Introduction: Unlike the traditional methods of learning piano from the classical standpoints of 3 Blind Mice & 10 Little Indians to Beethoven Symphony 5, I focus more on the art of creativity which seems to be a lost art. Through my abilities as a gospel/ jazz musician & music producer, I help people of all ages understand structural theory and push the boundaries that allow my students to progress so fast, they become not only good piano players but in the studio aspect, understand how to create music. It's one thing to learn a piece of music of a sheet of paper but what if you could create your own Masterpiece in this day and age, and who knows even produce your own record!!!! Aren't you curious to endless possibilities your gifts & talents can create? And most importantly where they can take you? Give me a call & let's setup an appointment to get you started. I LOVE PROGRESSION. I LOVE SEEING PEOPLE PUSH BEYOND THEIR POTENTIAL. It's beyond words when I am able to take someone from Level 1 and take them to a place they never imagined or dreamed to be. There is a great satisfaction in creating something amazing & seeing the joy it brings.

Ray is an exceptional talent. He has taught my daughter piano lessons, successfully enabling her to move to a new level. He is intuitive and can translate different genres and styles into easy to understand concepts that she was able to grasp. He shows patience and a profound musical understanding. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a piano instructor.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
yes i do. Because my teaching methods are very different from most teachers, given that i not only focus on standard theory teaching but the studio production which presents a new dimension for my students in creating their own music, i charge $100 per hour (FIX RATE). 30 mins of theory & application; 30 minutes of studio production training.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I usually like to make contact and find a way to assess a student's talent level, which is a great way for me to understand where I need to begin in the process and find out what they need specifically.This comes in the form of a basic skill test.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
No specific educational training, I am self taught however I do know how to read and performing ear training which is my greatest strength. I have had the pleasure of performing behind some gospel giants in the music industry.
