I have been taking lessons with Bill for 4 years and have found him to be an excellent instructor…read more Bill takes the time to not only teach the basic chords, but he also corrects any bad habits that you have so that your playing can reach its full potential. Bill has helped me pick out guitars, answered any question I have asked regarding equipment/songs, and has been willing to teach any song I have asked about. I was initially worried about lessons, especially if I hadn't made too much progress on a given song since my previous lesson. Bill put me at ease, he isn't there to judge or grade your improvement, rather he will point out what you are doing well, correct any bad habits he sees, and then nudge you further along into the song. If the song isn't working for you, then no problem, he will move on to another song. Bill is very patient, understanding, and supportive. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with him and I look forward to learning many more songs with him.

Brian is a fantastic teacher!!! I came to Brian a year ago with no drumming experience or formal…read moretraining. From our first lesson together, and throughout the time I have been taking lessons from him he has made me feel super comfortable, and is good at building me up so I feel confident to go farther, and at the same time constantly challenging me, pushing me to excel. I was quickly impressed with his wealth of information. He has an extensive knowledge about the actual drums themselves, playing drums, and many different genres of music. Brian can educate on a wide spectrum of whatever is it you are wanting to learn when it comes to drumming. He is VERY thorough, VERY patient and VERY helpful. He is reliable as far as scheduling appointments, and showing up on time, and is always prepared. His rate is fair, and B Street Music(the store where he teaches) is an easy location to get to, as well as a great place to buy drumming equipment. ALSO, Brian helped me when purchasing my first drum set, guiding me in the right direction, and even checking craigslist daily to help me find the best deal! I highly recommend him for lessons, whether you are a first time beginner, an advanced drummer and everything in between. Brian ROCKS!!! Literally!

I went from attempting to play tabs via tab apps and youtube to actually learning how to play chords in various places along the neck, learning notes in scales, playing mini solos and actually playing entire songs. The songs and scales I learn and the pace are my own choosing. I've learned quite a few songs - enough to show off when camping. I mainly do the blues, classic rock, modern rock thing - isley brothers, richie valens, pink floyd, creedence, eagles ac/dc, green day, jason mraz, foo fighters, etc. He is extremely knowledgeable and usually picks up the chord structure without having to research the song. Additionally he's helped me fix/ refurbish my electric guitar when he saw some issues (the neck was bent/arched and he knew had to adjust the truss rod, modified the pickups, etc) which has made it much easier to play - not too mentions it sounds better too. Also he helped me purchase an acoustic guitar. He's so good that I stuck with him after I moved to the East Bay. Added bonuses Bonus #1: He's flexible about re-scheduling if you are on vacation,sick, etc. Bonus #2: He accepts credit cards (Square) Bonus #3: He has lesson blocks as small as a half hour making it more affordable If you are on the Peninsula look him up.

Having a very introductory exposure to piano a few years ago, at seven she has only had three months of focused teaching under Evan--she has really impressed us with her growth and skill. He has an encouraging way with kids, working through challenges, inspiring her by leading off a lesson by playing something relevant/familiar/fun (e.g. Frozen or show tunes, jazz). Most of all she has grown quickly by his challenging her, week by week, and her mom's guidance mid-week during practices. Evan's a great teacher and we are encouraged by what our daughter has learned, and how these skills and practice will bless her life with music and joy.

The things I learn from him about how to play piano with good technique, and practice effectively to get the most out of my time, are things I couldn't have learned on my own. He's knowledgeable and patient, and tailors the lessons to my personality and interests. He's also very easy to get along with, very open and friendly. He's unconcerned when the lesson runs longer than I paid for; it's clear that he just loves teaching and loves playing more than anything. Not only is he a good teacher when it comes to the fundamentals and classical training, he's also teaching me unique things that he's well trained in, like jazz improvisation, that I couldn't get from most other piano teachers. This puts him in a very valuable role when it comes to my musical education, and I'm thankful I found his studio when I started learning.
