About Me
Hi, my name is Clay and I am an actor, musician, and teaching artist from New Ulm, MN. I have been a student of music for 15 years. My musical influences include classical, jazz, and soul. I also enjoy performing and cooking delicious food. My teaching style can best be described as easy-going and approachable. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying that I value hard-workers and giving it your all. In my lessons, you can expect to learn basic piano sight-reading, playing with right and left hand, and numerous songs. I like to tell my students to just breathe and practice. My students love that I am silly sometimes, as well as encouraging. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon!-Clay

What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

Hello, My name is Clay. I hope you are doing well! During our lesson: please bring a notebook there may be expenses for the learning materials, which I will send to you shortly. I use Faber Lesson books, which you can find online, or I can purchase for you, and then you'll pay me later. I expect students to practice outside of our lesson time, as this is the best way to learn. I hope to see all you shortly! And if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at my email address: Thank you!-Clay
