Neil Cormia
CLINICIAN & INSTRUCTOR
Neil Cormia grew up in the Bay Area, working in tech since the dawn of time (1980), writing music and sound software for many platforms, including the early Macintosh computers. His musical interests began at age 2, when he started on piano. In 4th grade, he took up saxophone and, by high school, flute and clarinet. He also learned oboe and bassoon and planned to become a professional musician. The personal computer era was too much fun, though, and Neil ended up in more than a few start-ups.
Neil performs regularly with a Big Band at the Big Easy in Petaluma and with various groups around the Bay Area on woodwinds and piano. His “retirement” gig is passing on his love of music.
