I teach students how to prepare for all aspects of live and studio performance. Working with me and my contacts in the music industry, students have the opportunity to learn and grow exponentially. 

These include open mics, auditions, solo and ensemble singing, songwriting, recording, promotion, and other aspects of the music business, my students are given the tools and opportunities to implement what they have learned, as well as share their incredible talent.

Below are just a few of the performances some of my students have participated in. There have been many showcases, open mics, feature sets at Sweetwater Music Hall & HopMonk, Novato, house concerts, festival performances, recording sessions and more that are not posted here. Check back for updates!

Performing Saturday, August 23, 2025 Karl the Store in Sausalito from 12-2

You can hear one of my favorite singer/songwriter's Charly Kerr perform her original songs and covers outdoors at the MV Lumberyard (in front of Aviator Nation).

 Charly has an extraordinary catalog of original songs, and has recorded an ep of her songs with Producer Jim Greer, as well as 3 originals with Producer Renee Harcourt and multiple originals with Producer Lane Murchison. 

I have been coaching Charly since she was just 11 yrs young. 

She has performed at Sweetwater Music Hall, Hopmonk Novato, and for the Narada Michael Walden Foundation. 

She is currently wrapping up her Freshman year of college at NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music in NYC. Don't miss this rare Bay Area appearance!
