My students learn all the important aspects of singing right away. I take you in the direction you want to go, and I show you how to get there in the shortest possible time. I teach beginner, intermediate, and advanced students.

I've been studying singing virtually non stop since third grade and have had nine singing teachers myself, so I know exactly how you feel, and I listen to what YOU want to do with YOUR singing.

As my student you have access to the three books I've written: "SING BETTER FAST", and "HOW TO GET STANDING OVATIONS FOR SINGERS", and "HOW TO CONQUER NERVOUSNESS FOR SINGERS". These are the most current and relevant works available today on singing.

My Bachelor's and Master's Degrees are from California State University Dominguez Hills. My passion for teaching singing goes to all styles including Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical, and Country and Western. I teach singing in English, Italian, Spanish, and German.

Hi! My name is Mike C. and I am excited at the prospect of teaching you or your child.

I absolutely love to teach, but not just because of my love for the drums or my life-long appreciation of music, but because of my enjoyment of people and the learning process itself. I feel that this is important to mention, because if I didn’t enjoy what I did and take pride in working with people, then my teaching skills, curriculum, and experience would mean nothing. As anybody who has played a musical instrument can attest to, learning something new is difficult, and having a patient teacher who enjoys working with people is mandatory.

Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to study with some amazing teachers, including Carmine Appice (author of “Realistic Rock” and drummer for Rod Stewart, Vanilla Fudge, Cactus and Jeff Beck), Jason Lingle (Berklee School Of Music), Keith Harris (drummer for The Black Eyed Peas) and Lee Nichols, to name a few. My experiences with...

I currently have a studio of 20+ students and I hold optional recitals twice a year. The recitals feature students as soloists, in duets, or solo with piano accompaniment.

In 2011, I graduated with my Bachelor's of Music in Performance Violin and Viola from the Cole Conservatory of Music at the California State University, Long Beach where I also studied conducting, music theory, and piano.

I have been teaching the violin privately for over 12 years. I have taught the violins at Serrano Middle School and Woodbridge High School.

I job shadowed other private violin instructors when I was in high school. I also went to a 12 weekl teaching seminar called, "In Search of: A Guide to Violin Excellence."

I perform frequently with Montage Symphony, Dana Point Symphony, and Symphony Irvine as Assistant Principal Violist.

I studied the violin privately for 19 years with violin teachers from the Juilliard School of Music and Ken Aiso, former teacher from the Royal Academy of...

I have been teaching private voice for 3 years, teaching all ages from 5 years to adulthood. I believe that everyone who is sincerely interested in working on developing their voice will be able to achieve the results they desire through their hard work and dedication, along with guidance from me. I can provide the tools, exercises and repertoire for aspiring and developing singers to have a healthy technique and impressive performance skills. But more than these aspects, I provide support and understanding for my students themselves, not just for their voices. As a professional vocalist myself, I understand how important confidence in oneself and one's craft can be, and I approach the learning of this craft from all angles, including the musical, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects. A voice teacher can be so much more than just an instructor; they can be a mentor, a partner, a friend. I want to be all of those things in helping you achieve the progress in your vocal...

I am a classical violinist and art educator who loves to share the gift of music with anyone who has a desire to learn! I am a graduate of the University of California Los Angeles with a bachelor's degree in Art History, but I have received formal classical violin training since the age of six. I acquired my classical violin instruction from Richard Adkins, Alan Carter, and Jesse Gross, whom are each honorable musicians and masters of the violin! As well as participating in numerous solo recitals, I have played in every school orchestra since 2nd grade. My most recent participation has been in the Long Beach Community Orchestras (Chamber and Symphony) and Orchestra Northern Arizona. While I am a native of Long Beach, CA, I lived in Arizona from 2010 to 2011, where I taught violin at the Flagstaff School of Music. I have been a private violin instructor for the past seven years, while also assisting music classes in elementary and middle schools. My well-rounded musical training and...

I am a professional, gigging musician, teacher, producer, and session player. I am a graduate of Musicians Institute with an Assoiciates Degree in music performance, I can teach multiple styles including, but not limited to: rock, blues, jazz, pop, folk, metal, alternative, reggae, and classical guitar.

Thus, not only do I give instruction on basic and intermediate singing technique(s), I also focuses heavily on the performance aspect of music.

"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).

My name is Jason, and I'm a music/percussion/composition major at Cypress College. But lets try not to be so formal (that's what all the information below is for). In reality, I'm just an experienced drummer/percussionist who's looking to take on a few students to help and teach, and have some fun along the way. Not to say I can't be professional and formal when necessary, but that's not how I am all the time. In reality, I'm a rather laid back guy who loves teaching, drum set and other forms of percussion especially, and I'm looking for students who range from laid back, casual/ recreational players, who just want to get better so as to help express themselves throw their music, to more devoted, intensely involved players who seek training as a means to help advance themselves, and gain a professional status in their music and be as successful as they can possibly be, because, simply put, they love music, as well as everything in between.

To be specific, I teach...

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.

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,...

EDUCATION

My musical education began while sitting on my mother's lap as she taught piano lessons. I began studying cello with a member of the Kansas City Philharmonic at age 9, and at age ten, I followed in my mother's footsteps to play the flute. I played all three instruments, (piano, cello and flute) until high school when it was became clear to me that I wanted to be an orchestra teacher. With this dream in mind, I began playing the violin as well.
I graduated from Drake University with a Bachelor's in Music Education in 1989 and again in 1999 with a Master's degree.

PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCE

As a youngster, I was the youngest member of the Kansas City Youth Symphony and the Kansas City Cello Choir performing with these two groups for eight years. I was chosen from applicants nation wide, to perform in Carnegie Hall and travel Europe with "America's Youth in Concert" and I was a three time All-Stater.

While attending Drake University, I played in the Drake...
