"Intro

Hi, my name is Yushan, but feel free to call me Susan too! I am currently a music major at CCSF, and I have been studying music for 6 years. I also worked as a teaching assistant at an after-school program in an elementary school, where I helped with art enrichment for 3rd–5th grade students. Additionally, I earned a Developing Your Musicianship certificate from Berklee College of Music. In my lessons, you will learn the fundamentals of music theory, including intervals, chords, melody, rhythm, and scales. You can also learn essential musical skills such as sight-singing and ear training if needed. I love working with different students, and I hope to make music theory more fun and help you enjoy music even more. I will do my best to support you, and I look forward to meeting you!

"I’ve known Ms. Mei for 6 years, and she is a really kind, amazing person. She would be a great teacher if you’re looking for a music theory coach.

Hey my name's Derek Schmidt and I'm a musician, sound designer, and music educator living in SF. I have a Masters in Music Composition and decades of performing experience.I've played piano for over three decades, for performance, production, and composition. I come at piano from an composer/songwriter perspective, so I can ground the lessons in music theory to help it all make sense, no matter what instrument you decide to play. I best teach beginning and intermediate students who want to explore different musical styles.

"“I’ve been wanting to continue my learning of ukulele and guitar. Derek is such a knowledgeable and patient teacher. I love how he breaks down the understanding of music theory and composition. I’ve had other guitar teachers that have taught me how to copy music tabs but Derek is really great in explaining the why of music!” – T.

I’ve played football my whole life. I started playing flag football for a year when I was 6 later playing tackle football all the way to high school. I played at Hanford High near Fresno.

I have a lot of knowledge of the game of football and I feel like I would be a good fit. I know about all positions and I do this for the love of the game not for money.
