 Guy Palazzolo is a pianist, vocalist, songwriter and
instructor based out of the San Francisco Bay Area.
For
20 years, Guy has provided background music for events
such as weddings, quinceañeras, retirement parties,
corporate events, industry association banquets, and
charity fundraising dinners at venues such as the Silver
Creek Valley Country Club. As a piano instructor for 18
years with currently over 40 students in the South Bay,
Guy is also available as a vocal coach, preparing aspiring
students to provide simultaneous piano accompaniment with
vocals during performances. Guy has been dedicating
himself to the songwriting craft over the past 9 years.
Additionally, Guy serves as musical director for
Christopher Demeter, a multi-instrumentalist and producer
based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Guy's
background was heavily influenced by his older brother, a
guitarist who played a great deal of blues, jazz and
popular classics from the 1930s-1950s, Guy developed
familiarity with these styles to complement the classical
background obtained from thirteen years of piano lessons.
One piano instructor's tips for creating elegant
arrangements of popular classics, vigorously employing the
practice of word painting when rearranging songs, and
listening to more contemporary pianists like Joe Sample,
and David Benoit have helped strengthen Guy's skills in
the area of rearranging popular classics. Guy's vocal
background was obtained from involvement with choral
groups in high school and work with Verlene Schermer, a
Bay Area vocal instructor in subsequent years.
