I teach at Holy Innocents Church, Corte Madera. My favorite pianists are Richter and Gillels. I loved living in Vienna, Austria, during my twenties, and attended perhaps thousands of concerts there.
Music is for everyone, as Kodaly said, and it is the job of the schools to teach music.
Although I have been a professional performer for most of my life and I am still actively concertizing, teaching is my grand passion, as is watching my students go on to one success after another. I specialize in restarting stalled careers for professional singers, in correcting physical issues both with singing and with harpists, and in making things much easier so you can get back to making music and not have to worry so much.
I have over ten years' experience working with musicians of all ages. References available.

String and woodwind players at intermediate and advanced levels are encouraged to sign up for a small chamber ensemble, and are placed in a trio, quartet, or quintet that has a weekly coaching session and rehearsal.
The Music Conservatory offers a wide array of options for adults and children who are not enrolled at San Domenico School through our Community School. Whether a student is just beginning an instrument, or is at an advanced level, faculty work to place the student in lessons and ensembles that serve the student's musical needs. Participants in the Music Conservatory’s programs perform in recitals throughout the school year.
The Full Program runs for a full year (Aug 24-Aug 22). Enrollment includes 1 lesson every week of either 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes in duration (that’s 46 lessons in a year!) and 10 Academy events. These events are listed below:
In this ensemble, students will explore the guitar in a group setting, learning both rhythm accompaniment techniques and music theory. Further development and refinement of basic skills. Introduction to beginning and more intermediate and advanced techniques. Students enrolling in the Beginning class do not any experience, but it is helpful. Student provides his or her own guitar. Students enrolling in the intermediate level class must have prior experience on guitar and understand basic chords/scales.
My instruction is appropriate for intellectually curious musicians/music lovers. Please browse through my online CV before deciding to contact me. http://www.stanford.edu/~ichriss/
