Piano Lessons in Florence

My name is Caleb Schmale, I am a professional musician and educator with focuses in Jazz improvisation with various instruments, beginning to intermediate classical piano, and composition. I studied at the New England Conservatory, Piano and Saxophones were my main focus while studying composition as well. I have recorded and preformed with legendary award winning musicians such as Cecil McBee, Ran Blake, Billy Hart, Bennie Wallace, Joe Morris, Tyreek Mcdole, and many more.

I have been in love with music since the age of 8 years old, and that journey has resulted in becoming aware of all types of music. This helps me by allowing space for the student to engage in material that they personally enjoy and are moved by. This has also led me to various projects over the years such as educating and performing with BackCountryJazz for 6 years, scoring the award winning film " Four Winters", and recording with some of my heroes.

With experience in teaching ages 3 all they way to 75 years old, I take pride in assuring my students success and development to achieve their goals inside and outside of music.
