Introduction: Right now the market is saturated with teachers just now taking up the virtual mantle. This has been a service I have long offered. Wouldn’t you want an experienced teacher, as not everyone is made to be a virtual teacher? Learning with me is so much more than getting a song and being directed on how to play it. Learn how to read, the technique to play, and the feeling of each genre of music. Can you rise to the challenge? Throughout the year I assign community challenges that can be tailored to each ability level. Learn about performance and recording as we perform for the camera or by audio to share with the music community. Understand the theory of Music better by practicing how to write your own short songs. Learn how to improvise your own melodies in order to express yourself musically. Check out the blog for tips and tricks. Learn in a fun way with interactive and immersive games as well as worksheets. Each lesson is tailor made for YOU and I will make sure that you understand and move at a pace that is just right. When you work with me you get to tap into all the experience I've gained from playing with world renowned artists, with large groups and small, in my own personal career that is still going, and from my time at Berklee College of Music. Even if you don't want to make music your career, learning how to love music and engage it in your life is plenty good reason to learn how to make the most of what you can do. Seeing the neurons connect and seeing the student truly understand a concept. Helping my student discover and understand is the best feeling. But most of all, I just love music so being able to share that with another musician, no matter their ability, makes me love it every day.

My wife and I are taking lessons at the same time. She’s playing the violin and I’m playing the cello. Tai is teaching us both at the same time and it’s going fantastic. Neither of us has played on many many years and Tai is keeping us on the right track. Tai’s lessons are great and she’s such a great teacher. Can’t go wrong choosing Tai as your teacher. You won’t be disappointed.

Tai has the unique ability to make something that is very complicated (piano), and design the lessons for a child so that, they are not only absorbing the material but, they are excited and enthusiastic to continue. After only 8 months, my daughter is writing pieces of her own music and playing at a level that I did not think was possible in this amount of time. I would recommend Tai for anyone that wished to take music lessons.
