Hi, I'm Glenn. Thank you for viewing my profile. I've been teaching students for over 20 years, playing all styles and levels of music, from day-one beginners to seasoned pros seeking to sharpen their playing skills. I teach both traditional notation and tablature, writing my own teaching methods in both formats. I can transcribe any song or solo for you, and can arrange the music to fit your particular level of skill.

I earned a B.A. in Music Composition and an A.A. in music theory, and have worked as a professional musician since graduation. I play in a variety of bands that cover rock, jazz, surf, oldies, and country, and also write and arrange music for those bands as well as writing my own music that can be heard on my own Youtube channel.

The first song I learned to play was "Pipeline." I own and play several acoustic and electric guitars, as well as ukuleles, mandolins, bass guitars, and lap steel guitars. I'm personable and patient, and my lessons include...

Welcome to my Take Lessons Page:

I'm Jim, a concert pianist, vocalist, composer-arranger as well as California music industry artist developer and agent. As the founder of J. R. Spencer Music, coaching students of all ages/levels has been my passion for over twenty-five years. Teaching in college, high school, and private school settings have also allowed me the opportunity to perfect my teaching skills and be sensitive to the needs and learning styles of my students.

As a specialist and musicologist in a plethora of musical genres, I can help you quickly become a master of any style of music you are interested in. Pianists will have the opportunity to study traditional Classical repertoire, or study a more contemporary approach focusing on reading charts and playing by ear allowing students to perfect playing jazz, pop, rock, blues, New Age, and Latin. Vocalists may also study all genres including: Classical/Opera, Musical Theatre, Acting, American Idol/Glee Pop, Rock,...

I began studying guitar as a teenager and began teaching at a music store just after graduating from high school.While in my twenties I taught myself steel guitar, banjo and mandolin. Most of my education has been practical: thousands (in the low thousands, but still thousands) of live performances, recording sessions and private and group lessons.

I don`t think there are any short cuts to learning an instrument (and I`ve been around long enough to see plenty of "master guitar in x number of days" gimmicks come and go) but a good teacher can help a student set realistic goals and meet them in a minimum amount of time.

I have been happily playing music for over 12 years now and it has always been the light in my day. Now it is my hope to shed that same light onto you or your child. I am a very friendly and fun teacher with a great deal of professionalism and patience, even more importantly I LOVE teaching and I LOVE music with a passion. I have been playing an instrument since the 4th grade (cello) and, as I learned how music works, was slowly able to pick-up a greater variety instruments with an increasing degree of ease. In high school, I decided to pick-up the guitar just to "have fun and rock out". I joined a band, played in the high school orchestra, joined the high school jazz band and began to practice songwriting and cover songs - at this point, guitar had become my primary instrument. Still, it was not until after I took my first class on music theory that I knew how much I not only loved the thrill of playing music but the discovery of how it worked. With this experience I can show you...

If you would like to improve your guitar playing quickly, I can help out. I have been playing and teaching guitar for 30 years, including studio work for film and television. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance from USC. I am also a former instructor at the Musician's Institute of Hollywood, and Dietz Brothers Music in Manhattan Beach.

I am a musician through and through, my earliest memories are of feeling the magic of music and it has been my surest friend ever since! One of the best things about music is that anyone can be moved by it and I want to be able to share that incredible feeling with everyone, to not just love music but create and participate in music.

With the right teacher the even the process of growing into your skills is fun and rewarding! In my 15 years of playing guitar I have had many teachers, some good, some bad and some great. I know what makes the difference between them and that is not so much about the teacher's musical skills. It is about knowing the student. I learn as much about my students as they learn about music and that is how I am so successful, I take the time to find out what they love about music and how they learn. By never losing focus of those two things, the challenge of learning becomes exciting instead of frustrating and people are surprised at what they can...

I attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston, and I have a BA in Music. I am a working pro musician, regularly playing all different kinds of gigs with different bands, as well as solo, and regular gigs on TV. I have taught music lessons, and guitar in particular, for 17 years. I play all styles, but my favorites are Rock, R&B, Country, Rockabilly, and Blues (I also enjoy playing jazz, classical, and other styles as well). My main instruments are guitar (electric and acoustic) and voice, but I play keyboards, bass, mandolin, and drums also.

I’m a professional bass player with a lot of experience touring around the world. Toured with Colbie Caillat, Andy Grammer, Redlight King, Ellis Hall, and lots of Jazz/funk/R&B/Pop musicians. I also do studio sessions and produce. Happy to teach everything from the fundamentals to in-depth theory, all style from slap to walking jazz bass, pop and rock, to latin and funk. I’ve been teaching for years and love helping kids and adults grow in to jamming, rocking, and writing on the bass. I also play and teach a few other instruments on a beginner level. As I said, I write and produce music at my home studio and am happy to share and teach my techniques. I write the lesson plans according to each student so that the student is learning what they want and need to know in order to have music at your finger tips. I've studied harmony and Jazz theory in college and have had several world renowned musicians as private teachers. I've been teaching for the past 5 years using the same...

Hi, I'm Garret S. For the past 20 years, I've been a successful recording and performing artist, an award-winning singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (primarily voice, guitar, and bass, but I also play piano, mandolin, and harmonica.) Music has been a faithful friend most of my life. And nothing gives me a greater sense of reward than sharing that gift with others, teaching them these skills I've acquired—much more rapidly, by the way, than I was ever able to learn them myself. It's truly gratifying to see it when a student experiences for the first time what it feels like to express yourself through music. My approach is very intuitive and bypasses the drudgery normally associated with music instruction. You don't need to READ music in order to PLAY music! I teach you to hear it in your head, feel it in your soul, and express it through your hands, your voice, your words. You'll sound better than you ever imagined! Does this happen overnight? Probably not. But with a...
