You’ll go faster with precise guidance
Joyful, rapid progress for passionate adult pianists—with expert, actionable feedback.
Play with ease, not tension
I fix the movements that hold you back, help you structure your practice so changes stick under pressure. You’ll feel it in your hands and hear it in your sound.
Why Progress Lasts Here.
Adult-only focus. Practice strategies rooted in performance psychology and neuroscience. Precise, do-this-today feedback.
Results you can feel & hear
50+ years teaching. Carnegie Hall performance. I rebuilt my technique after an injury through the Taubman Approach. A decade with Dr. Noa Kageyama on performance psychology. Neuroscience based practice methods with Dr. Molly Gebrian.
Student results: one featured on From the Top and now a Yale music professor, and a gold-medal winner in a major competition. This is a system, not a guess.
Practiced for years… and still stuck?
The music in your head doesn’t match what comes out of your fingers.
You put in the hours, but whether it’s tension, discomfort, or simply not knowing what to do next, the results just aren’t there.
Here’s why
Beautiful playing takes two things that always go together — knowing the sound you want, and knowing the movements that make it happen. Without both, progress stalls.
Add one more piece most pianists never learn — how to practice so your brain locks it in — and you’ll finally play with ease, confidence, and joy.
If the journey isn’t joyful, what’s the point? Music should make your life better, not harder.
