Allen
Allen has been teaching piano, clarinet and saxophone for a very long time. With over 40 years of experience teaching students just starting out as well as students at more advanced levels. His own musical adventure started in grade school on clarinet, which led to him taking up the piano later, to make up a song to play the saxophone to. His writing quickly evolved to classically oriented piano music. Known as Composer Schwamm Gabka, his writing also includes some pop songs and a couple symphonies. He studied clarinet, saxophone, piano and music theory in college and also studied piano tuning and has tuned about 20,000 pianos in his lifetime. Allen has participated in numerous performances including solo recitals and in various types of ensembles: Classical, rock, jazz.
