He always had a knack for improvising and through the years studied with an assortment of teachers but it wasn’t until he studied with New York City Master Jazz Improvisation Teacher and Artist, Connie Crothers, a student and colleague of the late, great Jazz Pianist, Lennie Tristano, that he broke through to becoming the piano player that he is today. After studying classical music for a couple of years, he learned the chord method of piano playing and thereafter, began developing the ability to play and enjoy pop, rock, and jazz music.
Sonny began playing piano at seven years old when his father started giving him lessons based on the traditional piano instruction method. His mother Gloria was a talented singer and his father Frank was a song writer and professional piano player. Sonny comes from an extended family of musicians.
