About Michael
About My Teaching
I’ve been playing piano for nearly 40 years. I teach because I believe the instrument opens something most people don’t expect: a direct line between discipline, creativity, and genuine human connection.
I come from an engineering background. That means I care about fundamentals. How your hand sits. Why your wrist stays loose. The architecture of a piece before you memorize it. We build toward what you want to play, not around obstacles.
What It’s Like Working With Me
You’ll learn efficiently, but not fast in the way that sounds impressive. You’ll learn sustainably. We work on repertoire you actually care about, and I’ll be direct when something isn’t landing. If you’re struggling with a passage, we find the root: technique, tempo awareness, listening, musicality. I don’t let things slide.
You’ll also discover that learning an instrument at 65 (or any age) isn’t about becoming a performer for an audience of strangers. It’s about joining a community of people who play and listen together. I perform regularly at senior living communities in the East Bay, and many of my students find that playing for an audience of peers, in spaces where people genuinely want live music, is one of the most rewarding parts of the experience.
