Middle School

San Francisco Early Music Society Music Discovery Workshop

The Music Discovery Workshop, located in Berkeley at the Crowden Center for Music in the Community, is a rich experience for young people between the ages of seven and fifteen. Our day camp magically transports students to the 15th century by blending music and social history while bringing life and drama to the study of music. Instruction includes recorder, harpsichord, strings, chamber music, musicianship, crafts, costume making, outdoor games, and more.

Frances Martin

I have a vibrant studio, offering two recitals per year, and participation in events with the Music Teachers' Association of California and the California Association of Professional Music Teachers.

I love teaching and inspiring students to grow as competent and expressive musicians

Diane Grubbe

My students learn solid flute technique and basic music theory while having fun learning to play the music they like, whether it's the classical repertoire, popular favorites or contemporary extended technique. Students also get the chance to meet and perform with other flutists, both in my studio and through events that I host in the community, such as student recitals and flute caroling during the holiday season. My students have been accepted to competitive high school and university level music programs including San Francisco's School of the Arts and San Francisco State University.

Laura Lee

I have a lively studio (currently over 60 students) of all ages who can't wait to come to weekly lessons at my home studio, Strings and Keys Music Studio!

My violin students thrive--the school children are developing amazing technique and a love of playing music, while my teenage students hold the top positions in their respective orchestras. My adult students, whom I required to take lessons when their children were under 5 years old, have not stopped, years later!
