ABOUT ME
I have studied under a Berklee College Of Music graduate for 6 years focusing my studies on Jazz and theory. I have completed Cabrillo College's music program, and am currently finishing a degree in composition, which means I can offer a well-rounded musical education.
I've been teaching for over 10years maintaining a roster of 25 to 30 students consistently, ranging in age from 5 years old to 67.
While specializing in Jazz, and Blues, I have a deep knowledge of Rock, Funk and many other styles of music. I've been playing professionally with bands for over 20 years sharing the stage with people like Tommy Castro, Roy Rodgers, John Lee Hooker Jr., Leon Russell, Keith Greninger, and many others. I have performed many times on the Sleepy John radio show "Please Stand By" on KPIG 107.5 and other bay area radio shows. I have a lot of experience with songwriting, arranging and recording.
You'll find that my rates are very reasonable, and I'm good with kids.
If you want to rock the house--or rock the couch-- I can teach you.
