Richard is in incredible teacher - from scales and soloing to my favorite songs, I’ve been taking from him for years, and he even helped me get ready for my Berkeley audition (after which I received a $15,000 scholarship).
Could not recommend him enough. And I still have a blast at our lessons every Thursday!

Had my first lesson with richard last week at His production studio in north hollywood. Was recommended by a friend. Already booked him for the next month. He actually makes me want to practice and shows you how to have fun while doing it. Cool guy, super talented. Also an amazing singer and producer.
