What you will learn
I remember feeling frustrated with my playing—I knew I had talent, but I struggled to truly master gospel piano. I wanted to play effortlessly in any key, retain what I learned, and take ideas from one song and apply them to others. After years of trial and error, I created a formula that transformed the way I learned music, helping me break free from limitations and develop my own sound.
Now, I’m passionate about helping musicians who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to reach the next level. That’s why I built this program—to give you a clear, structured path to mastering gospel piano. Each lesson is designed to help you retain concepts, improvise with confidence, and develop your own signature style. You won’t just learn songs—you’ll understand the "why" behind the music, so you can apply it anywhere.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re just copying others without truly owning your sound, this program is for you. I’m here to help you break through those barriers and become the musician you were meant to be.
