Instruments: Piano Guitar
It wasn't until I was 12 years old that I really started to play and learn guitar, being further motivated by my brother who was just learning guitar himself. We started out learning songs by Metallica and Led Zeppelin. Later, I took a deep interest in learning blues, classical, jazz, and more classic rock like Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Santana etc. After years of studying and practice, I believe I have a firm grasp of music theory, how to play different styles of music, and the ins and outs of guitar playing.

Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet
With my teachings, each student will experience a voice that will rarely get tired, won't sound hoarse and will stay healthy their whole lives. I am also a major proponent of learning music theory. All of my voice and piano students learn basic theory under my tutelage through the Keith Snell piano theory series. When I teach my students, I typically begin them on classical training. We start off learning Italian art songs, but will always have their favourite pop tune in the mix to show them how classical technique can make them a better pop singer. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My students are provided with a solid musical and technical foundation that allows them to feel comfortable in any of the countless musical contexts they will encounter as they embark on a life-long musical journey! Most piano methods books are "C and G-centric," causing students to learn to only feel comfortable playing on the white keys and then become either terrified or bewildered any time there is more than one sharp or flat in the key signature.

My name is Jorge S. I am a 24 year old artist/composer that recently moved to the Bay Area to nurture my passions in painting and making music. I grew up in Texas where I began my classical music education in the 4th grade. I began taking the violin more seriously as I grew older and eventually studied with two particular members of the San Antonio Symphony, Andrew Small and Emily Freudigman, the former of which was Itzhak Perlman's student for many years.

The skill level of my students range from Beginner to Intermediate. For Piano Students: My beginner students start with the Bastien Piano Basic Method Books. I assess what book level is necessary during our first lesson. Other beginner material I use are: Alfred's Basic Piano Library Lesson Books, Older Beginner Piano Course (For Adult Beginner Students), and Piano Adventures series. Book levels vary per student and some additional material may fall to the responsibility of the students family to purchase. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I have also received commissions and grants from soloists, ensembles, and arts organizations in several U.S. states. Some of my pieces have been published by music publishing companies or have been broadcast on the radio (including WFMT's Relevant Tones). I played principal flute in the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra for four years, and I appeared as a flute soloist in several orchestral and choral concerts on campus as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo Music Keyboard
Teaching is very new to me. For beginning students I would start with a Hal Leonard's Essential Elements book. Then when the student progresses the fundamentals I will start to introduce solo pieces for recital performance. For adults I will ask them what would be fun for them to play and make my lesson plans off of that to keep them engaged and having fun no matter what level they are. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Determining if your child is ready to start lessons, whether it's for music, sports, or any other skill, involves considering several factors. Here are some key indicators to help you assess their readiness:
1. Interest and Enthusiasm: Is your child showing a genuine interest in the activity? Do they express excitement or curiosity about learning it? Eagerness is a positive sign.
2. Age-Appropriateness: Consider your child's age and developmental stage. Some activities may have age recommendations, so make sure your child is within the suggested age range.
3. Attention Span: Assess your child's ability to focus and concentrate. Most lessons require a certain level of attention and patience. If your child can sit still and pay attention for the duration of the lesson, it's a good sign.
4. Physical Readiness: Depending on the activity, your child may need certain physical abilities or coordination. For example, they should be able to hold a pencil if they want to start drawing or be able to handle a musical instrument properly.
5. Emotional Readiness: Consider your child's emotional maturity. Are they able to handle constructive criticism and setbacks without becoming overly discouraged or frustrated?
6. Responsibility: Some activities require regular practice and commitment. Assess whether your child is responsible enough to follow through with lessons and practice routines.
7. Support from the Child: Ideally, your child should express a desire to learn and participate in the activity. Their enthusiasm and willingness to attend lessons and practice are good indicators.
8. Parental Support: Evaluate your own readiness and willingness to support your child in their chosen activity. Are you prepared to provide the necessary resources, transportation, and encouragement?
9. Time Commitment: Consider your family's schedule and whether you can realistically accommodate the time required for lessons, practice, and any related activities or competitions.
10. Consult with Professionals: If you're uncertain, it's often a good idea to consult with professionals or instructors who specialize in the activity your child is interested in. They can provide insights and recommendations based on their expertise.
Remember that every child is unique, and readiness for lessons can vary widely from one individual to another. It's essential to support your child's interests and aspirations while being attentive to their individual abilities and needs. Starting with a trial or introductory lesson can also help you gauge their readiness and interest in a particular activity before committing to a long-term schedule.
