Interpretive Music Lessons
$50-$75/Hour (I can supply keyboard or guitar, sorry no drums!)
I offer one-hour interpretive piano lessons and basic guitar tailored to each student’s goals, blending technique, musicality, and personal expression. My easy, encouraging approach helps students transform their songs into expressive performances by focusing on dynamics, tempo, and storytelling. Lessons balance foundational skills with creative exploration, making complex concepts simple through practical tools and clear guidance. Each session includes warm-ups, technique-building, and personalized interpretation of chosen pieces, ensuring students grow their confidence and love for music in a supportive atmosphere. A travel fee of $25/hour unless otherwise discussed.

Solo Performances
$200/Hour + $100 audio set up fee (required)
My interpretive piano performances channel a rustic, heartfelt vibe inspired by the rural folk style of George Winston, blending delicate melodies with rich, evocative harmonies. Each piece is a journey, weaving together the natural beauty of changing seasons, quiet landscapes, and nostalgic warmth. With a focus on dynamics and emotion, my playing brings a personal, contemplative touch to every note, creating an intimate and timeless experience. Whether it’s a familiar tune or an original composition, my music invites listeners to slow down, reflect, and connect with the essence of the moment. I can provide audio for up to 150 people from bar and bat mitzvahs to graduations, weddings and everything in between. A travel fee of $25/hour unless otherwise discussed.

Small Group Performances
$400/Hour + $100 audio set up fee (required)
When performing with a group, my music adapts to the moment, creating a rich and engaging atmosphere. Whether it’s pop layered with a looper, traditional background jazz with a bassist, or a touch of electronica for a contemporary edge, the vibe is tailored to what the audience wants. The interplay between musicians brings depth and texture to every performance, blending improvisation with intentionality. From laid-back gatherings to lively events, my goal is to craft an experience that complements the setting and connects with listeners through a shared love of music. We can provide audio for up to 150 people, a larger group requires an additional fee. From bar and bat mitzvahs to graduations, weddings and everything in between. A travel fee of $25/hour unless otherwise discussed.
