Berkeley CA

Description

All Levels Welcome (beginners through touring pros) / Free Introductory Session http://www.secondsightmusic.com/piano_and_keyboard.html * Tired of your playing feeling like 'work'? * Can't find someone to teach you the combination of styles that you've always wanted to play? * Wondering how to develop great rhythm? * Have chords always eluded you? (yes, your theory class was awful...) * Want to play in a band but don't feel equipped to do it ? Michael Smolens is a passionate piano & keyboard teacher (as well as vocal & songwriting) since 1974, and has coached other teachers since 2000. "I grew up only playing classical music through college, and felt stuck. But in just 10 months with Michael, I've already written a solo piano work and a new arrangement, and can improvise for hours at the piano (and even swing). Michael has the language for both classical and jazz, and his depth of understanding is humbling. It's like taking a college level course yet tailored to your own needs. He can quickly and effectively diagnose the musical issue whatever that may be. He is methodical yet creative in his teaching, plays beautifully, and has exceptional sensitivity to the music — thus allowing me to learn how to be more attuned to the music." -- Kim Mi Hoang (pianist/composer) other testimonials from students and professionals http://www.secondsightmusic.com/appreciation.html Michael Smolens can be reached at / if no answer, please try .
