About Kevin
​
From as early as he can remember, music has always been present in Kevin’s life. His mother played piano and accordion while his dad though he did not play a musical instrument, listened to a lot of music. On any given night there could Herb Albert & The Tijuana Brass to the The Kingston Trio being played on the family stereo.
​
About the age of eight, Kevin’s mother signed him up for piano lessons with local Piano Teacher Jean Shell-Holm and it was with her that he learned to read music and be shown basic music theory. He would continue with the piano lessons until the age of twelve and it was right around about the time where the family had an acoustic guitar lying around the house and he began to take up an interest in it. When Kevin got to the junior high school he played in the concert band doing percussion and found that his piano training helped him out immensely especially when it came to reading the mallet and timpani parts. In high school he again played in the percussion section for the concert bands, and also began to play guitar in the school jazz band as a sophomore. He also played in various local rock bands during this time.

Our 14 year old son has been taking guitar lessons from Kevin for 5 years. Kevins experience as a teacher here in Petaluma was evident immediately. The ability to make the lessons digestible and understandable for our son prevented him from getting frustrated early on. He has since learned to read music, play the guitar proficiently (solo and with a group), and is able to translate the skill to other instruments. We can't say enough good things about Kevin!
