About Me

Hi, I’m **Jerald ** — a passionate guitar and piano instructor currently teaching after-school guitar at Lift for Life Academy. I’ve been playing guitar for **25 years** (since I was 16) and piano/keyboard for **30 years**. I’ve performed with about a dozen cover bands over the years, and I play everything **by ear**. Being legally blind has never stopped me — it’s actually sharpened my ear and made me a more intuitive teacher. I love turning complete beginners into confident musicians who can play real songs they enjoy. Whether you want to learn chords and strumming, solos, songwriting, or how to play by ear like I do, I make every lesson fun, patient, and personalized to your goals. I teach a wide range of styles — rock, blues, pop, folk, and more — on both electric/acoustic guitar and piano. My students at Lift for Life Academy are making great progress, and I’m excited to bring that same energy and real-world experience to Taylor Robinson Music students. Ready to start playing or take your skills to the next level? Let’s make it happen!

What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

In my lessons, students can expect a fun, patient, and encouraging atmosphere where they feel comfortable from day one. I specialize in teaching beginners and focus on helping them learn real songs they love using chords, strumming patterns, and playing by ear. Drawing from my 26 years of guitar and 30 years of piano experience — including years with gospel bands and live performances — I make lessons relaxed but productive, so every student leaves each session with something they can actually play and feel proud of.
