Omar G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Double Bass Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I know everyone learns  at different speeds so making sure they are comfortable yet challenging is important to me.Being able to know when the student is enjoying and not making it a chore is a key to helping and encouraging a student learn. Watching them progress in their insturment is rewarding in of itself and nothing is more satisfying. As the student starts to see him or herself accomplish each lesson I like to praise, push and encourage to keep on. Read More

Jordan K

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola

As a cello instructor, my students have been accepted into several top music programs including the University of North Texas, the University of Houston, Texas Tech University, Sam Houston State University, and the University of Texas at Arlington. Several have gone on to become teachers themselves. I have taught students of all age levels and experience, from beginners both young and old, to conservatory level; from basic setup and posture, to advanced left hand and bowing technique. Read More

Gloria G

Instruments: Piano Violin

I use different book series, depending on the age and level of the student. For young students, I start with the little Mozarts book series, lesson books, and workbooks. For older students, I will either use Bastien or Alfreds lesson and workbooks. This is mixed with a classical and folk book. We also work on theory, and making sure we know our intervals. Students also learn about key signatures and recognizing sharps and flats. Read More

Joseph M

Instruments: Violin

I'm a very warm and optimistic person, so of course I would love to have all of my students shoot for the stars with their goals when it comes to the violin! Of course, that's not always the case and that is always fine too. Sometimes not everyone is riding the same wave. During our first lesson, we will discuss your goals. If you are advanced, that usually means you aren't playing the violin casually. Read More

Carlos M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Bass Guitar Organ Acoustic Guitar

My goal for every student especially the beginners is to make them play like a pro as soon as possible with emphasis on playing music by ear. My way of teaching is kind of unconventional because based on my experience, it took me a long time before I was able to play any song that I like since reading notes would require unwavering attention and huge effort depending on student’s skills to be able to play it perfectly.

Isaac T

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Accordion

I use All for Strings, Suzuki, Klengel (scales) at the beginning level. I proceed to Concerto repertoire, Popper, Dotzauer etc. The usual classical repertoire. I will also transcribe popular pieces or pieces that the student enjoys to really increase motivation. I also test weekly to inform students of where their practice ability is at and what they need to improve on. I have a very effecient practice style that I have developed on my own and am quite proud of. Teaching is my life and it makes me happy to see students improve. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

James S

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Mandolin Keyboard

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had the pleasure of studying with the best teachers in the world including: Piano: Dr. Robert Watson (CSUF), Dr. Lucinda Carver (USC), Dr. Burton Karson (CSUF), Dr. Rita Fussek (CSUF), Adrienne Iagjian (Student of composer Aram Khatchaturian), Oscar Peterson (Jazz workshop) Andreij Dutkeiwitcz (Warsaw Conservatory), Joanna Hodges (LB, CA) Voice: Dr. Jane Paul, (CSUF), Dr. Dennis Parnell (CSUF), Su Harmon (CSUF), Dolores Spencer Harpsichord: Malcolm Hamilton (USC), Dr. Burton Karson (CSUF) Violin: Vera Maureus, Dr. Peter Marsh (CSUF), Meredith Ashby Music Composition: Dr. Lloyd Rodgers (CSUF), Dr Edward Vaughn (Royal Academy of Music) High school: Richard Otey and Linda Carpenter (Edison High, Huntington Beach, CA) Parents; Dolores and Charles Spencer Disneyland: Rod Miller (Ragtime Piano)

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved piano and my mother was classically trained. I was inspired by classical and jazz pianists and had the best education possible. I studied voice as my mother was Met opera star and my dad was a noted country western performer. I have studied my whole life and I'm passionate about piano and voice. I come from a long line of musicians similar to the Bach or Von Trapp family. My great great grandfather Canuto Berea is noted Spanish composer, and I have several siblings that are also in the arts.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of being a noted jazz pianist/recording artists played all over the world on cocktail lounge stations and all my honors for my albums, and books. I'm proud of my degrees which include Fellowship and double MM and BM degrees in piano and voice. I have a heck of a lot of professional schooling to back up my credentials. I have worked with leaders in the arts including for Broadway Theatre: Stephen Sondheim, Carol Burnett, Nel Carter, Patrick Cassidy, Ann Miller, and Carol Channing. I have performed with symphonies all over the world. I feel blessed to get to do what I love every day of my life.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Most of my high school students are professional musical theatre actors/actresses, on television and in movies. My pianists are all professional, and I also have several students who are noted composers/songwriters. Those who chose to study with me tend to be intermediate-advanced level students preparing for careers in the arts or retired seniors. My students compete in competitions, give recitals or perform at Disneyland and local musical theatre productions. I also have 3 students working on their degrees from LCM with me.

How To Sing And Play Piano At the Same Time

...play C and F major chords in one hand with half notes while singing the chord names in quarter notes. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of rhythms to sing and play with when you feel ready.       Now that you’ve worked on creating independence between your voice and hands we can add an actual vocal melody into the exercise. Singing over the same C and F major chords, you’ll now sing a simple 4-note melody. For these notes you can sing “Do-Re-Mi-Re” or any other syllables you prefer. Feel free to experiment as you gain confidence.   Vocal Melody (played over... Read More

Guitar Lessons For Adults: Taking Guitar Lessons as an Adult

...their kids is a great idea. This way the parent and kids spend time together in lessons, and both parties learn a new skill while keeping each other accountable during the week for practicing. A parent can’t say, “Hey Jimmy, you need to practice the guitar,” if they haven’t practiced the guitar themselves. If you’re serious about learning music over the next few years, what an incredible gift it could be for your family to make learning how to play the guitar a part of your household routine.

Suzuki Practice: A Daily Event

...What can you do? Number one, remember, you are the practice coach. A sports coach doesn’t take “I don’t want to” for an excuse to skip practice. You can’t, either. Your job is to gently, yet firmly, guide the child into the practice session and get it done. Chances are, once your child is in the middle of the practicing, he’ll forget his frump about practicing and will be just as excited as ever to finally play “Lightly Row” without dropping the toy car off the violin. But if there is sickness or injury, or just a hard day, cut back. Many years ago, the ... Read More

Here are a few things to focus on during this lesson. 1. Make sure you master the first two measures. It can easily be over looked but it will set the tone for the rest of the piece.
