FYI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I can help you learn to play ANY song. I’m a musician who is both highly trained\/educated and highly experienced as a live performer. I’ve also been a teacher for most of my professional life. I’d love to share my wealth of knowledge and experience with you.

As a pianist and singer, I’ve traveled the world with superstars, performed as Music Director on Broadway (New York City), and was featured on television with Arsenio Hall on his come-back show (2013-2014). I’ve spent many years performing for dignitaries, celebrities and vast live and broadcast audiences. I’ve earned several degrees in classical piano (degrees from Oberlin and Stanford, additional study at UC Berkeley and Mills College).<\/p>\n\n\n\n What you can expect to learn: Brief Bio: If you are interested in setting up a private lesson \/ coaching session, please email me and I’ll follow up with available dates and times.
