What people are saying about JD
“JD has provided piano lessons for kids and an adult within our family - he’s talented working with people of all ages. We’ve appreciated his expert understanding of music coupled with his compassionate accountability with just-in-time next steps that promote growth. He provides performance opportunities, an online toolkit to support healthy practice, and even opportunities for growing as a composer from a young age. I highly recommend JD’s services as a piano teacher.”
“JD was our son’s piano teacher for almost 6 years. He has a great way of relating and engaging his students in a low-pressure style. He helped with whatever side projects our son was interested in including themes from “Pirates of the Caribbean” and as he got older, music composition software. JD was also flexible with schedules during sports seasons. We always loved the holiday recital and “annual hot dog night” in the summer. Our son has begun a lifelong interest in music. Thanks for a great experience, JD!”
““JD is professional and great with my 6 year old little girl. She has been wanting to play piano for two years now and is thrilled to have great direction. As her mom, I am thrilled that his instructions are clear enough for me, and my non-musical experience, to understand and help her when she needs it.” JD is great.

“Our daughter has been taking lessons with JD for several years, and our son took lessons also. We love JD’s teaching style! His lessons have provided our kids with the necessary structure for success in learning a new instrument (really any new skill). He keeps it fun by providing opportunities for the kids to pick songs or genres they are interested in. His environment is very safe and very clean. We highly recommend!”
“As a 5 year student of JD, I never had a single bad experience. He mentored me to learn how to play piano, and understand music in general. He is a very good piano teacher!
