At the San Francisco Institute of Music we teach students the insights and techniques of the greatest, genius players. This knowledge and developmental foundation makes playing music much easier, freer, and more naturally expressive, allowing students to improve without limit. No matter how hard you work, if your fundamental understanding, the basis of what you're doing, has a technical limitation, you'll be trapped at a level you can't surpass. Surely, it makes more sense to study how the greatest players play, those regarded by professionals as genius players. What is genius? Genius is a paradigm shift. Can genius skill be understood? What one human can do, another can figure out. Come visit us at the San Francisco Institute of Music
