Introduction: I teach contemporary music (jazz, blues, folk, pop, country, etc) and classical music. My specialties are jazz and improvisation. I offer in-studio music lessons in Richfield, MN and online lessons nationwide. My students are performing musicians, casual musicians, beginners, composers & songwriters. They sing, play piano, keyboard, acoustic guitar and banjo. Each of my students has a personal page on my website providing them with easy access to their lesson materials. I have a unique, fun and effective way of teaching music. My teaching methods are heavily influenced by my time at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. I offer multi-lesson discounts.
