FunJazz Piano @ Lessonface

Have you ever dreamed of learning jazz piano—jamming at clubs, improvising freely, arranging standards, or composing your own tunes? Whether you’re aiming to play in a band, apply to music school, or simply enjoy music as a hobby, you’re in the right place.

I offer live online jazz piano lessons tailored to your individual level, interests, and objectives. No worries if you’re a beginner: as long as you’re motivated, open-minded, and ready to put in some practice, you’ll make great progress.

I’m a Berklee College of Music graduate (class of ’07) passionate about jazz and music in general. My goal is to help you express yourself at the piano and find your own, unique musical voice. As a bandleader, I’ve been on this rewarding journey myself—writing original music, producing albums/singles, and regularly performing in jazz clubs and festivals across America, Europe, and Asia. As an educator, I’m always eager to share the experience I’ve gathered through the years, especially with students who are enthusiastic about learning and looking for thoughtful guidance. The only question is:

Are you ready to take your first Giant Steps into the world of jazz? 😉

There’s one simple way to find out…

The Lessonface platform is super secure and convenient, and their support team ever so friendly and helpful, should you have any questions. You can also message me from my profile directly, and tell me a bit about your musical background prior to booking a lesson (it’s always helpful to know a little more about you before we begin practicing together).

🎯 WHO THESE LESSONS ARE FOR

🎹 Pianists of all walks of life (whether self-taught in any style or classically trained) and levels (from beginner to advanced)

🎷 All other instrumentalists (i.e. non-pianists such as drummers, horn players, guitarists, etc… including computer musicians/producers) who are eager to strengthen their basic piano skills and harmonic knowledge, or deepen the practice of improvisation on their principal instrument

🎙️ Vocalists who wish to hone their piano accompaniment skills

🎼 Finally, if what you’re looking for is pure music theory coaching/tutoring, I can also help you with that.
