I'm a multi-instrumentalist, improvisor, composer and educator who takes great joy in teaching and sharing music with people of all ages. I've been deeply fortunate to have studied closely with multiple master musicians of various traditions. Perhaps the teacher who has had the deepest impact on my teaching methods is W.A. Mathieu, former arranger and bandmember of the Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton orchestras. I studied with Mathieu for three years. I've performed up and down the west coast and am an active player in the Bay Area music scene.

I also like studying computer programming.

I'm a caring, straight-forward and passionate instructor who believes anyone can achieve greatness when it comes to music. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Music in Trumpet Performance. I received my Master's Degree in Trumpet Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. I have performed in many countries including Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Austria, China, Taiwan and Japan in venues such as the Kennedy Center, the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and the Berlin Philharmonie. Music has created an incredible life journey for me thus far, and I would love to share those experiences and opportunities with eager minds.

Hello there! My name is Kevin. I am a 27-year-old musician and graduate music student at Cal State East Bay. I have been teaching for over 5 years both privately and in group setting. I currently hold my bachelors in music from San Francisco State University. I am a multi-instrumentalist. I studied jazz/pop/classical bass and piano while attending San Francisco state. I have also been playing guitar since high school and have years of private lessons. I enjoy teaching and feel I can be a great fit for reverb lessons! thank you. I have been teaching piano, guitar, bass and music production from my house studio in Berkeley for over 5 years now. I currently teach from my graduate studio at Cal State University East Bay. I also have taught for groups for a former organization called Music Camp Rocks in Pleasanton, California. In music camp rocks we taught kids to work together in a band and perform songs. at the end of their session they would perform on stage. Since then I have been teaching professionally from my school office and my home studio for several years. I make learning music fun and enjoyable for all ages!
Instruments:
Since I was 8, I studied cello and chamber music with several teachers all over Europe, and I performed intensely in festivals and seasons as a chamber and orchestra musician - particularly in Italy and Sweden - between 2008 and 2011. In 2010 I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Cello and Chamber Music. In the meantime, I studied singing at pop-star Silvia Mezzanotte’s School, as well as with Opera Singers from Italy, Canada and Israel. The diverse methods I’ve studied from these masters of voice have allowed me to expand my range and repertoire by adapting their techniques into a wide variety of genres. I’ve been lead singer at Renato Giorgi’s Midi Recording Studio since I was 12. In my life I have had so many unbelievable music teachers and experiences, that it’s now an honor and a pleasure to share my learning lessons with students of all ages!
