    Hi! I believe that music is rooted in all human beings and cultures in a reach and vast variety of forms. Music unifies and engages thinking and feeling in a direct and immediate way. Music influences individuals simultaneously on different levels of consciousness and form an important device for learning, recreation, arranging of conscious and unconscious impressions and at the same time for characterizing and conveying ideas and thoughts. This as a point of departure characterizes my teaching philosophy, which strives to create a climate in which my students can experience continuous musical, intellectual, and emotional growth. As a music instructor and musicologist I demonstrate the characteristics of professional and passionate for everything related to my teaching. I am passionate; for I know the more I teach the more I learn. I have three educations: 1) PhD in Musicology, 2) Master in Music Education and 3) Bachelor in Electrical Engineering. I have about 20 years teaching experience and I am a California Certified Music Teacher I speak english, german, swedish and farsi and love to work with people of all ages. I teach: 1) Guitar 2) Piano/Keyboard 3) Drums 4) Singing 5) Bass Guitar 6) Music Theory 7) Violoncello Welcome to My Lessons *** Specialties *** Classical, Pop, Rock

    Mr Bijan is amazing! His enthusiasm for music is very infectious for all, including parents. He is a very seasoned and inspiring teacher for my 13 year old daughter. She only had 3 lessons so far, but has already made very good progress. She quickly developed a strong interest and trust in Mr Bijan’s mentorship. He was able to get her interested in resuming studying piano easily, which is something we had not been able to succeed for years. We are very excited to have her continue her path with Mr. Bijan.
