Bring a tune you love, a musical question, or simply the wish to begin.
In our live lessons, we'll play, listen, and try ideas together.
We might find a richer chord voicing, give a melody more room to breathe, or get a rhythm sitting just right.
Piano and jazz piano are my specialties.
Singers, trumpet players, and musicians on other instruments are welcome too.
We can meet online wherever you live, or at my grand piano in South Austin.
Start with one lesson.
Let's hear what you're working on.
An introduction from Austin’s AI avatar. Your coaching and feedback come personally from Austin.
A lesson shaped around you.
Your first lesson starts with a conversation and a little music, wherever you’re starting from. Bring a song you love, a passage that’s giving you trouble, or simply the wish to begin. We’ll play, listen, and find something you’re excited to come back to at home. You can learn for the pleasure of playing, prepare for a performance, or build a regular practice.

Is this a good fit?
Beginners, returning musicians, students, and working professionals are welcome. Tell me about your instrument, interests, and goals and the music you would love to be able to play.
The experience behind the lesson
My work as a pianist, arranger, and music director connects the details of a lesson to the bigger musical picture. We can work on technique, then hear how it changes the phrase or song.
