Private Lessons & Coaches in Town 'n' Country, FL

I'm a skilled pianist, composer, and teacher with over 20 years of experience in jazz, blues, ragtime, and classical piano. My musical journey began in early childhood with classical piano lessons and a love for the violin, growing into a lifelong passion shaped by decades of focused study, performance, and creative exploration. I specialize in helping students of all ages and levels not just play the piano, but truly understand the music—building lasting confidence, solid technique, and expressive freedom.   I'm not just a pianist, but a versatile musician. During my years at Clarkston Middle and High School, I also played saxophone in both concert and marching band, gaining a well-rounded foundation across instruments and styles. At 17, I began intensive boogie-woogie piano training under Matthew Ball, “The Boogie Woogie Kid,” whose YouTube channel has over 5 million views. Around the same time, I studied jazz and classical theory, composition, and arranging while earning college credits at Oakland Community College.   After moving to Florida, I began performing professionally at age 26, booking regular gigs at restaurants and venues throughout the local area. Since then, I’ve composed over 30 original works in jazz, classical, and ragtime styles. My musical interests have also grown to include modern production, using the Yamaha MOXF8 and Montage to explore synth-based sounds, ambient textures, and chill lounge music—perfect for students drawn to both traditional and contemporary approaches.   My teaching style is student-centered, encouraging, and highly adaptable. Whether you're a total beginner, a casual hobbyist, or a serious musician working toward advanced goals, each lesson is tailored to your needs. We'll strengthen your technique, develop your creativity, and most importantly, enjoy the process. Lessons are 1-on-1, online or in person based on your location.

"A Great First Lesson Scott is an excellent piano teacher! As a beginner, I really appreciate how patient, clear, and encouraging he is.

With a passion for music that spans decades, I began my journey in piano teaching in 2006, conducting private and group sessions. My musical voyage began even earlier during my high school days at Smithfield High School in VA, where my exceptional talents were recognized by my choir director, leading me to pursue higher education at Shenandoah University Conservatory. There, I earned my BM and MM degrees in Piano Performance with a minor in organ, shaping my profound understanding of classical music. Over the years, I've honed my skills in chamber music and music theatre, amassing 26 years of experience accompanying and coaching singers, as well as a decade in ballet dance accompaniment. Notably, I had the privilege of performing at Carnegie Hall in 2014 and continue to enrich my musical journey by collaborating with local bands and performing at prestigious events.

"“Before working together, at 74 years I started feeling uneasy in everyday situations. Being around people, even simple things like standing in a group or walking in crowded spaces, made me nervous. I was especially afraid of losing balance, getting bumped, or struggling with stairs. Through the training, I slowly rebuilt trust in my body. My balance feels more stable, my movements are more controlled, and I don’t overthink every step anymore. Going up and down stairs doesn’t feel like a risk, it just feels normal again. What surprised me most is that I feel comfortable being around people again without that constant fear in the background.”
