My goal as a music educator is to provide lessons that promote musicianship. I take pride in challanging my students to reach their higest musical potential. If that means the lesson goes over ten minutes I'm willing to make that sacrifice. As a music teacher for over 20 years and a professional musician for about 30 I bring a wealth of real world and classroom knowledge. Each student brings in a series of individual challanges so I'm always creating personalized musical exercises to help my student's personal needs. What I enjoy about one on one lessons is how powerful the experience can be. Without that interaction students are left to be j...

Amit C. says, "My son went to Orange Music Studio for a year until we moved. He took Guitar lessons from Juliana and really loved the lessons. He was able to attend the annual recital at the music school, and me and my wife were very happy with our son's performance. Orange Music studio is very well organized and there is so much happening there that we felt tempted to try out different activities. Overall I highly recommend Juliana for Guitar lessons and also Orange Music Studio." Read more

Do you want to learn and improve, but dislike traditional sheet music learning methods? Do you want to improvise, but don't know where to start? Are you tired of common chord progressions, and want to learn the quick tricks to turning standard chords into spicy chords? If any of these resonate with you, you've come to the right place. I have been playing piano for 5 years and guitar for 2. I taught myself using minimal sheet music, and had to reverse-engineer the nuances technicalities, and harmonies of each instrument. This gives me a deeper understanding of where technique can go awry, and my own experience has taught me how to adapt te

Reviews for Santa Cruz blues guitar lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Santa Cruz area.
Shruti P.
Orange Music Studio was definitely one of the highlights of my high school career! I took lessons from Gala Yaroshevsky for roughly two years and she was one of the most passionate and influential teachers I've had in my life. She has the ability to go far beyond just teaching the notes and techniques and makes music such an immersive, enjoyable, and unique experience for her students. She guided me through the Advanced level of the Certificate of Merit and both the Flute Choirs and Philharmonic Orchestra of the San Jose Youth Symphony. It would not have been the same with anyone else!
