Since then I have traveled the world playing the piano, on Cruise Ships, big clubs and Restaurants, in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iceland, Greece, and I also traveled up and down the East coast with the, ?Platters ?, as musical Director. I worked as a Piano teacher at a music store in Los Angeles, and was promoted to store manager, and sold musical instruments, Pianos, and Organs. From that point I traveled to many houses giving private lessons. And now I?m playing every weekend, at a Restaurant in the Valley, solo jazz piano, and I do all the love songs, some Latin, some Pop, Gospel, and RB hits. I?m able to teach music by notes and chords, and how to improvise on the melodies and chords. My motto is, I play music with class, and I teach every song I play, which is over 400 songs. Formal Education: I started my education with my music in College, and received an Associate Degree, in Arts and Humanities. And I joined the Army school of music, and received private lessons, and playing opportunities with many great musicians. I took lessons at the Dick Groove school of music, and did recordings, arranging, and song writing training at the Musician institute in Hollywood. Private Education: My first private lessons was every Saturday morning for over 5 years. We used the Mathews training books, centered around classical music, and chords, a 10 volume book set, and it took 5 years to finish these books.

Rei comes to my home to teach me every other week and he keeps me on track with my goals for piano. He is always an enthusiastic and patient teacher.
