I am passionate about sharing with you all the knowlegde that I've obtained from over 45 years of of studying piano with some of the best teachers available in the country. I will help you to both discover that sound image that is only yours and then to work on how to make that image come alive for you at the keyboard. I promise that working together will be a fun and inspiring adventure into that most expressive form of communications which is Music. One of the best ways to judge a teacher is by the way he plays. I am a performing teacher, still studying, and will be giving my second solo recital at The Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad in February 2013 and will be playing masterpieces by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin and Liszt. You are, of course, invited to the recital or it would be my pleasure to play for you at my studio or your home. Looking forward to sharing and learning more about our craft by spending some quality musical time with one another.

Hello, my name is April. I am a college student and have been a tutor for over two and a half years now, and I absolutely love it! I've tutored students K-12, and am truly dedicated to my students. I've interned in a Kindergarten class for over 30 hours and have received a certificate regarding my achievement. Since I wasn't given the opportunity to be tutored during my school years, being able to help students succeed in the classroom has become my passion.

My name is Jessica and I am your piano teacher.

I have been teaching piano for 8 years and I absolutely love it! I am a piano teacher at heart. I am a 2nd generation piano teacher. My Mother is a teacher and has taught for 30 years. I have been playing piano since I was 5 and haven't stopped since. I grew up around my my mothers studio teaching along her side since I was 11 years old...of course, I don't count those early teaching years as professional experience. Just as great learning experience most teachers don't receive.
I love watching the light in a students eyes when something new is understood. I find great joy in assisting and watching my students develop their skills with success! My life has been spent teaching piano and using
a curriculum that works for everyone!

Hello! I'm here to help you learn!

I'm a well-educated Math and Science Tutor who is available to clarify any problems that a student has in understanding their course material. I specialize in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Math, and Statistics. My objective is to help the student develop problem-solving skills and proper study habits, learn to effectively review for exams, and understand the subject.

I studied at San Diego State University where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biology, and a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Chemistry. I tutored while I was a graduate student at SDSU, and later, privately, as well. Additionally, I've worked for over 20 years in a variety of Science and Technology jobs. I very much enjoy teaching and have a mastery of Math and Science subjects enabling me to be an effective tutor.

I have been playing drums professionally for over 15 years. My styles range from traditional jazz, to jazz/fusion, Latin, Brazilian, rock and funk. I have studied music at Diablo Valley College, Southwestern College, and UCSD. I am a founding member of the critically acclaimed James Abbuhl band where I drummed and co-produced the CD "Voyages and Homecomings". My focus will be to get you to play musically. The drums should fit the music, meaning that as a drummer, one should play what makes sense for the music.

I will show you how to enjoy playing the piano. Your lessons will have different styles of music, and you will learn skills to play any music you like. Lessons are very active, and your lessons include how to write your own music.
I began playing piano at the age of 5, and play acoustic piano and keyboards. I am a member of the Music Teachers Association of California (MTAC). I have taught piano students for over 20 years in many communities, and in elementary, middle and high schools. I have been a professional accompanist since the age of 16, accompanying choirs, vocal and instrumental soloists, and musical productions. Some of my students have played professionally, and have gone on to become music major in various colleges.

With twenty five years as a professional musician and teacher, my experience has taught me that building a strong foundation, with a focus on musical and skill fundamentals, is the key to the success of students fulfilling their musical dreams.
Often I get students who come to me frustrated with their lack of progress. While teaching them songs they wanted to learn, their former teachers failed to provide the basic skills needed for continued progress. Once these basic skill were integrated into their lesson plan, the roadblocks preventing their progress were removed and students became more motivated and excited.
My musical experience and education include:
Twenty Five years as a professional musician and teacher
An AA degree in Musical Performance from Grossmont College
Grossmont College Guitar Ensemble
A former member of the United States Marine Corps Band
Three time superior rating in the San Diego Solo and Ensemble festival
Featured artist on two albums of...

Music has been my number one passion since childhood. It was in third grade that I discovered the snare drum in music class, and I knew there was no turning back. At the young age of 7 I had already decided that I wanted to be a teacher. My passion for drumming grew stronger as the years went on, and I was constantly searching for new challenges to conquer. Relocating to San Diego contributed to this as it introduced me to a huge constantly evolving music scene.

I'm currently obtaining my associates in music at Mesa College. I have been performing professionally and teaching around southern California for close to ten years. I've worked as a session drummer and recorded several albums and EP's for a number of bands. I co-managed San Diego Drum Shop with Jon Oren in 2011 to early 2012. I now play for a hand full of groups ranging from bluegrass and jazz to rock. When I'm not behind my kit, you can find me painting, cycling or enjoying almost any other physical outdoor activity.

Music is my life and drumming is my passion...
I first sat behind the drumset back when I was in middle school and suddenly, life had made sense and it was through rhythm that I defined myself. My obsession led me to a broad musical expansion in High School where I became strongly involved in the music programs there. Marching drumline, indoor drumline, symphonic, orchestral, concert and jazz ensemble filled my life with love and purpose. Some of my defining moments from those days were my involvement with the collegiate district honor band, coming in 3rd place for indoor drumline in all of Southern California, and being awarded the jazz soloist award for drumming excellence at the Cuyamaca jazz festival. After graduating I joined up with DCI group "The Velvet Knights Drum and Bugle Corp" and became the Tenor Section leader.
Now, Being a student in college, I have taken a multitude of music courses including, Jazz Improv, Afro-Cuban, Piano, Modern Drumset Technique, and Music...

My name is Mike and I have been studying guitar for for the last 17 years. I started taking lessons when I was 9 years old at a local music store. This is when I learned all my fundamental guitar skills. Later, I studied under various private guitar instructors, until I started teaching myself. I have been teaching guitar for the last eight years, instructing students of ALL ages and levels. Having started taking lessons from age 9, I understand what works for younger students, and what doesn't. I make each lesson as enjoyable and beneficial as possible, with proven skills to help you learn fast!
