Adam

Adam has been playing piano all his life - performing professionally for over 20 years, and teaching professionally for over a decade. His early focus was primarily in classical, but then switched to rock and improv in high school, and jazz and jazz improv during his undergraduate years at The University of Vermont. He received his Bachelor's Degree in the Liberal Arts there in 2003, with a major in Philosophy, and minors in Music and Religion. It is within the overlaps of these studies that he became enamored with music’s ability to shape a person and their surroundings. He sincerely believes that having a personal connection and understanding of music is essential for fully grasping all that the world around you has to offer. His intense love of performing is equal to his desire for imparting that emotion unto others. Adam has toured the country several times over with a variety of projects – including groups based in indie-rock, world beat, jazz quartets, improvisational and progressive rock, cover bands, hip-hop, dance-pop, and his own singer-songwriter performances. His main goal in teaching is to instill each student with an independent desire to take their own music and abilities to wherever their heart leads them. He would love to help you find your own calling with the piano, and teach you how easy it is to bring a knowledgeable understanding of the instrument into your life.
