Music Lessons in Vallejo, CA. It's your time.

My lessons are built-up from a person's natural voice. It is genuine and has much more character than trying to unnaturally mold someone's voice. I teach various techniques with accompanying exercises for both group and solo vocal performances.

I enjoy building confidence in singers across multiple levels of experience, with the final goal of making them proud of their own voice and style.

I am offering violin lessons! Recently graduated with a BA in applied mathematics and music from the University of California, Berkeley, I currently play violin in the UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra and Baroque Ensemble. I also conduct and play in the UC Berkeley Chamber Orchestra and Summer Symphony. In high school, I joined the Peninsula Youth Orchestra, where I was a first violinist and later one of the assistant concertmasters.

Violin, viola instructor, performing art.
Classical music. Mostly traditional Russian method of violin teaching, also Suzuki.

Thanks for visiting my page!
I've been playing the saxophone, among other instruments professionally for a number of years in New Orleans and Nashville. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Jazz Studies from Louisiana State University, where I also studied classical music and theory extensively.
I can help beginners to build a solid foundation on the saxophone. For more advanced players, the lessons will be tailored to your specific interest and experience level.
I look forward to working with you!

Brandon G. has been privately teaching/mentoring Violinists for 7 years. Within the first few lessons, you will be able to understand the basic instrumental/music fundamentals and as time progresses, you will be able to improve your Viola playing abilities at a much more developed level. I use the Essential Elements for Strings method materials, Suzuki method materials, and my personal music library. Feel free to ask any questions you may have - I look forward to working with you and help you achieve your instrumental/music goals.

Besides teaching drum set and marching percussion (see description on "drums"), I also teach varied auxiliary and mallet percussion found in a typical middle-high school percussionist piece. Lessons can be on orchestral snare, mallet percussion (vibraphone, marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, etc.), timpani, concert bass drum, auxiliary percussion (triangle, crash cymbals, etc.) and basics of hand percussion (bongos, congas, esp. goblet drums).

Lessons are tailored to the individual student and their experience, goals, and materials available. Having the respective instruments at the teaching location is preferred, but the minimum materials required are drumsticks, a drum pad, and a stand for the drum pad.
