What's up!

My name is Roman. I am studying Music Composition at San Francisco Conservatory of Music and I absolutely love it! I am passionate about music and wish to contaminate everyone with such a passion too. I grew up in Ukraine where I finished music school with a Red Diploma (signifying outstanding achievements) studying piano and classical guitar. At the age of 16 I moved to the United States and continued studying piano, and received an AA degree at Fresno City College in Piano Performance. After my completion, I realized that my true passion is composing and I decided to move to San Francisco to study composition. Very often I am asked what type of music I enjoy to write the most and I always find it difficult to give a definite answer, mainly due to my versatile experience. I've written classical music as well as popular music. I've written songs, soundtracks for short videos, and arranged popular songs for chamber orchestra. In addition I've been part of a rock band,...

With a full time performing career spanning two decades and experience as a Teaching Artist with San Francisco Opera and as a Voice Instructor at New England Conservatory, I come with a box of tools to help develop and highlight your strengths and to identify and correct vocal challenges. I also offer coaching in acting / character development as well as piano and general musicianship.

I am a classically trained pianist and trumpet player with a
bachelor's degree in music education. I have taught for over 20
years, to both adults and children, with a focus on classical basics
and music theory for beginners and stylistic development in various musical styles for intermediate and advanced students. I teach from a standard
method, but adapt my teaching style to the personality and learning
strengths of my students.

I teach from my home in Castro neighborhood, but am willing to travel within the City of San Francisco.

Hey there! My name is AJ and music is my life. Whether its composing, performing, studying, teaching or just listening, I aim to fill my days with music. Nothing makes me happier than sharing my love of music with others, especially when it means helping someone discover music making for themselves. To me, music is a source of endless joy, excitement and fun and I seek to show that to all of my students.

Background - I studied jazz, classical and electronic music at UC Santa Cruz. Received a B.A. in music in 2006. I've been a professional music teacher for 10+ years, including teaching at various Bay Area music schools and acting as band director for youth rock bands. I have also been actively playing in various bands in the Bay Area for the past 10+ years.

My career in music began at an early age (four!) with classical piano lessons until the age of thirteen. After expanding my musical horizons in high school listening to jazz, blues and rock I attended Cabrillo College in Aptos, CA where I studied jazz & music theory with renowned jazz educator Ray Brown and jazz piano with Paul Nagle who has worked with Grammy award winning singer Bobby McFerrin among many others.
I have been performing solo and in groups since the Eighties in a variety of different genres including rock, jazz, blues, r&b, funk, reggae and everything in between! Performing with such artists as Bob Weir (Grateful Dead), Dan Hicks, David Grisman, Tommy Castro, Eric McFadden, Mark Karan & Vinyl I have appeared at most of the major venues in the Bay Area including the Warfield Theatre, the Great American Music Hall, Yoshi's SF, the Regency, Bimbo's & the Sweetwater.

While growing up in Spain, my Grandmother had a Piano Studio where she would prepare students to enter the Conservatory System. After noticing that I could play T.V. commercials by ear on the Piano, I was enrolled in Music Theory and Piano at the age of 6. A year later, I entered the Conservatory.
I now hold a Bachelor of Music Degree in Piano and Child Pedagogy.

I have studied in the U.S. and Europe (where I won a Scholarship) and performed in San Francisco, Oakland, New York City, and Madrid. I have won Piano competitions, performed in Chamber Music ensembles and worked as a an Accompanist. Lastly, I have a classical background, but can be inspired by all Music (especially Jazz) and equally encourage students to find educational value in a variety of music - not just "Classical".

From the moment Kat was tall enough to reach the keys she made so much noise on her family’s piano that they eventually bought a kid-sized version to keep in her room. When Kat turned 7 her family got her the best present ever; lessons with an amazing piano teacher.

Kat also began to study flute several years later and soon realized that music was the life for her. She majored in music in both high school and college graduating with a BA in Music from St. Norbert College in DePere, Wisconsin.

Kat has had a very diverse career in music. From a full time private music teacher to the Musical Director of a Burning Man Opera, to the Section Leader for a Youth Orchestra, to the keyboard player in a Theatrical Heavy Metal Band, Kat is always thrilled to stretch her wings and try new things.

Kat has taught over 100 piano and flute students in her career. She currently resides in San Francisco, CA where she performs in two professional rock bands, works as the musical...

Greetings, my name is Jared. I am a professional piano teacher living in San Francisco and I greatly enjoy passing along my love of music and playing to others. I have played piano since the age of six. My musical training includes private lessons for 10 years, the last of those years with a Julliard-trained pianist. I have been teaching professionally since 2002. I teach mostly children between the ages of 4-15 but I have also had several adult students over the years. The age of a student doesn't matter to me, it is the commitment and willingness to learn that are most important. There are no shortcuts but if a student is willing to put in the time required, I guarantee I will help that student get results and develop a talent that will stay with them for the rest of their life. My goal through teaching is to pass along a gift that a teacher once helped me develop, a gift which has brought me happiness and a great deal of satisfaction.

I have been a teacher and conductor since high school, and am very excited to take on more students through takelessons!. I have studied piano since I was five, and trombone since I was ten. My training in both instruments began in classical music, and I have been a jazz player for many years as well. My music training was always deeply personal--I was lucky to have wonderfully accommodating teachers who adapted their teaching to my learning style, and emphasized musicality above all else. I aim to provide the same combination of skill-building and personal development through my lessons.

Degree in Music from Princeton University, cum laude
