The Music Room of San Francisco

My spring Advanced Level 1 class (plus a little brother), back before the pandemic. I really miss seeing these wonderful kids in person!

Our Zoom piano classes are going strong! This is one of our Level 2 classes playing "Butterfly." Today we sang "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" faster and faster until we were at positively breakneck speed! The kids have been real troupers through the shelter-in-place, and it brings a smile to my face to see them each week!

Don't miss the start of The Music Room's spring session! We'll have Level 1 classes for ages 3 to 6 and continuing classes for ages 5 to 9. Classes begin the week of February 4th. There will be two new classes for young beginners: The Music in Me (ages 3 to 4): Thursdays at 10:00 Harmony Road Level 1 (ages 4 to 6): Saturdays at 11:00... Check out our reviews on Yelp and our recommendations on Facebook's Main Street Mamas SF! In all our classes, students learn real musical skills and knowledge in a friendly and non-competitive environment. We'll be playing piano, singing songs, reading notes on the staff, singing solfege (DO RE MI), and playing on lots of fun rhythm instruments!

I've been arranging "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" for my advanced students, and I thought I'd share two inspiring videos... If you're an a cappella geek like me, you might enjoy https://youtu.be/jt3oAyK_IG8. If you prefer the more traditionalor you just love sparkly ballet costumes!you might enjoy https://youtu.be/Wz_f9B4pPtg. And for a gorgeous Tchaikovsky experience, listen to his Piano Concerto Number 1 in B-flat minor at https://youtu.be/ItSJ_woWnmk. Check out the piano player's beautifully relaxed hands on all the chords in the opening bars!
