I just had my fifth jazz piano lesson with Jack. I cannot be happier! He is a delight to work with! You can tell he has a passion for teaching. He is knowledgeable and patient and was quickly able to figure out what level of playing I am at and tailor the lessons to my needs. My playing is already much improved. I am interested in playing jazz standards and currently at a late beginner/early intermediate level. I was a little concerned about trying to do piano lessons by Zoom but it has worked out great! For my first lesson I had my computer camera pointed to see me and my keyboard, but this proved unnecessary because his ear is so good, he can tell what I am playing just by listening. So now I just have the computer camera facing me like a normal Zoom call.

Wonderful Piano Teacher!! I’ve been teaching myself to play piano for quite some time but it didn’t really lead me anywhere but after meeting Jack my piano skills have improved greatly. Jack is very patient and kind and fun! He knows what I need to learn and practice. If you need a jazz piano teacher, I highly recommend Jack!

I really loved our lessons! Jack is very concise in his explanations and never fails to make them interesting. I feel that my piano skills have increased exponentially from when we started. I continue to to see myself improve every day thanks to the knowledge he gave me.

I started with little to know piano knowledge whatsoever. Jack explained his concepts so well, that even someone with no knowledge of music would be able to grasp them and get excited about them. He really understood my sensibilities and interests and knew how to change how he taught me according to them. He makes me excited for the next lesson every time. I highly recommend him.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to start with a discussion of their goals, and adjust my lesson plans to ensure we are always working toward them! FYI: I'm unable to accept NJ students in-person at this time, but am happily to teach them remotely!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelor of Fine Arts from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music Master of Music from Manhattan School of Music
What types of customers have you worked with?
One who was so inspired by our lessons, he moved to LA under the stage name "Franke" to pursue a full-time career in music. His music videos and can be seen on youtube with over 5 million views. I have developed successful practice methods that can keep students interested while improving their skill exponentially. My experience playing multiple genres makes me a versatile teacher that can tailor his lesson plan to whatever the student's goals are in music. I have had many other students over the years as well and have had a wonderful and professional relationship with each of them.
