Hi Dave, the Bass teacher here. I’ve been teaching Bass for about 30 years. I’ve taught people of many different ages and walks of life. I don’t run my lessons like a diet plan, I truly address what the individual in front of me needs. I’ve also been gigging on stage live since the late 70s. Which I will integrate those rules of the road in to the lessons if that’s where you’re at. Of course reading music is important. But we don’t have to go there right away. Music is a language. When you were learning to speak, you did it by emulating sounds and then connected those sounds to the language in order to communicate. I hook up those sounds that

My daughter takes lessons with Cal Music and has taken voice, piano and guitar lessons. In the years she has taken lessons, she has learned alot and had many wonderful teachers. The performances have given her confidence beyond what I though they would. I would highly recommend this studios for beginners and advanced students. I have recently decided to try to learn to sing as well and they found me the perfect teacher who makes me feel comfortable and I love my lessons also. We will be long time students here and would not go anywhere else.

I started taking weekly guitar lessons from Tony in the 3rd grade at St. Cyril of Jerusalem, and continued until my freshman year of college. I’m now away at college but still meet with him over the school breaks from university for lessons/jam sessions. Tony has taught me a wide range of guitar skills; from rock songs for my middle school band, to advanced fingerstyle technique and improvisational soloing. While he ensures students learn the essentials such as scales and technique, he also keeps them engaged by teaching the type of music that students want to learn. Any style of guitar I have become interested in learning Tony has been able to teach. We’ve gone over blues, rock and roll, jazz, improvisational jazz soloing, fingerstyle, and classical. Tony will make students laugh and learn at the same time. He’s great at what he does and he loves doing it. If you want to get so good at guitar that your friends become envious then Tony is your guy. Feel free to contact me with any questions or clarifications at [email protected] or 818-263-0554.
