I live in Hawaii and love it here! The beauty that surrounds me is awesome! Green covered valleys and mountains, rainbows, waterfalls, the beautiful teal blue ocean and spectacular sunsets - WOW! This is what Hawaii is like! So beautiful and awesome! But, the people of Hawaii are what make it so very special!
I have a passion for music! I really love playing the piano, writing and arranging new music and co-writing songs with friends. I enjoy learning jazz chord progressions and am always listening for new sounds. I also enjoy reading the Bible, spending time with friends, meeting new friends, going to movies, hiking and exercising. I like to eat Italian food as well as all kinds of Asian foods. Sushi is great!
I have been playing piano since age 6. Studied piano as well as many other music studies with Albert Teoli in Wilmington, DE. Also studied piano with other instructors from New Jersey, Delaware and Hawaii.
In addition to teaching piano, I also give instruction for contemporary music theory, improvisation, composition, orchestration and various styles including classical, rock, gospel, classic and contemporary pop and funk, as well as instruction for playing piano and synthesizer with a band. I compose, publish and record original music. I currently have many original pieces of sheet music available as well as a book entitled, "Chord Progression Ideas for the Contemporary Pianist" and four CD's entitled, "Free Flow", "Serenity,""Flowing" and "Christmas Impressions."
All of these CD's are available at CD Baby. Please also check out Indieheaven, Apple iTunes, Napster, and Rhapsody."Free Flow", my first CD was distributed in the Philippines. I play professionally and have performed in New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Kauai, Oahu and the Big Island of Hawaii as well as several locations in the Philippines on the island of Luzon. I have been interviewed on television and radio programs aired in New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Hawaii and the Philippines.
I hope you enjoy my music.

John, I just played your music again for the first time in a couple weeks - "Encourging Moment" - on my Profile Playlist. It was like I was coming home to that peaceful place - and relaxing by the open, shuttered window with a vista of the ocean. I needed to be there today. Thank you for the encouragement. Have a blessed day. AlegriaJoy
Thank you. But the flower subjects enable me to capture their beauty in spite of my inability to operate my little point and shoot. Here is another for you I shot yesterday in my garden. And when I need a touch of peace to go with my beauties, I turn on your music, close my eyes and just take it all in. Often I see the beauty of Hawaii's ocean too. Thank you for the guided fantasy you take my senses on
Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.
Just stopping by to say hi and tell you that your music is still on my top 10 playlist on my profile page. Thought I'd send you a photo from my garden in case you needed a smile of encouragement.
Hi John, I just finished reading Ps 126:5,6 - Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy..." Was wondering if you've composed a "songs of joy"? Have a blessed day. AlegriaJoy
