Keyboard Private Lessons
Learn everything
related to
playing the keys
Teaching private lessons in piano and electronic keyboards was my first real teaching gig back at a music school in Germany.
I taught all kinds of piano music, from classical to jazz, latin to pop, and anything in-between, to folks of all ages and levels.
Today I teach mostly contemporary music genres and styles. I am very devoted to educating people in this type of music, which manifests itself in PopJazzKeys.com, a website I created for aspiring pop-jazz pianists and keyboardists, so that they can improve every aspect of their playing better and faster through informative articles, video tutorials, e-courses, and remote lessons.

Notating music for
rehearsals,
studio sessions,
and music publishing
Are you interested in learning how to notate your music for rehearsal, studio session, and music publishing like a pro?
For many years, I have assisted music creators by arranging, orchestrating, notating, and preparing their music for print across various contemporary music genres and instrumentations. Check out what Orbert Davis, the founder and director of the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, has to say about me, in the video below.
As a professor at Columbia College Chicago, I have been passionately guiding students in contemporary arranging and music production for many years.
I offer private lessons via Zoom. If you’re interested in scheduling one or more lessons, please feel free to reach out.
