I’ve been teaching and performing jazz piano for over 25 years, and I earned my degree in Jazz Piano Performance from The New School University in New York City.
My goal is simple: to help you unlock your potential at the piano and experience the freedom that jazz makes possible.
Through Jazz Piano School, The Proficient Jazz Pianist, the membership, and the 6-month Accelerator program, I’ve created a clear, proven path to help you develop real skills, build confidence, and play jazz piano the way you’ve always wanted to play.
My journey with jazz piano wasn’t smooth — not even close.
Like most students, I started by trying to piece things together.
Learning random chords. Copying what my teacher played. Reading books and collecting bits of information… but never really understanding how it all connected.
I could play some things — but I couldn’t sit down and actually make music on my own.
And that was frustrating.
For a long time, it felt like I was always guessing.
Everything changed when I got to college.
Before I was allowed to move into advanced classes or study with certain teachers, I had to pass proficiency tests in fundamental skills. At the time, it felt restrictive — even frustrating.
But looking back, it was one of the most important turning points in my playing.
Because for the first time, everything started to connect.
I wasn’t just memorizing ideas anymore — I understood what I was doing, why it worked, and how to actually apply it in real music.
That clarity changed everything.
That experience became the foundation for how I teach today.
As I began teaching, I made a commitment:
Not to confuse students.
Not to overwhelm them.
And not to leave them guessing like I was.
Instead, I built a system designed to give you clarity, structure, and real progress — so you always know what to practice, why it matters, and how it connects.
I break down complex jazz concepts into clear, practical steps so you always know what to practice and why it matters.
Instead of memorizing random ideas, you learn core tools and system that you can apply anywhere on any tune you want.
Each concept builds on the last. No scattered learning. No guessing what comes next - just steady, meaningful improvement.
Everything you learn connects directly to real music - so you can sit down, play, and actually sound like a jazz pianist.
A simple framework for all levels that shows you exactly what to practice, what to ignore, and how to reach your playing goals in the shortest amount of time.
