Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
Hello! I'm MJ and I'm a working musician in the SoCal area! I graduated from Concordia University Irvine with a degree in Music Composition in May of 2022 and am ready to share my knowledge with anyone who wants it! I am primarily a trumpet player but am also capable of playing the Piano, French Horn, Bass, Handbells, and more. I'm also very passionate about writing music and am particularly invested in the Video Game Music industry. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm a kind and dedicated instructor who enjoys working with all types of students and sharing the gift of music. In 2004, I graduated from Biola University with a minor in music. I studied under Manami Kawamura, an accomplished and amazing pianist. I have since continued my studies in music and have played at church and other venues. My students are what inspire me and fuel my musical endeavors. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
As of now, I have a business degree with an emphasis on entertainment and hospitality and have been playing guitar professionally for 15 years and bass guitar for 12 years. Some of the things I do professionally range from studio production/recording sessions to live performances (either with my own band or other peoples' groups or bands) and touring. I'm very grateful and blessed to be able to experience everything that I have up to this point at my still young age and nothing makes me more happier than to also be able to share that joy, passion, and experience with other people in the hopes that it might change their lives as well.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Every student is different so my teaching style changes depending their personality and interests. Some students respond well to tough challenges and criticism, while others buckle under pressure. For each student I will find a balance between their musical interests and information that I think they need to know in order to become a better percussionist. In lessons, I maintain complete honesty with my students about their progress, but in a reassuring way to watch them grow as performers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar
I can be a more laid-back teacher, but this is only if I see that the student has been practicing has been paying attention to the feedback and is taking it in as criticism and not personal. If there is a lack of progression, then we have to communicate what is restricting them or getting in the way of them practicing so we can move along and make them a better player. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
I believe that every student learns differently and at different levels. I also know that you get out of lessons what you put into them so I require that students practice at home in addition to their weekly lessons. I have recitals twice a year and I believe that being able to play in a group setting and having a goal of performing really gives students the motivation to practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I customize lessons for each student because of different levels, goals, and tastes. For children, I usually start with a beginning method book such as Alfreds or Bastien. I introduce the fundamentals and work at the speed of the student, encouraging daily practice. I like to keep my lessons upbeat and fun so I always incorporate pieces that are recognizable to the student. If a student has a favorite tune from an artist, band, or a movie I will find them an arrangement that best suits their level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As a child I often excelled academically and socially, but found a tremendous amount of jealousy and comparison both within and without. I found it difficult to identify my unique artistic voice, and often sublimated myself more than was necessary. As I stepped into adolescence I discovered that my unique gifts and showmanship had a place in the arts, specifically for singing and acting, and I readily found my tribe in that nurturing environment.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
It is my delight to have a Masters in Music that has been put to excellent use in my college, professorial career. Prior to that time I participated in the Broadway National Tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and worked as a professional voice over artist for MTV, EECI, Achieve the Core, Playstation and more!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They'll tell you! If your child is singing around the house at the top of their lungs, or using utensils to bang on the table, it might be time to sign them up for lessons! Music has been found to increase discipline, comprehension and academic scores. If your child is longing for more community, greater confidence and self-acceptance, the arts are a wonderful resource to utilize!
When will I start to see results?
This is the wrong question :) The most important shift in your child's life will most likely be internal, and relatively quiet. The moment of success is not the moment most apparent to the crowd. When your child is smiling, enjoying themselves and in acceptance of the full range of their emotions, the arts can be a valuable resource for bolstering their self-identity and fulfillment. Awards are important. Tests are important. Performance is important. But humanity and self-worth far outstrip any external result that is quantifiable.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Many, many teachers that have inspired me over the years. Bob Richard, from the National Tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" continues to be an amazing choreographer and director. Professor Al Clifft of Azusa Pacific University was a tremendous asset in my academic growth. And the unique relationships of family, friends and creative colleagues have added to my own unique creative diversity.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For young children practice time can be easily included with other academic pursuits, otherwise it will mostly likely not happen. I also like to motivate younger kids with stickers, awards and candy, when applicable. External and internal rewards are a huge component of long term growth. I also offer steady performance opportunities for increased motivation...
