"Something Different" Music Lessons
 
Applied and Fun Music Theory:
For students of any instrument, learn more about music theory as it applies to the instrument (or voice) that you've been studying.  I use pop/rock and/or traditional musics in teaching this subject, as suits the student.  When possible, students may be paired into a group of 2-4 students to make a mini-class.

Music Technology:
Principles of the Computer Music Sequencer.  (beginning to advanced)
Applications: Logic,  Garage Band or ProTools.

Sing for Glee:
Small singing groups of 2-4 students.  Learn and improve harmony singing. Learn and apply music theory and ear training.
Optional: learn to arrange and sing pop song harmonies.

Piano  Lessons
 
Beginning to moderately advanced students.  Jazz, pop and/or traditional piano lessons.
Piano proficiency for non-piano students.  A chance for  vocal students or students of other instruments to gain some basic piano skills as well as apply music theory to the keyboard.
Jazz band prep.  Piano students who've been studying in a traditional style can learn chords, scales, comping and soloing, and learn to read jazz charts and lead sheets.
Pop, rock or country multi-keyboards.  Learn to play just what's needed and figure out the right sound to use.  A basic proficiency at the piano is required.  

More Information
About the Materials:
I mostly create my own materials (with the exception of traditional piano lessons).  A music theory book may be required. 
Frequency and Location of Lessons:
Summer can be a busy time for families!  These summer music lessons can work on a flexible calendar, such as 2x a week for 4 or more weeks, the traditional "once a week", or other schedules.  
My music studio is in NE Hayward, just across the Castro Valley border off Center St.
