Do you feel you’re not making progress? Are you stuck on the same problems, blocked by the same barriers? Have you been thinking that you don’t have what it takes to master the piano?
Think again. YouTube is great, but there’s just no substitute for one-on-one lessons in real time if you want to overcome barriers and move forward to new challenges.
Every musician is a unique individual with different goals, skill sets, and challenges. Some want to play classical piano and some want to rock out with a band or play blues organ. Some love Broadway and some want to play jazz. Others are singer-songwriters who want to write better songs and accompany themselves.
Some may struggle with playing what they hear, others struggle with speed or accuracy, consistent rhythm, and/or performance anxiety. Others find that learning new repertoire takes too long. All encounter repetitive stress to some degree.
It’s All About You
When you have a coach who takes the time to craft a plan specifically for you, things change dramatically. You’re no longer stuck in the same old ruts. Old problems become distant memories. Achieving goals is no longer a dream. It’s an everyday thing.
Personal coaching is ESPECIALLY important when it comes to developing technique — that special sauce that makes your playing look and feel effortless. Technique is the ability to perform efficiently with ease. Technique is the foundation of artistry.
It is crucial to learn proper technique so that you can advance quickly, enjoy the process along the way, and keep playing for a lifetime, free from injuries and repetitive stress. But technique is most the difficult thing to learn from videos.
As your coach, I help you set goals and I design a work plan to get it done. I evaluate your progress in live sessions and we make adjustments together to keep you moving forward. You practice and come prepared to our meetings.
Zoom
I have a pretty cool digital studio with various camera angles and digital displays that make it easy to see exactly what I’m discussing, demonstrating, etc. I think you’ll like it!
Locals
Join me in my studio in Joshua Tree. In some cases, I can meet with you at your piano in the Palm Springs area and in the High Desert region around Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley.
Getting Started
Take a look around my site and my channel, get to know me a bit. When you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get serious, shoot me an email or pick up the phone. Yes, I actually take calls.
If you dream of expressing yourself with music, get a good coach and get started. Five years from now, you can be five years further along, or you can be right where you are now, still dreaming about it. The choice is yours.
