Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I also happen to score in the top 1% of my SAT every time I took it. I have studied with several prominent musicians. Unfortunately they have all passed away at this time. I studied with Don Haas, Charles Gustavson, and Thomas Larada. I am also quite capable of helping students with their college work and helping them succeed in their classes as a tutor for that. I actually finished the final exam for theory in 20 minutes and scored a perfect score in 6 quarters of theory. Read More

I believe that everything begins with fundamentals. That being said, it's most important to learn what the students goal is.
