"Ty helped me realize that every time I played piano or sang, I dissociated and put myself under pressure to perform. Working with Ty helped crack a new world open for me, returning to music as a grounding spiritual practice. A year later, and I'm still using the weekly exercises." — Celine

"It was refreshing to approach the piano not from such a rigid place, but relationally — making contact not just with the physical instrument, but with the piano as a practice that carries its own energy. It made me feel excited to practice music. Relating with the piano somatically rather than from my mind was really beautiful and profound." — Syree

"I've been surprised how consistently this has worked for me, and it has only grown over time. I'm becoming comfortable with my true voice, feeling very embodied in my experience of making music, making sound, connecting with my breath and my true emotions in the moment. I'm very grateful for the wisdom and tools Ty gave me, and finding the freedom I've been searching for." — Wanda

A classically-trained pianist myself, I value my technical ability while also recognizing the harm that many educational institutions instill through rigorous perfectionism and performance. Many young musicians grow up to believe they were never 'good enough' to enjoy music and experience freedom on their instrument. I believe this is backwards, and it destroys your motivation to practice. I teach you how to reach that freedom now, and how to channel that inspiration into technical mastery.

"I came from a classical background, lost my way and stopped. I felt very stuck, and I didn't know which kind of music I liked anymore, what allows me to express myself. Here, I went into another dimension. I was able to meditate on a deep level." — Stefania

From child prodiges to touring musicians and film composers, the entertainment industry is often a brutal, exploitive experience. Even at the peak of our careers, we can experience deep repulsion for the very thing we used to love. But the beauty of music is that it can portal us back to that childhood self who cherished music, long before it adapted to external, commercial pressure.

For many, sacred music is the first place they experience transcendence and relationship with the divine. When these institutions fail us, it locks away those special experiences. Whether you come from a more serious devotional or formal liturgical lineage, or an ecstatic/charistmatic background, I have deep experience healing from both. I bring a holistic integration of musical traditions to help unlock this relationship to music again, but this time through yourself instead an external system.

"I've been trying to unlock my voice after years of people telling me what I should sound like, of leaving my faith and deconstructing. As I was doing this practice with my guitar and voice, natural songs would just come out as I breathed and brought movement with my hands. There was an emergent sound from my body that wanted to be released. I've been surprised how consistently this has worked for me, and it has only grown over time. I'm becoming comfortable with my true voice, feeling very embodied in my experience of making music, making sound, connecting with my breath and my true emotions in the moment. I'm very grateful for the wisdom and tools Ty gave me, and finding the freedom I've been searching for." — Wanda

If your child struggles in school, socially, or at home, especially from highly-sensitive or neurodiverse wiring, music can be more than a skill. It can become a language for their nervous system.

These sessions use the piano as a sensory regulation practice. Rather than drilling technique for performance, we build listening, breath, and expression as tools your child can carry into the rest of their life. Visual art and somatic movement are woven in as complementary pathways when helpful.

Same foundation for kids, adapted for adults navigating similar experiences such as late diagnosis, sensory overwhelm, or difficulty in conventional environments. This is music as a practice of coming home to yourself and finding a safe place to explore the world from.
