Piano

All styles, taught around what you actually want to play.

From total beginners to lapsed players to working musicians — lessons meet you where you are.

You want to sit down at a piano and actually make something up — not just play what’s written on the page. Jazz lessons give you the tools to do that: how chords work, how to hear what’s happening in a song, how to respond in the moment. Whether you’re brand new or have been playing for years and just never crossed into improvisation, you’ll leave each lesson with vocabulary you can actually use.
You want to play the music you love — and sound like it. Not a simplified version. Not a “beginner arrangement.” The real thing, learned in a way that actually makes sense. These lessons meet you in the style you care about and build from there.
You play piano — but you want to know what’s on the other side. How a Hammond organ actually works. What makes a Rhodes sound like that. How synthesis translates what you already know into entirely new sonic territory. In-person students play on the actual Rhodes and Hammond B3 in the studio. These lessons are for pianists who want to become keyboard players.

Voice

Contemporary technique that lets you sound like yourself.

Lessons grounded in how your voice actually functions — across pop, jazz, R&B, and musical theater.

You want to sound like yourself — not a classical approximation, not a technically “correct” voice that doesn’t feel like yours. Lessons are built around how your voice actually functions, so you can develop real control and real range in the style you actually sing.
For students preparing college auditions, callbacks, or working on contemporary musical theater repertoire. Healthy technique that holds up under pressure.
