My goal is to help others develop their composition and/or music production craft to their highest potential. I work best with students who have a broad range of musical taste that includes classical and contemporary classical music. "Jerry Gerber is a composer of the first order who, fortunately for us is willing to take on students. I have had the good fortune to study with Jerry for two years. The lessons have been weekly and are 'one on one.' In the beginning, I had a burning desire to write music but only a limited knowledge of music theory. During the prior two years we have covered traditional 4 part harmony, counterpoint, and modern harmony. The lessons have included ear training with instruction in music notation software. With the aid of Jerry's infinite patience and encouragement, I have written several chorals, multiple two part inventions and synthetic scale pieces. I have also composed a 12 tone piece and 1 and 1/2 fugues (number 2 is a work in progress). Jerry Gerber is an authority on electronic music. With his input and assistance, I have been able to develop a small studio of my own. For those interested in music composition, harmony, counterpoint, orchestration and all things related to music, Jerry is recommended without reservation." Stephen E. Conrad, MD
