Hi, I'm John Paul Keene, the founder and lead instructor at LCMA. Music and teaching are my two greatest passions, and being able to combine them is a dream come true. I'm excited to share the methodology I've developed in my one-on-one sessions with larger groups!
With a Bachelor's in Jazz Piano Performance from UCI and over 20 years of teaching experience, I've crafted a unique approach that accelerates the learning curve and makes the process much more enjoyable!
