"I'm Zane - a classically-trained, professional composer & all-around musical Renaissance man.

Rather than going to university, I went straight to the best by studying privately under Juilliard-trained, Boulanger-lineage mentors. Noticing my passion and natural skill in music and as an educator, they gave me their blessing to teach - which brings me here!

I teach many areas of music, including-but-not-limited-to: composition/songwriting, piano, guitar, music theory, ear training, dictation, and everything music production. I live for music!

Learning effectively is all about how it’s approached. Here’s a few ways of how I make our lessons together as natural and enriching as possible:

1) I make music simple, easy-to-understand, and relevant for any student - whether they're a well-seasoned musician or completely new to the subject!

2) I teach via active learning: tackling the material head-on & getting our hands dirty with it. We'll even use your favorite music as our basis!

3) We’ll instill a complete, well-rounded, and practical understanding & application of whatever you're looking to learn about! In the end, you’ll have an answer to any “what”, “why”, or “how” that you may need to confront!

I also devise a personal curriculum for each student, depending on their goals, to focus their learning for an overall meaningful & effective experience.

I'm very easy-to-reach and will always provide fast responses. Please get in contact if you have any additional questions or want to schedule a lesson! I look forward to hearing from you!" less...
