About Maxwell C.
4.9
(30)
My 1-on-1 elite instruction will enable you to learn in six months what may otherwise take 5 to 10 years.
I mentor because I love facilitating the enjoyment of music. It's not inherently obvious how to enjoy the learning process of music, so I aim to make the process as smooth and intuitive as possible for my students.
I teach principles of music through a combination of recommended repertoire along with music suggested by the student. I create a custom curriculum for each student.
I am currently studying with Andy Wasserman, a protégé of George Russell: the teacher of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and Ornette Coleman.
My instruction aims to promote the process of active listening and the curiosity of my students, so they can grow into more sensitive and creative individuals.

Max is awesome! I sought out his teaching for my elderly father, who had a long career in jazz piano, plenty of classical training but no actual training jazz outside of his own experience.
Max helped revive my dad's interest and excitement around music, and I watched his skills develop and evolve even as a seasoned 87 year old! Which speaks volumes about Max's patience, attunement, skill and teaching ability.

I took piano lessons for years as a child, but hadn’t played in well over 20 years really. After buying a new piano and realizing I needed help, I chose to go with Maxwell.
Maxwell has a very unique way of teaching. I thought relearning basics would be boring but his instruction had me smashing them in the first couple weeks. In fact, by the 3rd month I was legitimately playing music beyond even my peak playing days.
His approach to reading music made it easier to play more advanced pieces, while he also teaching me to appreciate happy little surprises in a composition.
You’re getting more than just a music lesson with Maxwell, and I would absolutely recommend him to everyone.

I've been a student of Max for the past four years, and I can confidently say that he is a great music teacher. Max creates a relaxed learning environment, leading to enjoyable conversation, making the lessons fun and stress-free. Max's technical expertise is clear in his approach to music education. He has the unique ability of being able to simplify complex concepts which has greatly enhanced my understanding of music. Overall, Max's combination of a relaxed demeanor and strong technical skills makes him an exceptional music teacher. I am thankful for the past four years under his guidance.
