Since I was 16 I have made a professional life performing at a keyboard of some description. So that makes for a lot of years of playing.

Whatever you want to play there is a pretty good chance I can help you realize your dream. And get started fast. An integrated approach: Music almost always involves several skills. Below are some of the complementary skills that I can help you with. In my Semper Method, we always address several of them at every session. For example, we record, sing and play all the time.
