My name is Stephen and I am a passionate music composer and arranger. I graduated from the Mason Gross School of the Arts with my bachelor’s degree in jazz performance and an honors college certificate, having completed a 40-page thesis paper on Jazz Composition. I made Dean’s list every semester and graduated with highest honors, Summa Cum Laude.
Most recently, I've been writing music for video games, film, and other media. I have some projects in the works, but will share publicly when...

Patient & Clear instruction
Stephen is giving piano lessons to my 2 kids who are beginners. He has a nice calm style and gives easy to follow, clear instructions. My kids have already learned a few songs and some info on note reading. They both say he's a very good teacher!

Friendly and easy going
Stephen did a wonderful job of teaching the basics of piano! We definitely be using his expertise to teach our grandson again! He was very calm and put him at ease in his first ever lesson.

Patient and knowledgeable tutor
Stephen is a very good tutor, he has the patience to teach depending on the student's ability. My 6 year old loves to take lessons from him. I would recommend him to everyone especially the beginner level.

Professional and to the point
My 11 year old daughter had her first lesson with Stephen the other day, she was really nervous but liked him a lot. First off, Stephen has a calm presence and he was very patient with her. He was able to establish trust right away and not make her feel intimidated. Within minutes he deciphered what was wrong with her air flow and which skills she should be focused on (since Covid she has been trying to play without guidance from the school, we have just muddled through the best we could). Thanks to Stephen she now has a renewed interest and is looking forward to her next lessons.

Happy!
My children have been taking piano lessons with Stephen and are doing very well so far. Stephen is very knowledgeable, well organized and prepared and provides very structured lessons. The kids practice multiple times between lessons and I am enjoying their progress. I highly recommend Stephen.

Encouraging and patient
Stephen is helping my 7th grader to get back on track. Last school year was my son’s first year playing the saxophone, and this year’s Covid homeschooling has really thrown a glitch in his progress. Stephen is so kind and encouraging and is helping him refocus. It’s great to hear the sounds of practice again. Thanks Stephen!
