About Judy
I started taking music lessons at the age of 9. It began playing in the church and then I taught lessons in my home at the age of 16. I went on to attend and graduate from Christian Heritage College (now called San Diego Christian College) with a Bachelors Degree in Music and Business. I am now the Director of the Music Department at San Diego Young Artists Music Academy. I direct two youth and children choirs, a male chorus and a great adult choir. I also sing with the Voices of Prayze who travel with Jason Mraz from time to time. As a singer, pianist and as a teacher, I specialize in Gospel piano & vocal technique and repertoire. I also have a great deal of experience in Pop, R&B, and Classical so I am able to help students excel in these genres as well.

nd rewarding experience – having fun is part of my lesson plan. My goal for each student is to build confidence through knowledge and experience. I will encourage each student to reach into their spirit and bring out what is already inside of them through the type of music that brings them happiness. After 3- 6 months of lessons from me pianist will be able to know beginning concepts, play songs of their choice by ear and note read simple songs also. Singers will know beginning vocal exercises, be able to project their voice, and sing high and low notes accurately to songs according to their ability.

Hello.
I'm a cellist - conservatory graduate - offering cello lessons. I teach a wide range of students from young children just starting the instrument, to adults picking up the cello as a second instrument, to teenagers working on advanced repertoire.
I emphasis natural, effortless playing, which I explain in simple, easy steps. I also work to help each student discover their own musical voice through singing and other approaches to feeling and expressing music.
As a performer, I've played everything from classical recitals to baroque chamber concerts to recordings with songwriters. I've performed with Boston Ballet and other area orchestras and regularly perform solo and chamber concerts. I also have some experience with improvisation, arranging, and composition.

About Denise
I've always had a love for music. When I was 8 years old, I taught myself how to read music before my first piano lesson because I was so excited to learn. I continued taking piano lessons throughout my school days and became involved in choir in high school.
When I began college I decided to study business. I auditioned for choir and realized that my dream was to become a music educator. I graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music. I studied piano, voice, clarinet, and music education. I had a lot of experience playing the piano and singing that I decided to learn the clarinet and join the concert band so I could have band experience.

I am a substitute teacher and have the opportunity to work with students from preschool to high school and am able to use my knowledge of each age group and school curriculum in teaching music.

*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are tailored to each individual student's needs. I think everyone is special and has their own unique way of learning and customized lessons should reflect that. I believe that music theory is important and I include that in lessons. For piano lessons I mainly use Alfred's piano books. In each lesson I will demonstrate the necessary skills in order for the students to feel comfortable in taking the music home to practice. For voice lessons I include vocalizations, vocal technique, and song study.
I want students to have fun with music. I am very patient and I think it's important to encourage and praise students. I hope to instill the desire to learn in each student.

About olivia
I am currently a student at California State University San Bernardino, and I'm going to graduate this year with a Bachelors in music, with a concentration in vocal performance. My goal as a singer is primarily to perform, as I've been doing it my whole life and it has been my passion since I can remember. While I've studied classical music at school, I sing many genres. I would like to teach lessons to share what I have learned, because I can help singers achieve a good foundation for good singing. As a singer it's important to understand breathing and technique so as not to make yourself tired or even cause damage within the vocal chords.
My experience as a performer the past few years has been through school. I have been in many productions within opera theatre as well as had roles in musical theatre. I was the female lead in "Don Pa
My experience as a performer the past few years has been through school. I have been in many productions within opera theatre as well as had roles in musical theatre. I was the female lead in "Don Pa
squale" in 2016, as Norina, and sang the lead in "Monkey See Monkey Do" as Maria. I played Alba in "La Curandera" in 2015, and Cinderella in "Into the Woods" that same year. I have sung with the vocal jazz ensemble as well as the chamber singers at CSUSB for about four years. While I was very involved in performing through Cal State, I also enjoyed singing before I decided to further my education in college.At a very young age I was involved in music and entered many talent shows and competitions. I was in the televised series "American Juniors" when I was about nine. And won the Inland Empire talent search when I was around 12 years old. In 2008 I sung for the Blue Jay Jazz festival accompanied by the Carl Saunders Sextet, and the same year at the Lake Arrowhead film festival hosted by Gloria Loring. I received a scholarship from the Blue Jay Jazz foundation and have used it to further my music career. I have also sung a number of times as a guest artist at the L.A. African American museum, and for the L. A. Walk-a-thon. have loved singing, and am continuing my career when I graduate as I would like to continue my education and experience, as well as help other singers improve their teqhnique and musicianship skills, as well as develop their own unique sound.

About Dominic
Hi! My name is Dominic and I'm a lifelong lover of music. I've found through experience with studios, other musicians, and professional teachers, that teaching music is what I want to do. I have a huge passion to help students stay interested and engaged, because I believe that if a student loves what they are doing, they WILL become great at it. I would love to cultivate that success! Students will be taught theory, technique, and performance skills. These skills are vital to a students growth, and will be a major focus in my lessons. They will also learn to play music that they enjoy, alongside practical repertoire. I teach beginning piano, violin, ukulele, and guitar lessons. If you're looking for someone with a flexible schedule, lessons offered on and offline, and a passion for teaching new skills, consider me as your teacher!

Hey Ya'll!
I'm Laura, and I grew up in a log cabin in Kentucky, no joke! My three sisters and I sang in the church where my Mama played organ, and our family had a bluegrass band. I learned piano at an early age from my Grandpa Joe, and played French Horn and Mellophone in Marching Band and Concert band through Middle school and High School. At the University of Kentucky I was in some of the best Collegiate choirs in the country, and thats also when I started playing in my own band.
I moved to Europe when I was 20, and started playing street music and performing locally. Well, that turned into me having my own variety show called the Southern Flavor Show, and touring quite a bit, all over Europe.
Now, I'm settled in Redlands CA, and work part-time in the Music Industry in Los Angeles at one of the worlds leading recording studios.

Now, I'm settled in Redlands CA, and work part-time in the Music Industry in Los Angeles at one of the worlds leading recording studios.
We record all kinds of music there, but my favorite music is and will always be the Bluegrass, Folk, and Country music that I grew up with. I'm excited about getting to share my love of music with you!
My main goal is for you to stay inspired and for this to be fun- music technique and practicing can be challenging, but we will find ways to keep you interested and motivated, by listening to lots of recorded music, and making sure you really love the songs you are learning.
I have a special focus on preparation for live performance and jam situations, based on years of practical experience. I know and can relate to performance anxiety, and know exactly how to get you or your child ready for a live performance, music video, or show. As they say, the show must go on, and it’s your time to shine!

I feel that I learn from my students, as well, and am always interested in expanding my teaching to accommodate their unique musical interests and strengths. It's also very rewarding to see a student's sense of accomplishment, newfound freedom, and individual expression, as they progress on each step of the learning process.
I strive to be as clear as possible in my explanations of technique and welcome questions and observations from my students.
