Review About Me
Hey guys, I'm a pianist/keyboardist currently based out of southern California after just moving back home from spending 6 years in Boston. I remember the frustration of knowing there is more to learn in the musical word and not being happy with the answers I was given on how to approach new concepts, especially dealing with jazz, improv, and writing. But like any language learning the basics well enough to know when you no longer need them is how you truly start to express yourself and find out who you are musically.
Joel H is proficient in and teaches Keyboard and Piano Lessons .
Formal Education:
Just finished school at Berklee college of music with a degree in performance, focusing on playing jazz, pop, rock, accompanying singers and studio performance.
Private Education:
Have taken private lessons my whole life with teachers that include, Rob Mullins, Russ Ferrante, Taylor Eigsti and Allain Mallet.
Performing Experience:
I have been a performing pianist and keyboardist since the 8 grade, starting with being a pianist for local dance and college singing classes. Winning the West Coast Ragtime Festival in 2005 and 2006. As a high school student I had formed several jazz groups that focused on straight ahead and smooth jazz. In college I performed for many years in the New England wedding scene playing top 40 pop music an dance music, as well as spending two years on cruise ships with a top 40 band that focused on incorporating old school soul and blues into its sets. Playing for many original Berklee bands that were featured on the Jazz Revelation Record contest at Berklee as well as performing regularly for recitals around the Berklee campus and exploring the Boston and New England Music scene. And finally I'm back in California at home starting my career up again here as an adult.
Experience Teaching:
I have been giving private lessons since 2008, while I do teach students how to read my goal and vision for a student is not to be a robot that can only play what you put in front of them. I teach an understanding into how we use music as a language and how to understand the complex theory side, to be free in the artistic side to find who we are as musicians and what our voice is. While using songs in the style of choice of the student, I start to show them the basics of theory, rhythm, harmony, how all the little rules build off each other until you are truly speaking a new language.

Joel H
In my view, Joel is definitely well suited for a private music instructor position. On top of being an incredibly proficient performer, composer and improviser, he is also very capable of explaining rudimentary to advanced concepts in an easy to digest way. In my 5 years knowing and performing with Joel, we have been able to have incredibly lucid exchanges of musical ideas and concepts where I have learned a lot from his approach to piano. On top of his qualifications as a musician, Joel is also a really kind, respectful, and likable guy and I consider him a true friend. I certainly recommend him as an instructor!
