Some piano teachers are very rigid with what they teach...
That's not the case here!
I work around your preferences so that learning piano is a joy, not a chore.
That said, for improv, many of my students enjoy playing Jazz.
Music like:
The Blues
Ragtime
Stride Piano
Boogie-Woogie
The direction we take is entirely up to you...

My method of teaching Piano is unique thanks to the Taubman Approach.
With this method, I help you become more aware of your movements so the piano starts to feel like a natural "extension" of your body over time.
That way, you learn faster and can start playing more complex musical pieces in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods!

I offer a few different packages based on your needs.
