Meet Jeremy
Hi, I'm Jeremy, founder of We ArtPlay.
My teaching philosophy is simple: learn how to improvise & make your own music by developing a deep understanding of how music works.
Harnessing my conservatory education in jazz piano, I've created fun & practical methods that give you the tools to improvise, compose, and learn your favorite songs starting from our first lesson! We develop your creative voice so that you can sit at the piano with confidence and play your music without reading a note.
I am a full-time music teacher, and a professional musician. I've performed with dozens of bands spanning a wide variety of genres including jazz, classical, rock, musicals, pop, hip-hop, folk, blues, salsa, reggae, Balkan, electronic, R&B, Indonesian gamelan, West African, and Afro-Cuban.
I look forward to making music with you soon!
Reviews
"Jeremy is a great teacher - he really knows his piano theory and technique AND how to explain it to others‚ which is a skill in itself. I felt I really grew as a musician both in understanding and confidence."
"Great course that reveals the secrets of jazz and makes it feel like something anyone can learn. Sets you up with all the tools so that the only piece left is your opening up and giving it a try."
