Greetings! I hold a Masters in Composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and have spent nearly eight years teaching piano and composition in various locations throughout the Bay Area. Currently, I reside in the Sunset District of San Francisco. I welcome students of all ages and skill levels, and employ a range of proven techniques coupled with games and interactive activities to make each lesson enjoyable and memorable. My studio is designed to provide a comfortable and conducive learning environment.
In piano instruction, I utilize the Faber Piano Adventures approach, which I find engaging and well-paced. For students who are beginners or at an early intermediate level in music theory, I use Sandy Feldstein's "Practical Theory." However, for advanced theory, I recommend texts based on each student's abilities.
If you have any questions, or would like to schedule a trial lesson, please don't hesitate to contact me!

As an instructor, Jeff is both easy going and professional. Despite having no previous knowledge of music, I found him to be highly motivating and supportive.

My son has been receiving piano lessons from Jeff for approximately 3 years, and we can only express favorable remarks about him! Jeff interacts very well with children and exhibits a clear enthusiasm for music.

For years, Jeff has been teaching my two daughters whose ultimate joy is to attend his lessons. Despite the remote learning setting, we're fortunate to have been able to retain Jeff as their piano teacher. He's an excellent instructor who skillfully holds the girls' attention and improves their piano skills with patience and diligence. We sincerely thank Jeff for his contribution.

I appreciate how he strives to enhance his teaching techniques and adapts to my learning style. Jeff's love for his profession is evident in his dedication to enhance his craft and cater to his students' needs. He also has a great sense of humor and makes our sessions enjoyable. I highly recommend Jeff to students of any level.
