About Alden
I am a graduate of Yale University (B.A.) and the University of California (M.A.). I am an established composer and teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area; I taught a wide variety of subjects at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, until my retirement. My interests range from current work in electronic and instrumental music to late Medieval music, and everything in between! One student sent me a note after leaving for college; at the end he said "Please accept my sincere thanks for four wonderful years, from which I have learned what music is really like, and, more importantly, what a dedicated, sincere, patient teacher is like as well."

I have long experience working with students both young and not-so-young, native English speakers and not, beginners and advanced. Music brings us joy, and I think learning music should be a joyful experience too. Boring is bad! So I bring a variety of approaches to your unique situation: we listen, we sing, we learn the terms traditionally used in music, we look "under the hood" at any music we're studying to see how it was put together, and we talk about the historical context of the music. I prefer to teach remotely (via Zoom); in person in my studio in Oakland, CA is also possible. Get in touch.

Perfect! Alden is extremely adroit in his teaching and knowledge of music theory, form, and history. We are just getting started and I'm looking forward to the pack of lessons that I purchased.
- Ryan is eager and intelligent. Excellent foundation for rapid progress.See the response Alden :

Professor Alden is a very patient and professional teacher. I learned a lot about music in his class. Especially the beauty of the Harmony Progress, I really enjoy it.
