Lessons With Catarina

I usually start by asking the student what they would like to get out of Music Lessons. What are their goals? What kind of music do they like? Have they ever taken lessons before? These are typical questions I ask during the first lesson. I then assess where the student is at in terms of level, and we move forward from there!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music with an emphasis in Composition and Technology. I also have 3 Associate's Degrees from Grossmont College- an AA-T in Music, an AA in Music- Classical Studies, and an AA in Humanities & Fine Arts. 

I have been teaching private music lessons in addition to group classes since 2017. I have been teaching online lessons since Spring of 2020.

I have my students pay at the beginning of the month for their lessons. If you need to cancel, just let me know at least 24 hours before the lesson, and you will get a lesson credit. If you do not give me adequate notice, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝.

I began teaching in 2017 at my childhood music studio. I was hired by my old music teacher who I used to take lessons from growing up. From there, I continued to teach in a studio setting for 4 years. I now am self employed and teach independently. 

I have worked with students of all levels. I greatly enjoy working with beginners as well as more experienced musicians. 

I have also worked with students that have mental and physical disabilities. I am always more than happy to accommodate each student's individual needs.
