Richard Lucius
I have been teaching piano to adults for over 20 years, and have many longtime and loyal students. I have been recognized with the Top Teacher Award by Steinway & Sons for several consecutive years.
I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Performance. I have performed with various jazz and fusion bands and my own trio in the Boston area. I have played in all the major jazz venues in Boston and toured in Europe playing jazz, pop and rhythm & blues. I have recorded CDs with several local groups in different styles such as salsa, funk and straight ahead jazz. I am also a composer, and have released an album of original compositions called A Matter of Time. The album features several nationally renowned jazz artists, including Dave Samuels of Spyro Gyra, and Marty Richards of the Gary Burton quintet. I am also versatile and experienced in the use of electric keyboards, synthesizers, drum machine programming and music software composing. I recently released a second album featuring more original compositions, as well as solo piano renditions of jazz standards.
