San Ysidro Music Lessons

About Me

That's what I do. I make my own soundtrack to life and I'd love to give you the tools to make your own personal soundtrack. I work on everything from Opera, Musical Theatre, and Pop to Country, Jazz and RnB. Whether you want to sing karaoke or make a career out of music, I can help you reach your goals and create your music!

I have been immersed in music since the age of 5. Singing along to the radio and cassette tapes that my mom listened to in the car. I started training as a singer during my freshman year in high school and have performed in numerous musicals, concerts, and operas since.

I feel that performance is an integral part of piano and vocal education and will make sure that my students are given ample opportunity to perform, whether it be at an Open Mic Night, or I arrange a recital or musical production to nurture each of my student's performance abilities.

I am a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing, (NATS), the American Guild of Musical...

About Me

I have been teaching and performing in the San Diego area for many years and have used that experience to develop lessons for any level of player. My program emphasizes all around musicianship in addition to technical ability. Being a musician is more than simply learning repertoire. I help my students get the skills needed to be capable, independent performers. While studying at UCSD, I was awarded double honors for my work in Guitar Performance and Composition. In 2010, I was given awards for "Most Outstanding Graduating Senior" and "Outstanding Classical Music Performance". In January of this year, my latest ensemble piece "Bell Music" was given its premiere in Zurich, Switzerland by Ensemble TaG.

About Me

Anyone who dreams of singing (even if it's just in the shower) should do it! My goal is for lessons to be FUN and to equip you with the tools you need to make your voice the absolute best it can be and achieve your goals!

I was trained at the School of Creative Arts in Sydney, Australia and specialize in pop, rock and indie rock vocal technique.

I'm from an extremely musical family and have always loved singing. (I almost pushed my parents over the edge as a kid because i would hum CONSTANTLY...) I lived in Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the US of A growing up and then moved to Sydney, Australia after high school to study music. I have lived in San Diego for 5 years.

About Me

About Me

"I hate practicing."
"My teacher makes this sooo confusing."
"What's a Chopin?"
These are real statements that I have personally heard. Statements like these have given me a desire, a desire to inform, instruct, and most of all, install a desire in you.

My name is Mario and I am 20 years young. I have been a classical pianist since the age of 8. Throughout this time, I have participated in over 100 recitals festivals, and competitions on a local, state, national, and even international level. I have been teaching piano and music theory since for the past 4 years. I can honestly say I do it for the love and passion I have for music as well as to receive the gratification of seeing a mind be exposed to a type of music that has been incorrectly stereo-typed as "boring".

My Beliefs:
It is my belief, that students should be challenged and pushed to a certain extent, so that their true potential may flourish. I do not encourage discouraging anyone that is making an attempt to...

About Me

They're both pop music! One just happens to be 200 years old.

Berklee College of Music graduate from Boston, MA with a passion for all genres, though mainly popular music. For me, music has always been about having fun and doing what feels natural, and I try to pass this on to my students.

In all seriousness, if it's not fun, why do it?

I'm super laid back, but I refuse to let you spend your money, or someone else's, on lessons like it's going out of style. I believe that the more fun you have with music, the more you'll want to play, and as a result, the better a musician you will become.
