Introduction: The Clifford Lamb approach is innovative and effective. Beginners learn to function and understand music from the standpoint of accuracy and dynamics as they develop an understanding of classical, jazz and pop from an harmonic and melodic perspective drawn from Theory studies. Students gradually learn to read, play and improvise their favorite Jazz, Pop and Blues tunes and/or learn classical music with a harmonic perspective as their theoretical knowledge deepens. Classes range from very beginner to Bachelor Degree level instruction in Classical, Jazz and Pop Piano performance, Composition and Arranging. For the first lesson, the student will receive a comprehensive evaluation of their musicianship, followed by an extensive recommended lesson plan. Clifford Lamb is an internationally renowned Pianist with extensive record discography as a Jazz Composer-Pianist and recording artist. His supporting cast features some of greatest players in jazz history, including Buster Williams, Cindy Santana Blackman, Nicholas Payton, and Grammy award winning Producer Jeffrey Weber.

Clifford is a wonderful piano teacher and musical role model. He has inspired our daughter to lean into her musical passion more than any teacher she had before. He provides patient, effective coaching with a lot of constructive feedback that has helped our daughter grow both her skills and her confidence. He's flexible with her curriculum and has devoted time not only to helping her prepare for the ABRSM exam but also to pursue her own passion pieces. In our daughter's exact words, "he's the best piano teacher I've ever had!" And she's had many. We are immensely grateful for having found Clifford.

Clifford is a talented musician and teacher. He helped my son develop better jazz musicianship on the piano. He is excellent at teaching music theory in a laid back manner that’s not intimidating.
