Born and raised in Houston, Texas, I revealed great promise as a musician at an early age. Moving to New York in 1983, I became the first African American piano player to play for the Tony Award-winning production of “CATS” at the tender age of 16-years old. After a critically acclaimed 3-year run on Broadway, I returned to Houston and shortly thereafter earned my Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance from Texas Southern University in Houston, the same prestigious program that produced Kirk Whalum, Yolanda Adams and Lonnie Smith.

My teaching philosophy is theory first which means the basics must be mastered. Once the basics are mastered then the student can easily move forward with a greater success rate at mastering their craft and discipline. My methods of teaching are based on the individual student.

Additionally each student is given the opportunity to give constant feedback on their level of progress and suggestions on how to enhance their learning experience. Read More
