I’ve been a professional musician, touring nationally and internationally all my life. But there is another side to what I do. For over 30 years I’ve been teaching piano and guitar to hundreds of students, ages 5 to adult. Recently I’ve transitioned my students to Zoom and Skype lessons and it’s working well. My touring is on hold but the upside is I’m now able to add students to my schedule. 

I’m probably best known as blues/jazz/roots-rock guy but I enjoy teaching all styles (pop, TV/film music, video themes) and can turn anything into a lesson. I’m patient with beginners, and have found I can help anyone improve on their instrument. I have used lessons books, but these days I often create personalized lessons for each student using a combination of notation, transcriptions, video and lots of playing by ear. Students can also access my youtube video lessons.
