Background Education Or Accreditation
have had a longstanding commitment to education. I believe that part of a musician's function is to pass along their standards, knowledge and tradition to others. Teaching allows the musician to continue their own learning process. I have taught privately for many years and continue to do so. I have also taught in colleges and have done numerous clinics and Jazz Workshops throughout the United States. I have honed my private teaching methods to two separate but parallel areas. I emphasize development of tonal and technical studies while simultaneously emphasizing application of these techniques to musical situations. My belief is you cannot have one without the other. My educational background includes thorough musical training at Sacramento High School with bandmaster Aubrey Penman, private studies with saxophonist Bud Harphum of Sacramento and a few profound lessons with Lee Konitz. I attended San Francisco State University where I studied flute with Herb Benkman and Paul Renzi and composition with Albert Socco. The rest of my jazz studies took place on the streets of San Francisco during the early 'sixties.
