Beginner, Intermediate, AdvancedI am a regularly performing musician who has memorized hundreds of songs and pieces, making it easy to train any student on the fly. Teaching lessons is NOT just learning notes on the page, it is playing music by ear, understating how music works, and understanding how the student learns.

Justin is not only an incredible piano player, but he is an equally incredible teacher. Really knows his stuff and makes it fun. One of his strengths is his versatility - he can play and teach just about any style of music. This allows his to tailor his lessons to fit each student's specific interests.
