About
Hi! We are Whittney Mikkél and Jaren Cloud, an artist duo and music production team known as Mikkel Cloud. We are passionate about music education and content creation! Coming from rich musical backgrounds and putting years of study and dedication into our craft, we are proud to deliver quality musical services to our students and clients. From audio production and composition for media projects to private music lessons for all ages, we are a dedicated partnership that offers a unique musical experience.
We both have Bachelor of Music degrees from the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at California State University Long Beach, and have formal training in classical and jazz studies as well as arranging and composition techniques. Individually, we each have 10+ years of teaching experience in a private setting and have coached choirs and band/jazz ensembles. Between the two of us, our complimentary skill sets allow us to cover a variety of musical concepts and instruments. Being artists and content creators, we also have a dedicated home studio space for recording, songwriting and production.
