Music Lessons San Mateo County, CA

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard

I welcome children and adult students of all levels and abilities. My goal as a teacher is to support the unique spark in each individual while helping to develop his or her knowledge and enhancing their appreciation of music. I support students developing skill and expression with patience, humor and warmth. Areas of focus are performance (learning and polishing pieces), technique (developing finger control and agility), and music theory (the language of music) through creative work (improvisation and composition, including notation).

I have been a musician for several decades and have had the fortune to do take music lessons from many teachers. What I have found most important to me, was to have a teacher who able to take where I was at skill wise and go from there. Im a huge advocate of practicing but Im not a fan of assigning tedious exercises that a student cannot relate to. If the student has a favorite genre of music and can sing along with the songs they like (most everyone), then thats where we should start. Read More

I received my degree from this college as a professional guitarist while also pursuing a career in jazz arrangements and composition. I began working on it when I joined the faculty at this College in 2008. Read More
