This piano teacher has a Bachelor of Music degree and a wealth of experience both teaching and performing on piano. He has been teaching piano lessons since 2015. This piano teacher was the recipient of Josh and Lindsey Wright's annual scholarship for young musicians, which afforded him the opportunity to travel to Utah for extensive lessons and performance opportunities, where he received special recognition for the performance of his own compositions. In addition to earning first prize in the Crane Concerto Competition, AJ also won first prize in the Rachmaninoff Music Competition hosted by New Russia Cultural Center, and second place in the Chopin Piano Competition hosted by the Capital District Council for Young Musicians. A passionate composer, this piano teacher is currently writing a concerto and fantasia for piano, infusing aspects of late Romanticism within a contemporary idiom. AJ has also composed preludes, waltzes, and other compositions that have been performed and recorded by pianists in the United States and in Europe. He is currently authoring “The Musico-Linguistics Project,” a series of papers demonstrating how music and language relate on a structural and expressive level. AJ strives to help students foster a lifetime of love and curiosity for all that music has to offer, regardless of whether they pursue a professional career or simply play for fun.
