Allegra O. says, "Ali is a passionate and patient instructor! When I started drum kit lessons, I had some experience with hand drumming and Ali was able to leverage my background in a way that helped me transfer my existing skills to drum kit. He is a very methodical instructor and his curriculum offers a strong foundation in technique while offering lots of opportunity to have fun playing beats and enjoy the learning process. As a student, I was very conscious of the way he scaffolded skills and techniques, helping me move from basic rhythms to layering on fills and licks as I became more proficient.  He offered great recommendations for listening music so I could recognize playing styles I like in order to develop my own sound. I recommended him to a friend whose 5 year-old daughter expressed an interest in playing, and had the pleasure of seeing him teach her. Ali was adept at building trust with her, and adjusting his teaching style to help her build beginning skills while creating a fun atmosphere and cultivating a love for music. I would definitely recommend him for kids too!" Read more

Janice M. says, "Trent is a very patient and positive teacher. Our 13 year old son has been taking lessons for about a year and he has progressed well and enjoys his sessions with Trent, which says a lot if you know the mind of a 13 year old! He has even managed to pivot quickly and offer motivating zoom lessons when SIP was instituted. I highly recommend Trent. " Read more

Arav B. says, "My favorite part of being Dillon's student was his willingness to tailor his lessons to my particular needs, and his ability to teach me not just as a musician but also as a fellow human. Dillon was versatile, teaching me how to play many different percussion instruments. He helped me see through many of my goals and was the first music teacher who challenged and empowered me to feel like a true musician. My time with Dillon have profoundly impacted not only my relationship with playing music, but his mentorship during and beyond lessons has also shaped how I approach life as a whole." Read more

My greatest joy is helping people learn how to improvise with their voices! I also teach Djembe traditional rhtyhms, technique, and other percussion. I love to support people in finding their true voice from a place of play and non-judgement. I enjoy knowing when people feel that freedom and are able to take part in musical activities with friends or in professional settings.

I am a drummer with years of experience in the Jazz Field. I have a plethora of connections with bay area musicians and educators who can bring your knowledge of the Jazz idiom to the next level. I love teaching especially at the beginner level and watching people grow, trying to achieve their goal of becoming not only a drummer but a musician. Right now, I am taking a short break in between my bachelor of Jazz studies at the California Jazz Conservatory and have specifically studied under Gerald Cleaver, Alan Hall, Hamir Atwal, and Dillon Vado. I am excited to meet you and help you achieve your goals.

I really appreciate Jeff's clear presentation of concepts along with his patient teaching style. As a professional musician, seeking to expand my skill set, I needed a teacher who could appreciate where I was with my own music fundamentals, and then give me instruction and practice tasks to make fast progress on the drums. It's clear that one of Jeff's strongest features is his clarity in structuring lessons suited for each individual student. That's a mark of a great teacher!
