"Stephen is a graduate from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA in Piano Performance and Film Scoring. He has worked at Piano Playtime where he taught twelve Kindergarten to 4th grade group piano lessons. He is easy to get along with and very patient with kids and adults. He has been teaching on the former TakeLessons platform for 12 years and a few years on Wyzant. He teaches online, in person, at homes, and people with disabilities. What you will find in Stephen's lessons, he creates short mp4 videos of the lesson and e-mails them to the students or parents.

Stephen scored a local film titled "The Times Were Never So Bad: The Life of Andre Dubus" who's son Andre Dubus III wrote the story "The House of Sand and Fog." In 2003 the novel was adapted into a film starring Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly. The film won first place at the Providence Film Fest in 2007.

He also composed a local thriller film titled, "Eamons' Road" and composed two piano songs for the online college Capella University, and currently composing a rock opera.
