I am a professional pianist, composer and teacher (12+ years background in classical piano) specializing in beginner piano students. All ages are welcome, with lessons based on the interests/goals of each student. I will help you build a strong foundation in areas such as rhythm, music theory, note reading and technique, and you'll be playing songs in no time!
Piano was one of my first instruments, and it is a joy to be able to share my love and learning for this instrument and gateway into the vast spread of beautiful music out there. I am a performing artist, and in addition to piano, I specialize in songwriting and singing.
About Sam C.
Close Hello! Through my four years at Juilliard I have studied with amazing pianists such as Frank Kimbrough and Dan Nimmer.
Although I majored in jazz trombone, I have been a proficient piano player since I was very young. I use the piano everyday to compose, so I am more than capable of teaching beginning to intermediate players how to properly play. I have a very cohesive lesson plan designed to give any student a well rounded basis for playing the piano. Teaching has always been my biggest passion, I can't wait to work with you!
Contact me for more info!
Happy practicin'!

About Elizabeth W.
Close I graduated from Juilliard with and MS degree, studying with the most prominent teacher of the last 50 years: Rosina Lhevinne. I have taught 14 year olds through college age students the great standard literature and have helped them all develop an exceptional technique and practice regimen. My students have witnessed their progress in the form of self esteem, confidence and joy in practicing and making music. This in turn has given them true stature and grounding to thrive in all their undertakings and goals toward a plentiful future.
