    Our first lesson was WONDERFUL. Keith was so patient with my son (6) and explained things in a way he understood. Plus, he was really engaging and made it easy to connect over video. We finished the lesson 15 minutes ago and my son hasn’t left the piano yet!

    Chrisette Michelle

    While working with Chrisette Michelle I created the live show. During practices and performances I directed the musicians in her ten piece band. I had to make sure all the musicians played the correct parts for each song and that the transitions between songs were smooth and seamless. I was told by her and management that I did an exceptional job. I also played keyboards in her band.
