About Beau
I am a doctor of jazz instrumental performance and an adjunct professor of jazz piano at Miami Dade College, where I teach keyboard harmony, jazz piano lessons, and music history. I have been teaching for over 10 years and have been playing piano for 16 years. I completed my bachelor's degree at Florida State University in Jazz Performance, my master's degree at USC in Los Angeles in jazz studies, and my doctorate from Frost School of Music in Miami, FL. I currently live in Miami and enjoy tennis, video games, and live entertainment. I also love going to the beach :) I aspire to support a wife and kids with music as my full-time gig. I will do what it takes to succeed because there is no other way.

My teaching methodology varies depending on the student. One thing that has always irritated me about a traditional method or approach is that they are too linear; in other words, they lack variety and continuity with respect to the student. If every musician were the same, I would gladly teach method books... However, my method of teaching involves constantly changing my methods to adapt to the individual student's needs rather than teach the same information over and over again. I start the first lesson by asking the student what he/she likes and what he/she expects to learn from myself. From there, I develop a plan by assessing the student throughout the lesson, taking note of strengths, weaknesses, interests, and skills. After the first lesson, I assign individual practice which feels fun for the student as it will always be tailored for the student. I firmly believe that in the first few lessons, the best way to teach is to simply grab the student's attention and focus it on something they really enjoy. If the student is advanced, I still love to take a lesson or two and show them their potential vicariously through myself. This is a common Jazz methodology of teaching.

Perfect! Very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator.
Perfect! Beau is deeply educated in music, and he obviously knows what he is doing as music is literally his life in all aspects. His price point is a bit high, but it’s justified because he has worked hard clearly to deserve it. If it is in your budget, he is most likely one of the best you will find.
