A faculty member at Marin Community Music School since 2018, drummer Sean Nelson became the school’s fifth currently serving Trustee in May  2024.

Nelson earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at Boston’s Berklee School of Music and moved to the Bay Area in 1996, where he established himself as a sought-after instructor at the Community Music Center of SF, Marin Country Day School, and New Village Music. He is also an active performer in jazz, rock, and pop settings in Northern California and beyond.

“I’m excited to play a role in Marin Community Music School’s governance and planning new and better ways to serve our community. There is so much more we can be doing to encourage music making among Marin County residents of all ages and interests.”
