    Piano - Everything is possible: sight-reading, ear-training, composition, etc.

    I've been playing piano for 32 years. I can teach anything on piano, however my expertise is more in the rock and roll / live music realm, and not the classical piano realm. I was trained with classical piano technique, and I took it to the stage.

    That was just great! AJ is so knowledgeable and is a great communicator. He knows how to share what matters and made sure to give me an ‘assignment’ to reinforce the learnings. I’m a fan!

    As a cover band player untrained in piano or organ, all of my skills need improving--rock organ soloing, fingering and chording techniques, patch selection, and more. AJ has been able to help me with all of that. He's patient and has tons of touring experience. That's especially valuable to me as a live performer. Highly recommended!
