Piano Lessons
Jazz, African Rhythms & Creative Expression
Techniques & Tips
Individual and group piano lessons.
Whether you are a beginner looking to find your voice, or an experienced player aiming to expand your harmonic and rhythmic vocabulary, my piano lessons offer a holistic approach to music-making. My teaching is built on a foundation of Jazz and African musical traditions, focusing not just on reading notes, but on developing a deep understanding of groove, improvisation, and expressive storytelling.
I believe that the piano is a narrative instrument. In our lessons, we will explore:
- Jazz Harmony & Improvisation: Building a functional understanding of chords, scales, and the language of jazz to help you play freely.
- African Rhythmic Concepts: Developing precision, independence, and “feel”—learning how to integrate traditional rhythmic patterns into contemporary piano playing.
- Technique & Artistry: Developing healthy technique, tone production, and the ability to articulate your musical ideas with confidence.
- Listening & Theory: Training your ear to understand what you hear and using theory as a tool to unlock your creativity.
