Songwriting - This course of study is based on the song that the student presents for evaluation. From this song, concepts are learned about songwriting which filter to the next song the student will write. The basic thought is the art of writing is re-writing. In songwriting, the more you do it, the better you get at it. It is also a completely individual art form that explores the original voice of the student. SKYPE lessons available.
Piano Improvisation - find your original voice, learn about the colors of the instrument and infinite palate that you can explore.
His years of exploring the world of improvisation can enhance your experience as a pianist.
Because music is an intangible form, it has to be taught with this understanding. We hear and feel music. It is also quite an individual art form and has to be taught with this concept in mind. If you are an improvising musician, please consider Randy's teaching services. SKYPE Lessons available.
