BACKGROUND
I began piano lessons at three years old. I played six hours a day for the next twelve years, mostly classical music. At 15, I discovered boogie-woogie, blues, and jazz. I grew my hair out, joined the musicians union, and began playing piano professionally.

I will work with the client or musician in terms of my rates.
Obviously, I will charge less for a rehearsal than a performance.
I am as flexible with prices, as I am with my hands.
