I have a fun, integrated approach to piano studies which incorporates practice, improvisation, reading and theory. You become a complete musician, not just a reader of other people's music. This includes learning how to write your own pieces and songs, improvising to existing music, reading everything from classical to jazz and pop. Discover your own personal style and use it as a stress release, a creative outlet, and perhaps build a successful musical career. I have been a teacher for around twenty years, and a professional musician for fifty years. I am a songwriter and composer of many different types of music, a producer and arrang...

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...

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

Anyone can play any instrument, but learning to play by ear might be faster and easier than trying to read music or learn theory. Play first, then learn might seem backwards, try it! Guitar can be a frustrating and even painful experience for some, I get great joy removing those obstacles that prevent bettering skills. * step by step tips and tools to play by ear * 48 years experience playing guitar * 3 Decades studio experience, music production, recording, live performances etc. * Musical History and more details at: http://bradsdomain.com/music

Ernie C. says, "Joe’s class is a first-class romp through the many faces of African/Brazilian percussion. His class is exceptionally organized with clear goals delineated before each class, while also promoting a fun, no-pressure atmosphere worth its weight in gold. Pay attention, though, as you may miss an enlightening story about his vast experience in teaching, the history behind many of the rhythms you’ll play, or minute nuances of proper stick-holding, designed to technically ground the beginner through advanced drummer; his attention to detail is noteworthy. As I write today, I strongly believe I am a better drummer because of Joe, and I will continue to take his class as long as it is readily available. As I often tell him, “You’re the best bargain in Santa Cruz,” as you’ll be hard-pressed to find the kind of hands-on teaching you’ll receive for the price he charges, anywhere. " Read more

Christopher Austin L.
Ken Aram’s professionalism, knowledge, expertise, and consistency as an instructor of vocals has been a great pleasure to work with and allowed me to go to another level of vocal ability that I kept dreaming of until I started seeing results thanks to him. Ken has always shown great enthusiasm and patience throughout my difficult journey to grow as a vocal student. Also, Ken is very friendly, and I got to know him as a great friend.

Aaron has helped me a lot. Especially improving my left hand capabilities. He is familiar with many different styles of music. He is also very good at figuring out how to play pieces that were not written for accordion.
