I teach the basics of theory and have some great tools to make composing your own music easy - your creative mind, time spent in silence and imagination will do the rest!
Being a late beginner or intermediate/advanced piano/guitarist will pretty much be mandatory, unless you are a beginner and want to learn to play first. I can help anyone explore their creative abilities ... and at any level.

I highly recommend Gary!"



I love her. She is so sweet, she is amazing. I can’t believe how much I have improved on my songwriting, voice and playing and I wish I had found her sooner. I would tell all my friends and any one interested in piano, voice, music theory, songwriting or anything having to do with music, to take lessons with her. She is a miracle worker. Incredible and gracious, can’t say enough good things about Fawn!"
