About Sunset Piano Lessons
Ahoy! I'm a graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with a Masters in Composition, and I've been teaching piano and composition for the better part of 10 years in the Bay Area, residing in the Sunset District of San Francisco. I teach all ages and levels, utilizing various proven techniques along with incorporating fun games and activities to make lessons interactive and memorable. I also host "Studio Class" once a month for all my students where we perform our piano pieces for each other in a low-pressure environment, allowing frequent performance opportunities to develop confidence on stage. It's a fun event held at my place where we serve food and drink and play fun musical games after performances. The kiddos love it! For piano students, I use Faber Piano Adventures, as I find the material enjoyable and well-paced. For beginning/early intermediate music theory, I use "Practical Theory" by Sandy Feldstein. For more advanced theory, I'll prescribe a text based on the student's abilities. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to set up a trial lesson with me!
Reviews
I really enjoy learning the piano with Jeff. He is enthusiastic and passionate about being a musician. I am feeling encouraged to continue my wish to finally take on the daunting task of learning chord, scale and music theory (which I had been avoiding forever). I had taken formal classical lessons as a child for just three yrs and Jeff has helped me fill in the knowledge gaps. We are working on jazz/r&b and chord progressions while also working on easier jazz sheet music. He's also classically trained so he is able to help with that too!
My 14 year old daughter has been taking lessons with Jeff for about a year. She loves lessons and has really improved. She had had informal lessons before, and Jeff did a great job assessing her level and then proceeding ahead. He is responsive and helpful with scheduling and logistics. Super easy to work with.
I’ve been going to jeff for a couple months and as a complete beginner in my 20’s he has really been able to improve my playing. He’s also really patient and has great exercises during his sessions. Not only does he teach you how to play but he’s also very knowledgeable on the history of the piano. After every session he gives out a lesson to practice at home. I would highly recommend him if you truly want to learn how to play the piano.
Jeff is an easy going and professional instructor, I had zero knowledge of music and he is very motivating and supportive.
