Now Offering: Private Audition Prep

Private lessons for students auditioning for the Dreyfoos School of the Arts and Bak Middle School of the Arts.

Get focused, one-on-one preparation in technique, repertoire, sight-reading, and performance confidence, so you walk into your audition ready.

Wherever you're starting, Albert meets you there

Kids, teens, brand-new adults and seasoned players all get a program built around them, not a one-size-fits-all method.

Kids

Half-hour lessons keep younger students focused, and every program is shaped around the individual child.

Teens

Learn the songs you actually listen to, by ear, with as much theory as you want, or none.

Adults, just getting started

Zero experience is fine. You start playing songs you like right away and add theory at your own pace.

Experienced players

Stuck, or ready for the next level? Albert works out what is holding you back, with ear training, soloing, fingerstyle or songwriting.

“Shortly after you start with Albert you'll feel like you're learning / playing with a friend…”

Inside a lesson

Every lesson is built around music you care about.

  1. Start with songs you love

    Bring in the music you love and learn it by ear, piece by piece, the way the original artist played it.

  2. See why they work

    A simple two-page theory approach shows you how to build chords and scales and train your ear, until you can teach yourself. Prefer to skip theory? Albert will keep it all about the songs.

  3. Play anywhere

    In-person lessons around West Palm Beach, plus virtual lessons from wherever you are.
