History
I've been actively teaching piano, guitar, trumpet, electric bass, other instruments, songwriting, and composition since 1980. I've had the privilege of teaching all levels and ages in Berkeley, Oakland, Lamorinda, and other parts of the Bay Area.
Specialties
I work with my students to develop an individualized curriculum. We develop music performance skills including technique, note reading, and important pieces in classical, jazz, show music, and rock. This is balanced with the student's favorite genres, artists, and songs, contributing to confident, skillful, and highly motivated musicians!
