When you’ve enjoyed the benefits of playing music like I have, you want to share that knowledge with the world. While you’re reading about my journey of music, enjoy some of my recent work at www.soundcloud.com/jason-becker-5.
My path began by studying advanced music theory, including Symphonic, Classical, Broadway, and Jazz composition. I have been playing trumpet for 14 years, guitar/ukulele/bass for 9, and keyboard has snuck into the mix somewhere along the way. Directed by Bill Wagner, my school’s music department won state championships 3 consecutive years.

As a T.A., I was responsible for making sure all trumpet players were proficient in music comprehension. We competed in countless competitions and festivals in California, traveled the world, and won several awards. I played with Jimmy Clirie, John Cross, and Maynard Fergusson; toured in Austria, Germany, Canada, Nevada, and NYC; competed in the Reno Jazz Festival 3 years, and played at Carnegie Hall,...

I hold a Bachelors of Music degree from the University of the Pacific in Stockton California, where I studied piano and music theory. Since then I have been performing and playing piano in clubs and restaurants as a soloist, as a member of small groups, and as a one man orchestra using computer assisted accompaniment. I play a huge variety of musical styles from Bach to Beatles, jazz, pops, standards, and originals.

Also a computer engineer, I have worked in the field of digital audio and video recording technology for some well known Silicon Valley companies such as Adaptec, Roxio, and Stryker. I have my own digital recording studio in my home and I have made many recordings of myself, as well as having composed many piano pieces, concertos and symphonies.

I teach Sequencing Engineering to musicians and pianists who are interested in composing or
recording their piano performances.

. Most professional pianist today use sequencing recording to record their CD release....

I have been playing the guitar for 30 years, and to date have recorded and produced 8 cds of my original instrumental music. I have performed in numerous bands over the years, currently I lead a jazz/rock instrumental trio, and play in a Spanish pop/rock/folk band. I also have over 20 years of experience recording and producing music, and am passionate about recording and audio technology.

I am an active violinist and composer and a very enthusiastic teacher! I began playing the violin when I was five years old and studied classically for many years. I started college early at Bard College at Simon's Rock, and graduated with my B.A. magna cum laude in music when I was nineteen years old. Following that, I completed a Fulbright Fellowship in Belgrade, Serbia, where I studied many different types of music, including Roma folk music and contemporary composition at the Belgrade Conservatory. I also taught English at the University of Belgrade.

I have spent time as a musician in New York City and have performed my own compositions on the electric violin across Central and Eastern Europe. I have worked with professional film composers and music editors as an assistant, orchestrator, and copyist. I recently began my graduate studies at Mills College, where I am studying composition, improvisation and performance.

About Me: San Francisco Bay area pianist/guitarist/bassist; I've been playing music for over 50 years. I'm classically trained with a solid foundation and knowledge of music theory, and have 35 years experience teaching, recording and performing. I have done session work and/or performed with members of Journey, Santana, Jackson Browne, Eddie Money, The Doobie Brothers and Greg Allman to name a few. Let me take my education and experience and pass them on to you!

My main goal as a music instructor is to pass along my love and knowledge of playing music to my students, always vigilant for sharing shortcuts that will help the student to achieve their lesson goals faster. Some teachers teach only out of books. I am not such a teacher. Books solve the problem of...

I have been a musician for over 20 years. I have a BA in Music & Sound Recording, and am equally comfortable in the studio as I am on the stage. I currently lead my own band which plays all original music and I have released two CDs of my own music, in addition to playing and recording with many local acts. I also write, record and produce music for TV and movies. Let's just say I wear a lot of hats.

I love music, and surround myself with it at all times. There are very few styles that I don't like or don't listen to, and I try to stay current as much as I can. I play a number of different instruments besides the ones I teach, including harmonica, piano, organ, drums and percussion. I also have been singing for as long as I can remember.

I believe anyone can be musical, even if you don't play an instrument. Music is everywhere, and we all tune into it, whether we know it or not. I hope that we can learn something about music and each other, then throw it all aside...

I graduated from the Musicians Institute in '07,and currently perform in the popular band Tainted Love. My main objective is to give all my students the direction they need to become the best musician they can be. I know every student is different and learns at a different rate. I create each lesson specific to the students needs. Playing music can be a lot of work but my main focus is to remember to have fun doing it!!
