Our newest teacher: We just hired Vicky Grossi two weeks ago and are now accepting students for her. She started her studies on violin as a child, got her degree in viola from UC Berkeley, and then became passionate about the electric bass as an adult. She teaches all of these instruments. She is an active professional musician who plays in many groups around the bay area including funk, jazz, Big Band, and country music styles on the bass. She also is a recording artist on violin and viola.
