Brass

Hi, I'm Marc Gelfo
I'm a pro French horn player, life-long learner, and founder of Modacity, a music practice platform that accelerates learning.
My music journey started at age 5 with piano, which I continued playing as I learned French horn, violin, cello, trumpet.

I can help you or your child learn faster & achieve meaningful goals while having more fun.

Mike Shuldes has been practicing French Horn for 17 years and holds a Masters degree in French Horn Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. His primary teacher, Bruce Roberts, is associate principal horn of the San Francisco Symphony, one of the most prestigious symphony orchestras in the United States, recognized worldwide.

I am a firm believer in positive thinking and positive reinforcement. I've been teaching both privately and in the classroom setting for 6 years now and I've learned that a performer can have all the talent and skill in the world, but if they don't believe in themselves they won't reach their full potential. My job is to unlock that potential by teaching my students both the skills they need to succeed and the belief that they can succeed.

Low stress guaranteed

Members of my studio are always at the top of their game. With a mix of
challenging material, effective practice techniques, and a great deal of
fun, I push my students to help create their own musical paths. For
beginners, I equally emphasize fundamental pedagogy, music theory, and
artistry, in a variety of musical styles. They learn correct breath
control, posture, and sound production to facilitate good habits to last
a life time. After 6 months, my students have always improved 10-fold,

 I am a
veteran music teacher in the public schools, with extensive musical
connections throughout the Bay Area. I have played and taught violin,
viola, clarinet and saxophone professionally in orchestras and jazz
bands. I educate the Whole Musician; I instruct in music reading,
instrumental technique and general music appreciation. I will come to
your home (I do not have a studio.)
Besides, teaching, I conduct the
most innovative and family-friendly community orchestra in the Bay Area,
