DR. ROGER COSS

For over 15 years, I have worn the hats of an educator, jazz pianist, composer, and arranger. I am currently a K-8 music teacher and run a private teaching studio in Modesto, CA.

My goal is to provide every student with a unique learning experience tailored to their goals and needs. I offer both in-person and online piano lessons.

I received my Bachelor of Music (B.M.) and Master of Music (M.M.) in jazz studies from CSU Sacramento and Doctorate in Education (Ed.D) from the University of the Pacific.

I am married to my wonderful wife—a fellow teacher. When we aren't teaching, you can find us outside rock climbing, backpacking, and spending time in the mountains!

EXPERIENCED

You've taken piano lessons before but weren't happy with the experience? Maybe you want to brush up on your skills with an experienced piano teacher?

I can tailor your lesson to focus on a variety of topics such as note-reading, improvisation (jazz pop, blues, etc.), music theory, arranging, and/or composing.
