Hi there! My name is Brandon Encinas, violinist and violist living in the Los Angeles area! I’ve been playing violin for 23 years and work as a performing and recording artist. I’ve had the joy of sending some of my students to top university’s and music schools across the country over the last decade. I also record with studios across Los Angeles, and some of my favorite projects are done at home from my home recording set up, where I can work with composers and artists from all over the world.

My early forays into education began during my undergraduate work at The Evergreen State College. I quickly learned how fulfilling the process was, and was routinely complimented on the patience I exhibited with my beginner students. After taking time off to work on my graduate degree and launch my freelance career, I resumed teaching again after graduation, volunteering as a faculty assistant with a music theory course at a local community college.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what truly inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and the needs. Read More

My method varies from student to student - It really depends on the students level. For a beginner student, I would focus giving the basic music foundation for violin: posture and bow hold, solid intonation and tone, and good sense of rhythm. More importantly, I teach the student to be aware of how to create a beautiful sound versus a bad sound. Furthermore, I use Hirmaly Violin Scale book for technique and Suzuki Book for the music pieces for beginner students. Read More

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.
