D’Arcy Reynolds Music Studio

You have found the best piano/​music /​composition teacher in the Bay Area (teaches in San Francisco and San Rafael)!
I have studied piano and music for the past 15 years, in both private and public settings that have included the Berklee College of Music and UC Berkeley, and I can honestly say that D’Arcy has been one of the very best teachers that I have studied with during this time. I started studying with her just over 6 months ago, and in that time I have grown as a pianist, composer, and overall musician in ways I didn’t think possible before.
I have found that one of the most difficult parts of finding a good teacher is to find someone who can adapt to your style and goals, while at the same time still acting as a teacher and pushing you in new and challenging ways. Most importantly I found it was hard to find a teacher who actually listened to what YOU wanted to achieve in music, but D’Arcy has done just that from the beginning.
Before studying with her I had a background mainly in rock, pop, and jazz piano and composition, and with her I hoped to focus and improve upon my classical piano chops, theory, and compositions, while at the same time integrating this with my previous musical interests and skills.
D’arcy has done all of this, tailoring each lesson to my specific and overall goals, and with her MA in Music Composition and experience as a professional composer and pianist, she brings a working knowledge of music that is unparalleled.
Regardless of your age or previous experience, or if you want to study piano, theory, composition, or general musicianship, classical or otherwise, D’Arcy is the teacher for you.

D’Arcy Reynolds brings wide experience and training — academic and intuitive — to her teaching. Her interests cover a broad range, from the fundamentals of classical performance, composition, and orchestration, to the music of other cultures and improvisation. As a fellow professional who has devoted his life to the art, I can recommend her as a unique, talented, and supportive guide into the world of living music.
