I have been teaching voice, guitar and piano to students of all ages and levels for over 5 years now. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music with a BA in Songwriting and Vocal Studies. I teach mostly contemporary musical styles such as Pop/Rock/Country/R&B, but I have also trained and coached many students interested in pursuing musical theater and classical styles as well. I have performed live in countless venues in many cities both as a solo artist, and with a band as a sidewoman. I like to emphasize performance skills as well as the basic techniques. I also have a lot of experience in the recording studio, and I relate that to any student interested in recording. As a songwriter, I have co-written with a few of my students and coached them on song structure, melody, etc. I also incorporate as much basic music theory as I can with my students and their instruments, in order that they may understand the language of music better. Overall, I try to cater to the...

My name is Javier and I love to teach !

I believe music makes an individual happier and assists in intellectual growth. If you just want to learn 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' or pursue a professional career in music, you have to start with something and I would be more than glad to help you start in your new adventure.

So, here it is, a little bit about myself and my music background:

I am originally from Guanajuato, Mexico and in my last year of high school, I decided to take private piano lessons with a local teacher and it was during this time period that I learned classical pieces by Beethoven and Mozart. I also took music notation and I tried a hand at composing, discovering a new way to communicate in terms of music.

After moving to the USA, I resume my music education, learning new concepts on classical, blues and pop styles, as well as chord progression and accompaniment pieces. After a year and after completing the teacher training program, I...

Hello! My name is Catherine (Miss Cat)! I am a 20 year old college student at Cosumnes River College in Sacramento, hoping to transfer to Sac State as a Vocal Performance Major.
About Me:
Some of my hobbies are singing, playing piano, teaching, spending time with friends and family, going for road trips, and baking.
I was born into a musical family, with my father a music teacher and mother a percussionist. I began playing piano at a young age, and singing before I can even remember. As I got older, I transitioned from Disney to Patriotic, then Jazz to Pop, then Classical, Choral, and Opera- where I currently focus my studies. In high school, I participated in Concert Choir for all four years. I taught the choir during my Junior and Senior Year as the Student Director, and currently am the only person to have received the National School Choral Award (A Senior Student Award only) for both my Junior and Senior year. In college, I participated as the youngest member of the...

I'm Lilli, I'm very passionate about music! I have been playing piano for roughly 18 years. I am classically trained but also enjoy jazz, rock, and contemporary as well. I can read music but also stress the importance of a great ear! I am very flexible with the student and his or her taste in music. I have studied music theory for two years, and have been teaching for roughly 3 years.

Since my birth, my life was influenced by music and my father's passion to sing. My sense of music started not with understanding of lyrics, but of melodies and rhythms. As matter of fact, the first language I learned was music!! How is this possible?! Well, because of my hearing disability, I did not speak fluently and very well until I was in 9th Grade!! But with God's grace, I understood the language of music first!!

At the age of 10 months, I was hit with a deadly disease: Spinal Meningitis. But thank God, I survived. Because of the disease, I became legally deaf (profound-severed) in my left ear and hard-of-hearing (severed) in my right ear. I currently use a hearing-aide device on my right ear. Regardless of my hearing disability, I have the gift of playing music, understanding music, and living musically. I have learned and played keyboard since I was 8 years old.

Piano was not the first instrument I learned. I started off with playing drums which is my secondary. I...

Steve began his musical journey on the piano as a child, later moving on to explore
clarinet and trumpet in band before discovering the French horn in high school.
Though he earned his bachelor of music in horn performance at CSU, Sacramento, he never gave
up the piano, teaching students and accompanying choirs throughout college, and
earning scholarships for both instruments.

Steve has played for a number of musical groups, from orchestras, chamber
groups and community bands to being a pit musician in musical theater and
opera. This year, he will be joining the William Jessup University Wind
Ensemble and playing horn in that group. For the last several years, Steve has
directed the orchestra at his church, and has also arranged hymns and worship music
for church orchestras and smaller ensembles.

Besides teaching piano and horn, Steve's musical interests include music theory, arranging, composition, piano ensemble playing and ethnomusicology.

I'm Esther, a very enthusiastic musician. I started out teaching myself piano and singing in a choir at the age of 9. I moved to the U.S. in 1992 and studied music for 10 years receiving my B.M. & M.A. in music at California State University of Sacramento. I studied and trained with Claudia Kitka & Jackie Victorino for voice and Kirsten Smith, Joan McDe, & Angel Mamn for piano. I have performed many solo concerts in the U.S. as well as South Korea.

I find a student's strengths and weaknesses using various ways to encourage each student. I am very patient, kind, flexible, and enthusiastic and I love working with children as much as adults. I strongly support basic skills: sight-reading, pitch and tone.

I have 26 years experience teaching kids and adults private piano and 6yrs voice coaching (early period to contemporary). I speak fluent Korean and English.

I have been a musician since 7th grade, when I joined my school concert and jazz band. I stared with the trumpet and brass section, and I practiced piano and received private lessons at home. By the end of high school, I was ready to take it to the next level. I got involved in hip hop and dee jaying, which is my passion!! As well as learning new instruments, I formed a successful band which I played with for several years. If you choose me as your teacher, I will ensure you have a solid framework for whatever direction you want to take your own musical experience! I have a passion for teaching others the gift I've been blessed with.

With seventeen years of piano teaching, I have great experience in performance and teaching methods. With contemporary and traditional methods ranging from kindergarten to adults, I am willing to make lessons fun, exciting, and enjoyable rather than just the monontous traditional practicing styles.

Hello everyone! My name is Kevin and I am a pianist, vocalist, and instrument connoisseur. I have been playing the piano since I was 10 and taught myself how to play by ear. Growing up in a church environment I first taught myself gospel and later jazz. I personally love jazz, and this is one of my areas of strength. It wasn't until I was about 16 years old, while attending my first college, that I started exploring music in depth and as a potential career. As I started to delve deeper, I began to compose and have had some ensemble groups perform my pieces. I have arranged pieces for choirs and accompanied them as well. I also play guitar and bass guitar. As a well rounded musician I can teach you how to play the piano, how to learn music theory, how to compose and the beginning levels of guitar and voice.

I've been teaching and tutoring music students for about 5 years now. I've always loved and enjoyed music, and want to share that same joy through teaching. I...

I took piano lessons as a child and my passion for music blossomed. I have been playing for over 30 years. I have always loved writing my own songs, and finally recorded a CD of original contemporary piano. I started teaching piano in 2007, and I am passionate about teaching my students proper techniques and concepts correctly so they will become proficient at reading and playing music. I have always connected easily with children and consider myself very fortunate to be able to teach the joys of music to children of all ages! I have a Bachelor's degree in Communications, I performed as a member of a local college orchestra for 2 years, where I played second string violin and piano. I also have local representation with a Talent Agency for commercial print modeling and TV; and I have performed drama on stage. I am also a member of Music Teachers National Association (MTNA), and California Association of Professional Music Teachers (CAPMT).
