Introduction

I have been a pianist since 1974, celebrating 51 years! and teaching since 2005, it is who I am. I live for music! I feel it's important for me to pass the gift that was instilled in me by my first music instructor, Sonny Harris. You will not only learn classical but also learn the blues, jazz, latin, rock, and pop and even start to learn how to compose music and learn how to improvise. My studio is located in the Steele Creek area (South Charlotte) it is a modern,professional, and relaxed enviorment.You will learn how to read music correctly but you will also learn how to feel music and understand the workings of how everything fits together, this is where the magic happens for you will be able to start the process of composing, improvising and truly discovering yourself as a musician!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Yes, I offer family discounts if more then one family member signs up together. I also bring 50 years of experience to the table.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Set up a free trial lesson, and if you like it, we will both take a look at the best possible schedule for you and get you started right away. If it's not for you, there's no obligation.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Studied music theory, improvisation, and jazz at the Robert S Harris music academy 6 years. Played professionally from 1976 to 1998 and had further studies with Claire Ritter in 2001. For most of my life, I have been playing music for 50 years and counting! It's been a blessing and to pass the gift to others even more so.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I used to own a restaurant in Ohio for many years and my wife and I sold it in 1998 and moved to the Carolinas. My wife Ruth,always knew that my first passion was music and said why don't you teach piano and do what you really love so in 2005 I did just that and she was right I truly do love what I do.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Young and old [from 7 years old to 99) beginners to intermediate or advanced pianists that want to learn how to improvise.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Currenty working on a new action film score with some of my more advanced students. It's a lot of fun and it really gets the students excited.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Ask for a free lesson to see how you or your children match up with the teacher and the environment of the teaching facilities.What experience do they have? How long have they been teaching? Is the teacher well rounded? In other words can they teach you how to play many different styles of music? Do they understand chords and music theory? Last but not least do you like the teacher and do you feel comfortable with them.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Do you have the time and dedication? It will take time and hard work.I don't sugarcoat anything. Enjoy the triumphs along the way
