Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin
I am an experienced musician who has a passion for music and a passion for teaching. I have performed playing the violin, piano, guitar, viola, bass guitar, and the drums. Even though I play many instruments, I am only interested in teaching piano, violin, and guitar. Outside of being a music teacher, I am currently earning my Master's Degree in Mathematics. I was formerly a high school math teacher, but I want to earn my Master's degree in math so that I could teach math at the college level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
If you are beginning and are a child, then Hal Leonard's Essential Elements is a very general and safe place to start. I firmly believe that establishing a solid set of fundamentals is a great place to start. It is important to not lose motivation during this period, progress is rewarding and it gets even better! After a solid foundation is established fundamentally, the individual is opened into a musical world with limitless possibilities. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Throughout my years in Colorado, I worked several years as a volunteer music teacher assistant. During this time, I worked with children from as little as preschool all the way up to 7th graders and got them engaged in a musical environment. After this, I began teaching private piano lessons to close individuals who wanted to introduced to the instrument. I find so much joy in engaging and motivating the students and I am very excited to continue teaching more students in the bay area. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My method is to incorporate proper technique and fingering, and though reading music is important, i also put emphasis on hearing what your playing and also understanding it theoretically. This way students will be well-rounded and be able to understand what they are playing from an audio and theoretical stance, rather than just being told what to play by the notes on the sheet music. What this does is it allows the student to become independent so that they don't have to rely on music and a teacher to be able to play or pick-up songs they desire to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students, my aim is always to nourish the love of music that brought the student into the studio. I am comfortable exploring any musical style or ambition with my students, and relish in learning alongside my pupils. For the young and old alike, I emphasize music literacy through piano basics - I believe that a basic understanding of the keyboard is essential for any meaningful musical education. With my voice students, I focus on synthesizing mind, body and spirit to unlock the true potential within every voice. Read More

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.

I typically perform an assessment with every individual during the first lesson. Depending on goals, I will recommend curriculum to achieve the desired results. If a classical approach is desired, I use the Alfred's Basic Piano series and the Hal Leonard method for guitar, along with scale and chord theory literature depending on the level of the student. I also teach jazz/pop accompaniment style improv playing so I print music out from various sources. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They're ready.
Music is another language and expands the creative part of the mind by exploring new things and new ideas. Especially if your child has a lot of energy, we can channel that energy into something positive and wholesome.
I hear way too often from people "Man, I wish I would've sticked with it" or "I wish I knew how to play an instrument." Well this your opportunity to give your child that extra advantage in the world and understand a language that everyone around the world understands.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on how often the student practices.
Generally, if you were to practice everyday for an hour..you would probably see tremendous results within two weeks.
It's like any practice. If you go to the gym once a week, how are you gonna expect any results. But if you eat right, work out 4-5 times out of the week, I'm sure you'll see results a lot sooner.
Going into the practice session with a positive, relaxed mindset always helps too. At the end of the day, it's just music..it's supposed to be fun and enjoyable.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was 14-years-old, I went to a summer camp in Michigan known as the Interlochen Fine Arts Camp. I was fortunate enough to make the jazz band as a drummer and one day, this man came into class and was teaching me how to play the "Sing, Sing, Sing" rhythm on the floor tom. The amount of sound and clarity he had while demonstrating this to me blew me away and was truly inspiring.
Little did I know that the man who was teaching me that rhythm was world renowned drummer Peter Erskine, the drummer for Weather Report.
It was at that moment I realized that maybe I outta stick with this music thing.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Slow and with a metronome.
It also depends on the music. Thinking about the other players parts help too so you're not playing so loud and playing with a nice, balanced tone.
Listening to recordings also help too. If you go on YouTube and find a professional muscian (preferably not a high school or college student) but a video that's had a ton of views and a lot of good feedback would help.
Clearing out all distractions will help too. Putting your phone on airplane mode and dedicating a full hour or two to your practice will put you in a good headspace.
Always end on a good note in the practice session. End on something were you feel like you've accomplished something because if not, you're not going to want to practice and we don't want that.
