Eric Geller is a tremendous teacher.

My son took Bandworks in Los Altos last summer with Eric Geller. My son's main instrument is piano but Eric got him playing bass and drums and the band got along so well they met all year long to practice together. This is a seriously underappreciated program.
So much fun!

I was taking private bass lessons elsewhere for a few weeks... I was learning how to read music & whatnot, but I wasn't really having a good time. I quit my lessons & signed up for the BandWorks adult workshop in San Jose instead. I had never played in a band before, and I barely knew anything, but it was no problem. The practices were entertaining & the performance was a blast.
I highly recommend

I highly highly recommend BandWorks for any person, young or, um, "mature" (like me). If you haven't played for a while, that's okay -- the BandWorks folks will take care to place you in a band with others at your same level and the instructors are extremely helpful and supportive in bringing the band together for an ultimate rockstar performance at the end of your session!
