Michael Zisman ● Bass, Mandolin

Teaching Experience: Jazz Instructor at San Francisco State University, private instruction teens-adults, former program director at Stanford Jazz Workshop, faculty member at College of San Mateo

I am the creator of the Real Easy Book published by Sher Music as well as other instructional books.

Teaching Style/Philosophy: “Although I come from a jazz background, I teach the language of music, more than genres. I pass on the aural lessons I have learned from the elders, my mentors. I specialize in helping musicians that have hit a wall with their playing.”
