Introduction

The Clifford Lamb approach is innovative and effective. Beginners learn to function and understand music from the standpoint of accuracy and dynamics as they develop an understanding of classical, jazz and pop from an harmonic and melodic perspective drawn from Theory studies. Students gradually learn to read, play and improvise their favorite Jazz, Pop and Blues tunes and/or learn classical music with a harmonic perspective as their theoretical knowledge deepens. Classes range from very beginner to Bachelor Degree level instruction in Classical, Jazz and Pop Piano performance, Composition and Arranging. For the first lesson, the student will receive a comprehensive evaluation of their musicianship, followed by an extensive recommended lesson plan. Clifford Lamb is an internationally renowned Pianist with extensive record discography as a Jazz Composer-Pianist and recording artist. His supporting cast features some of greatest players in jazz history, including Buster Williams, Cindy Santana Blackman, Nicholas Payton, and Grammy award winning Producer Jeffrey Weber.

I had struggled to get my kiddo the piano instruction she needed with an in-person teacher. Meeting Clifford was such a refreshing experience for our family. He is patient, and understands the frustration experience of an early learner. Under his instruction we have watched our daughter transform and become conf

Cliff is a GREAT piano teacher! I'm just beginning to play at the ripe old age of #?. Even though it is somewhat painful to be a beginner I guess you have to start somewhere. But Cliff makes the experience fun and I do learn. The lessons are at my home and if he is running late he calls. If I need to reschedule he accommodates. He makes certain you are mastering the lessons and theory. It's been over 6 weeks since I've started and I'm reading music and starting to get it...not bad for an old guy. Really like Cliff, you will too.

I have been working with Clifford for the last few months and have been very happy with the quality and professionalism of Clifford's teaching. He is very patient and explains his lessons very concisely and methodically. I have no hesitations in recommending Clifford to anyone who wants to learn piano or improve on their skills. He is a pleasure to work with!

Clifford is an outstanding piano teacher. In a very short time I felt like I had made real progress on the piano. Not only that, I felt/continue to feel like I am making progress in the type of music that I am personally interested in. Clifford really listens to what your goals are and creates customized lessons that suit your needs exactly. He's not a teacher that just goes by the book, he will seriously sit down and write you music to practice that is based on your needs, current abilities and where you need to grow. This is a teacher who is truly passionate about music, from theory to execution. He is very motivating and encouraging. I highly recommend Clifford to anyone wanting to learn piano or improve on their skills at any level. Person reading this, you should hire him!

Clifford is a highly-accomplished musician and excellent teacher. I was classically-trained growing up but had always wanted to learn jazz piano. When I started lessons with Clifford, I was definitely rusty in the fundamentals, and he has been doing an excellent job at shoring up my weak points while slowly building up my skills in the jazz techniques. He is very patient and really wants his students to succeed; one example of this is that even though our lessons are supposed to be an hour, we often go over time chatting about all sorts of different aspects of jazz. He plays gigs regularly so the schedule can shift over time, but he is very accommodating and responsive when this might occur.
