Music Lessons
“I wish I hadn’t learned to play the piano,” said no one ever.
My primary goal as a teacher is to foster love of music through playing, composing, and listening. There are as many ways to engage in music-making as there are people. I strive to nurture well-rounded musicians by instilling a breadth of essential skills, both musical and technological. Students receive the tools necessary to thrive as self-sufficient 21st-century artists, capable of continuing their own musical growth long after lessons are complete.
As a classical pianist trained at San Francisco Conservatory and USC Thornton School of Music; a composer with scores on major broadcast networks and classical compositions performed by top ensembles; and a producer and engineer for artists with hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners -- Sam is uniquely qualified to provide both the strong classical foundations and the cutting-edge technological skills required for students of all ages and backgrounds to thrive as 21st-century musicians.
Private lessons in Piano, Composition, Arranging, and Production are offered both in-person and online. Please inquire for rates and availability.
