About Buzz

I am an independent producer, writer, arranger, & keyboardist with over 35 years in the music industry. I appear on more than 150 CDs as performer or producer (2 received platinum certification). During the 80's, I toured the world with the legendary Curtis Mayfield and during that time became staff producer for a record company. In the 90's, I focused on production & arranging, working with some of music's finest such as Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum, & Ben E King to name a few. I created a pre-production company in 1998. I have composed music for CNN, Delta Airlines, The Discovery Channel, the Weather Channel as well as for film and TV. My orchestration skills provided me the opportunity to score 2 songs for jazz pianist Bob Thompson and the West VA Symphony Orchestra. In September of '05 I released my debut CD. Music from that release can be found in both film and TV. In 2023 my 2nd CD Muse Café was released and spent 16 weeks in the top 10 on the jazz and world charts! In addition to my teaching, I continue writing and producing for various artists as well as composing music for independent film.

About the lesson

My approach to teaching is simple. The primary goal is to have fun and enjoy the experience of playing and creating music. Whether you are interested in pursuing a career in music or just wanting to add a bit of a creative outlet to your life, let me help. I am extremely patient and want nothing more than for you to have a most enjoyable experience.
My specialties include jazz, r&b, pop, EDM, modern, film scoring, sequencing, notation. I do teach a little classical but primarily to beginners only. My curriculum is simple. I try to teach you what it is YOU want to know and that which fit your needs. There are some fundamentals that we all must learn, but typically I can have you playing a song your first lesson. As you progress, you will be able to learn to play songs on your own and interpret simple chord charts with melody.

For those students who already actively play, I can help hone your skills, offer performance, recording and studio tips and techniques.

Piano lessons are given in my home and production lessons are held in my pre-production studio. Piano lessons take place on an upright piano.
