Just look at this piano. It is easily one of the most stunning instruments we've ever had in our showroom, and it perfectly showcases Steinway's status as not just the best piano maker in the world, but also as a true master of woodworking. This Crown Jewel series model L has been wrapped in Kewazinga Bubinga, also known as "African Rosewood". It is a highly sought after wood from West Africa, known for its intricate grain that perfectly plays with the light and turns this 5'10" grand into an absolute work of art. Bring this piano into your home and you'll have a conversation piece that will elevate any room it's placed in. Of course, this piano is more than just something beautiful to look at, it is a Steinway piano through and through, with their patented accelerated action, hexagrip pinblock, and diaphragmatic soundboard. These features and more turn playing this piano into an unforgettable experience. The tone is wonderfully rich, with a deep warm base, and a clear treble. The action is smooth, quick to respond to the fastest of passages. This piano came from a single owner, who purchased it new and cared for it regularly until it was placed in our showroom. New, this model sells for $111,900, yet for a fraction of the price you can own this model in like-new condition for only $39,995 (financing available). If you want a piano that will stop guests dead in their tracks as they walk by, something that looks as good as it sounds, this is the piano for you. Included in the purchase price is a complimentary move, tune, and a 10 year parts and labor warranty. Give us a visit, and try it out today!

Sean Lucius
All Woodwinds

Thank you for considering me as a possible guide in music. As a Mesa native, I’ve been fortunate to grow up with a teaching artist family in a wonderfully supportive arts community. I believe my profession as a teaching artist is one of the most important roles I play. To help people realize they might be capable of more than they realize is one the most important things I can do.
I started my study of woodwinds with the late, great Grant Wolf at age 8. Then, I was fortunate to study with Hugh Lovelady, lead Saxophone for Caesar’s Palace through the 70’s and 80’s, as well as Steve Hanusofski of the Phoenix Symphony. College took me to Oberlin Conservatory, the oldest school of music in the USA, where I studied with knower of all things clarinet, Richard Hawkins. My post graduate work was done at Longy School of Music of Bard College in Cambridge, MA with world famous principal clarinet of the Simone Bolivar Symphony,and founding member of the Caracas Clarinet Quartet; Jorge Montilla Moreno.
I’ve been performing professionally since age 16. without going too detailed; the past few years have been spent performing in pit orchestras for theater productions around the valley and occasionally performing with the Phoenix Symphony. I’ve also been fortunate to share my passion for music; teaching clarinet at Mesa Community College. When not teaching or performing, I’m often found helping players with instruments and accessories at Milano Music Center.
Wherever you are on your musical journey, I hope I can be of aid. Whether taking your first steps in music, or preparing college auditions; I’m a careful guide. Perhaps you’re the seasoned saxophone player looking to improve your clarinet tone, or you’ve just always wanted to learn oboe; I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

Paco de Alba
Woodwinds, Piano, Composition

My full name is Francisco Javier Dudley de Alba, but I am more commonly known by my nickname, Paco. I was born in Long Beach, California, and I am a musician, lessons teacher, and composer in the Metro-Phoenix Area. I constantly seek to spread my enthusiasm for music through teaching students of all ages. With over six years of music teaching experience in various areas, such as piano, composition, and clarinet, I look forward to being a helpful guide on your musical journey!
In addition to working as a Faculty Associate at Arizona State University (ASU) Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, I am currently finishing my Doctorate of Music degree, studying under Dr. Robert Spring and Dr. Joshua Gardner. I earned my Master of Music degree at ASU in 2018 and received my Bachelor of Music degree at Columbus State University (CSU) Schwob School of Music in 2016 under the instruction of Dr. Lisa Oberlander.
I have performed internationally in Ostend, Belgium as well as in several cities around France. In 2015, I was awarded the Zodiac Music Academy and Festival Chamber Music Award. I am also a member of several chamber music groups. Most recently, I performed with Madera Picante, which hosted an Online Benefit Concert to raise money for the Artist Relief Fund during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I have also performed with Vientos Dulces, which was awarded Third Prize in the Art of Chamber Music International Music Competition in 2017 and 2018. The chamber groups I perform in have also been invited to perform at international conferences in 2019 and 2021.
Along with my passion for teaching, I am also an avid composer and arranger. I studied composition with Dr. James Ogburn, Dr. Matthew McCabe, and Dr. Fred Cohen during my time at CSU, and I am a former Vice President of the CSU Society of Composers. I have had several of my pieces premiered while attending CSU and ASU. Most recently, I had my music premiered at the North American Saxophone Alliance Conference and was commissioned to write a piece for the ASU Wind Ensemble in 2020. As an advocate of new music, I have also premiered several works by other emerging composers and seek to amplify the voices of underrepresented and marginalized groups.
