I love to sing, and I love to teach singing! My extensive performance and directing experience in musical theater, operetta, and opera has given me a real understanding of vocal technique as well as the art of creating a character through music. I specialize in audition preparation - not only choosing the right song for each singer but also bringing that song to life. Studio recitals, held three times per year, provide a great venue to hone your craft, get performing experience in a supportive environment and try out your piece before bringing it to an audition.

Westminster Choir College of Rider University. She has studied voice
under the Late Ms. Norma Newton-NYC, and Charles Peterson-Seattle, and
has had coachings with Dr. Dalton Baldwin, Dr. J.J. Penna, and has been
mentored in Vocal Pedagogy by Dr. Scott McCoy and Dr. Christopher
Arneson.
Her performance experience is vast and diverse: recitals,
dramatic theater, musical theater, cabaret, choral, etc. (see website
for more details).

As a former elementary school teacher I bring knowledge of individual learning styles into my teaching. I think learning anything should be fun. I use board games, whole body movements, and music composition (at the computer) to enhance the direct learning at the piano. I'm a firm believer in teaching a wide range of knowledge about music, not just how to play the piano.

 After
many years of performing, I opened Harps Etc., the only full service
harp store in California and began a full time teaching studio. I have
students of all ages and abilities from age 4 to their 80's.
I have
been fortunate to have students who have gone on to become professional
players. My goal is to take you to where you want to be on the harp.
Many of my students play for fun, with community orchestras, in our harp
ensembles and recitals.

My passion for music began at an early age. I would walk down the
street and sing at the top of my lungs hoping that I would be
discovered. Life happened and non parental support for my love of
singing had me choose a different life style. Then later in life I
decided that I needed to fulfil my live's dream. I went back to school
and studied under a wonderful supportive voice teacher who has become my
mentor.
My goal is to help any student who has a passion for singing

I teach a fast way to learn piano and a very effective method for
reading music called, "Rapid Progress." I am not only skilled in
teaching piano in the classical and popular style, but can also teach
commercial songwriting. I have composed and directed a three act musical
for the College of Marin. So, if you like, you can learn how to write
music, too.
I am trained as a pianist and a composer, so I know how
to teach in a way that enables you to progress rapidly. There are many

Corey is currently accepting students for private voice lessons taught in San Francisco. He teaches a straight-forward, healthy vocal technique in the pedagogical lineage of Berton Coffin, Barbara Doscher, and Lynn Wickham. It is applicable to many vocal styles including classical music, musical theatre, and current popular styles such as Jazz, Electronica, Blues, and Rock.

I have taught private piano lessons to students of all ages, including
adult beginners and pre-schoolers, and have taught music theory, music
appreciation and piano at the university level. My most recent
institutional associations were with the Crowden Music Center in
Berkeley and with the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts in New
Orleans. I am an experienced composer and arranger and have worked
successfully with chamber music groups. I am a Bach worshiper. While
primarily focused on classical music, I have taught pop music and
