Affordable Piano Lessons
I would recommend Ernie Mansfield. He is an experienced musician, and knowledgeable on many instruments (incl. flute, sax, clarinet, piano, and guitar) which gives learning music
from him a bit more flavor. He has spent over 30 years as a professional musician & he will work with both children and adults - so you could take lessons with your kids!!! I have been to his performances and to his group teaching sessions and would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in private music instruction.

Kids are more successful in school, in life, when they take music lessons as children. Ernie Mansfield of Mansfield Music in Berkeley and a member of the Parents Network not only teaches and performs music, he inspires children with his passion for music. He specializes in piano, flute, saxophone, clarinet, and
guitar--and he turns kids onto music. I haven't used his services myself, but I know others who are currently part of his musical realm; their grandchildren and children are loving their participation with his classes. You can email Ernie at Ernie@Mansfieldmusic.com You'll be glad you did.

I would like to highly recommend Ernie Mansfield of Mansfield Music (510-524-2055, www.mansfieldmusic.com) as a flute instructor. He has been patient as an instructor and flexible
about scheduling. Most importantly I have found him to be a kind instructor and I feel like the lessons are from a Master of the flute.
