Let’s begin by taking a deep breath…
Hello! I’m Kennedy—a composer, musician, and sound researcher dedicated to the art of mindful listening. My work spans a diverse array of genres, all unified by a single mission: to cultivate gratitude and deep appreciation through self-expression.
In our sessions, we go beyond the sheet music. We engage all the senses to develop the technical and emotional skills necessary to truly experience music, whether you are playing or listening. My approach is holistic, centering on breathwork, self-awareness, and the fascinating field of ecoacoustics (soundscape ecology).
A typical lesson is a balance of discipline and discovery. We begin by setting intentions, followed by improvisation, the exploration of both traditional and contemporary practices, and—most importantly—plenty of laughter. While we will dive deep into the essential foundations of your instrument, we do so in an environment that is patient, encouraging, and tailored to your unique goals.
As a student you will have access to some groovy music as well as supplemental lessons like the ones found below. Check them out!

DID YOU KNOW? The pianoforte came to us centuries ago around the year 1700 and was invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori. Today there are many versions of this instrument as well as playing styles and genres. Whether you’re learning to play Mozart, Beyoncé, or Tupac, we will dive deep into the realness of piano and music theory.
