique is my main focus. I cover music from different periods in history, including music being composed today. I work with children age 5 to adults with all levels of experience. I have taught children in schools and privately in my home studio where I have an upright acoustic Schulze Pollmann (German/Italian) piano and a Yamaha keyboard with weighted keys. Positive reinforcement is my teaching philosophy and each lesson is tailored to the students needs and goals. Check out my availability and let’s get started!

I won't lie, the piano takes work. But, then again, everything worth while does. Both teaching and continuing to learn the piano has been a passion of mine all through my childhood and into adulthood, and I hope to help inspire the same love of the instrument in others. :)
