Music Lessons in Charter Oak, CA

Instruments: Drums

I am an inspired and hard-working instructor that strives to give his students the best education possible.  I graduated from the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music in Fall 2013 where I was a member of the top performing groups such as the Concert Jazz Orchestra and Pacific Standard Time.  In my studies I have had the experience to play and learn from world class musicians and teachers. As a teacher I have worked with countless students at all levels of experience and cater my lessons to what the student wants to get out of learning music. Read More

In 2013, I decided to move to the United States and broadened my musical scope to include not only Classical music but also popular genres such as Latin jazz, Traditional Cuban music and folklore. Aside from performing, I am also a music teacher who has been involved in various educational works, including Caesura Youth Orchestra, a non-profit organization that strives to give underprivileged children a better life through the learning of music.

Every person is different as every student is different, so I make a point to cater to the individual and not get locked into an umbrella method of teaching. I make myself available to each student to ask questions and get the most information out of whatever subject we might be discussing/learning. I make sure that each students needs get met by determining on day 1 of lessons what they want to get out of music and the instrument they are learning. Read More

When studying with me, students can expect a comfortable and fun atmosphere that promotes experimentation and positive reinforcement. Employing a curriculum that is equal parts formal technique and informal playing of the students favorite music, I make every lesson engaging and exciting. After 3 to 6 months, beginners should expect to be able to play many of their favorite songs, have a firm grasp on basic scales, chords, theory and sight reading, and can even begin writing their own songs and improvising solos!

How my classes work, I basically listen to your questions and demands if you have some. I show and work with you on some exercises (with a click first!). Then include it in a musical context with different songs. We will always keep in mind we are here to play music and have fun! I can adapt to your needs but also drive you in case you need it. I'll also teach you a lot about methodology and the best way to improve yourself behind the instrument.. and more! Read More

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion Djembe

My students see me repeatedly for years and they know that I only ask them to do their best, and they recognize when they fall short. I talk to my kids like adults, and they respond maturely. They are aware that I have my own drumming goals and that their progress is NOT the absolute most important thing on my list. This keeps them motivated. My lessons are more demanding then other teachers, and although my methods seem tough, I am constantly surprised of the many invitations I get to my students' performances, plays, sports games, birthday parties, thanksgiving dinners, etc. Read More

Hello. Sean O., here. I have been playing professionally for almost twenty years and am excited to be sharing my skills and knowledge, once again. I attended Kinder High School for Performing and Visual Arts, where I studied Jazz bass and music theory. My musical repertoire ranges from hardcore punk and metal, to pop, soul, reggae and blues. Playing consistently has also taken me across the country on tour and into some incredibly varied live venues. Read More
