What if knowing how to play piano isn't enough?

Published 28 days ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader,

knowing piano ≠ expressing yourself

I want to change what piano can mean for you.

You can know how to play the piano and still have absolutely no idea what to do when you sit down to make music.

Modern piano education isn't about turning everyone into a classical pianist.

It's about giving artists and musicians the tools to make music.

Teaching them the components and the language so they can one day speak.

Building musical awareness and inner confidence.

Providing the opportunity to create, express, process and reflect.

Showing them examples and planting seeds of curiosity for each person's unique exploration.

Because what modern piano education can actually do is much more powerful than assuming each person intrigued by piano or music wants to become a concert pianist.

Becoming a concert pianist is essentially choosing the Olympics of piano. And while that's an incredible path for the person who wants it, after 13 years of educating others, I know that most people don't.

So what about everyone else?

Piano can teach you to write songs.

Produce musical masterpieces.

Improvise your soul's truth.

Free the voice of your ancestors.

Heal generational trauma.

Become part of global scenes you never even knew existed.

There are galaxies you can teleport to when someone finally shows you the way.

That's what I believe piano can be and that is what I am building.

Tomorrow, I'll open the doors.

Love,

Dear Reader, Unfortunately, Piano for the Singer Songwriter Producer will no longer begin on October 7 as originally planned. After 13 years of teaching in person and developing my own methodologies, turning my approach into a digital offering is a meaningful and arduous transition and it is taking more time than I initially anticipated. Unforeseen circumstances have also affected the timeline so I have decided to postpone the first cohort. I am still moving forward with the course as it is...
