Musical literacy and ability are my main priorities with teaching.  By literacy and ability I mean reading, writing, listening, and most importantly playing.  Music is a process, much like a language; it takes practice to develop, more practice to master, and a lifetime to explore. 

Sound Minds Studio is more than a music store; it is a community for musicians to congregate and grow in the epicenter of San Francisco's Arts District, Haight Ashbury.

My goal is for students to be able to use the skills we develop together to learn anything about music they want with confidence, and to hold onto that knowledge and skill forever.
