An advocate for the seamless integration of technology in the teaching studio and classroom, he has presented workshops for collegiate and independent music teachers introducing teaching techniques using digital keyboards, computer software, internet utilities, and SMART Board technology. He is co-creator and designer of the website findpianoworks.com.
