Hello, future students! I am a music Instructor with acumen for accomplishment and ability. I have a proven track record of success with positive training methods to maximize learning potential in all students.

I am a concert level musician with advanced sight reading ability, and have been classically trained since age 5 in piano and voice.

Additionally, I have been a featured performing artist since age 7, and frequently perform in recitals, concerts, and competitions.

I have over 20 years of professional music tutor/teacher experience- in piano and voice, and in solo and ensemble work, including choir directing. My experience extends to teaching in individual, group and classroom settings.

I have completed programs in three prestigious music conservatories, with Honors in Artist Piano, Voice, and Theory.

I love teaching, and I love the look in a student's eyes when they "get it." I am easygoing, but the lesson is business, and we will take care of it! After...

I fell in love with the guitar when I was ten years old, and it’s been one of the most satisfying, long-lasting and healthiest romantic relationships of my entire life. I am still in love.

When I began to play AND sing, the magic multiplied. Through performing solo and with bands, I discovered that other people also enjoyed the magic that was being channeled through me musically.

Then I found that I could teach. This was a surprise to me. I found that I am the kind of person who can explain concepts and demonstrate technique in a way that makes the new information fun for a student. My students enjoy learning, and I enjoy the fact that they are enjoying it. It is SO MUCH FUN for me to see a student’s face light up because something suddenly makes sense to them, and they GET IT. I love adding one person after another to the club of people who love to play and/or sing.

If you want your child to have more balance and a way to soothe or express strong emotion in a healthy...

I have a BA in Music Education, and I've been teaching for 13 years (voice, piano, guitar, violin) in classroom and one-on-one settings. I've been complimented on my ability to teach in a way that makes my students learn very quickly. I was classically trained and I excelled in the pop and alternative rock scene. I've toured with choirs throughout China, and the United States (including Carnegie Hall), and I also toured with rock bands in Spain, Mexico, Peru, and throughout the U.S.A. I currently am the lead singer (also playing guitar & piano) in the alternative rock band "Stripe Coats" (stripecoats.com). In August of 2009, this band released a 5-song EP and after a month we landed a record deal with label Tate Music Group. In August 3rd of 2010, Stripe Coats released their 11-song album under the band name Kaden. This album features artists such as guitarist Michael Thompson (Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera), and drummer John Robinson (Quincy Jones, Elton John). The...

I have a passion for music-making and my greatest goal in life is to share that passion one way or another. I'm a 22-year-old recent college grad with a degree in Music and Mathematics from Cal State: Long Beach and the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music. I've played in bands bands for about a decade and have headlined in venues across the US such as The House of Blues. I've written and recorded songs that were used in major network commercials and played guitar on national top 100 radio hits.

I was drawn to music at a very early age by my father. He is an exceptional keyboard player, pianist and composer with a career in music, audio and television. When I was a kid, I noticed many of my friends with musical parents were forced to practice scales, sight reading and theory on a daily or weekly basis and they treated it like a chore. In contrast, my dad simply shared his passion for music and showed me how fun it can be, which led me to practice and study on my own.

I'm a small town, Wyoming native and ventured to Boston, MA, where I received my bachelor of Fine Arts at the world renown Berklee College of Music. At Berklee, I studied vocal performance, songwriting and music business and became one of the premier vocalists on campus, regularly singing in the prestigious "Singer's Showcase" each year. Quickly after graduating, I was able to tour the United States and Canada in the national touring company of the Broadway smash musical, RENT. Since re-locating to the Southern California area, I've been sharing what I've learned during my career with students, performing in numerous musicals, venues and vocal groups, as well as honing my craft as a singer/songwriter. My song, "Drive", garnered honorable mention from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2001. I have two full-length albums under my belt; "Haven't Had Enough" and "Finding Me," and I'm currently in the studio recording my third, which is due to be released in the Spring of...

Glynis specializes in jazz voice, but has a very strong classical and musical theatre background. She is an arranger, composer, educator, and singer. She received her AA in Professional Music from SWCC, school for music vocations, then got her BA in Jazz Studies, Vocal Performance at CSU Sacramento.

Stefani's musical talents were first observed at the age of 5, when she began private study of piano and music theory. She played the alto saxophone for a brief period of 4 years during junior high and early high school, but then moved on to join the school choir at age 16. This choice led to the unexpected discovery of a beautiful, powerful voice. Stefani earned a Bachelor of Arts in Musical Theatre at the University of Tulsa, with special studies in jazz vocals, ear training, and theory. Her college career provided her with intense studies in the vocal styles of Musical Theatre, Classical, and Jazz. She performed in many musicals, plays, and recitals at TU, and during each summer, she worked as a cast member of Light Opera Oklahoma. She was a featured vocalist with the TU Jazz Combo and Big Band, and she performed at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame. She gained her first studio experience her senior year at TU when she recorded a full-length jazz album.

"There is nothing greater to witness on stage, than a singer who both has the talent and the ability to captivate their audience's full attention." - L. S.

I studied for 5 years at the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSU, Long Beach. I studied everything from Classical to Jazz, so I'm knowledgeable on how to yield results in various genres. My musical education, however, dates far before my collegiate career, offering assurance to my students that they will, indeed, get the most from their lessons: the Ability, the Finesse (sharpening of their natural talent), and the Confidence (which is one of the most vital elements of performance).

As a child I watched from the doorway as my older sister took her piano lessons. From that experience I taught myself to play the piano. My formal training came in college where I received my BA in Applied Music in piano and voice. I studied classical music and opera from a visiting professor from Peabody Conservatory, Baltimore MD. I graduated with honors and gave my Town Hall performance in the Spring of my Senior year. I had a passionate desire to be involved in music, to hear it and to perform it. I spent several years singing with the San Diego Opera Company, performing lead roles in Musical Theater and soloing in concerts from Monterrey to San Diego, CA. While still a student in college, I taught piano to children from the local community, so I have accumulated decades of teaching experience. Nothing brings me greater pleasure than to see an individual "blossom" into their creative self. Whether it is for a student's own enjoyment, audition preparation, recital performance or...
