I have been an Elk Grove native for over 16 years. I began piano lessons as a child, 

but my passion for music really began in college. Once I began studying at the 

university level, I realized that there was so much more to music than just what I 

knew about playing the piano. I explored music history, composition, orchestration, 

playing in ensembles, and researching many of the things that make music work.

I was teaching piano lessons even as I worked through college, but when I graduated 

from UC Davis at the age of 18 I began teaching music full time. I knew that was 

what I wanted to do because I had made so many discoveries in college that I knew 

students could also benefit from.

At Newsongs, you are likely to meet my family as well: my fantastic wife Mrs. Cealey 

and our daughter Abyee and son Gideon. We look forward to meeting you and 

your family soon.
