About Rickie
Nineteen years ago, I entered the studio to begin a career focused on the mechanics of piano performance. I have mentored countless students across nearly 2 decades of instruction. My technical foundation rests on a Bachelor of Music from the Curtis Institute of Music.
I specialize in chord voicing, hand independence, and jazz improvisation, while ensuring students grasp rhythm and timing alongside classical repertoire. Teaching is my primary craft. I am always here to guide your progress.

Keys vibrate under your touch during our initial diagnostic playing assessment before we set a learning plan. This opening session provides the data required to build a structured curriculum based on your current physical capabilities.
As a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, I emphasize the same rigor expected at a conservatory level. We dissect your repertoire to resolve specific technical barriers.
My approach demands focus on the physical weight of each note. We refine your internal rhythm to ensure precise execution.
I monitor your posture to prevent fatigue during long practice blocks. This methodical process provides a 10.0 score in clarity for every technical challenge. You will gain a concrete understanding of your musical strengths.
