Teacher In Spotlight

James S

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Mandolin Keyboard

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had the pleasure of studying with the best teachers in the world including: Piano: Dr. Robert Watson (CSUF), Dr. Lucinda Carver (USC), Dr. Burton Karson (CSUF), Dr. Rita Fussek (CSUF), Adrienne Iagjian (Student of composer Aram Khatchaturian), Oscar Peterson (Jazz workshop) Andreij Dutkeiwitcz (Warsaw Conservatory), Joanna Hodges (LB, CA) Voice: Dr. Jane Paul, (CSUF), Dr. Dennis Parnell (CSUF), Su Harmon (CSUF), Dolores Spencer Harpsichord: Malcolm Hamilton (USC), Dr. Burton Karson (CSUF) Violin: Vera Maureus, Dr. Peter Marsh (CSUF), Meredith Ashby Music Composition: Dr. Lloyd Rodgers (CSUF), Dr Edward Vaughn (Royal Academy of Music) High school: Richard Otey and Linda Carpenter (Edison High, Huntington Beach, CA) Parents; Dolores and Charles Spencer Disneyland: Rod Miller (Ragtime Piano)

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved piano and my mother was classically trained. I was inspired by classical and jazz pianists and had the best education possible. I studied voice as my mother was Met opera star and my dad was a noted country western performer. I have studied my whole life and I'm passionate about piano and voice. I come from a long line of musicians similar to the Bach or Von Trapp family. My great great grandfather Canuto Berea is noted Spanish composer, and I have several siblings that are also in the arts.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of being a noted jazz pianist/recording artists played all over the world on cocktail lounge stations and all my honors for my albums, and books. I'm proud of my degrees which include Fellowship and double MM and BM degrees in piano and voice. I have a heck of a lot of professional schooling to back up my credentials. I have worked with leaders in the arts including for Broadway Theatre: Stephen Sondheim, Carol Burnett, Nel Carter, Patrick Cassidy, Ann Miller, and Carol Channing. I have performed with symphonies all over the world. I feel blessed to get to do what I love every day of my life.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Most of my high school students are professional musical theatre actors/actresses, on television and in movies. My pianists are all professional, and I also have several students who are noted composers/songwriters. Those who chose to study with me tend to be intermediate-advanced level students preparing for careers in the arts or retired seniors. My students compete in competitions, give recitals or perform at Disneyland and local musical theatre productions. I also have 3 students working on their degrees from LCM with me.

10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Be Playing Ukulele

...the instrument is so danged easy to learn. It’s an instrument literally meant for everyone, so it’s not really something anyone can be a snob about.   There’s something almost Zen about the uke because it’s owned by everyone but also nobody at all. You might get excited about how well you can play it, but there’s probably children in your city who are able to play just as well as you if not better. In this way, the uke is completely more approachable and laid-back than other instruments, and these are qualities desperately needed in music.   Reason #10: Ukes are fun... Read More

Beginning Jazz Piano: Getting Started with Chords and Lead Sheets

...press down the E above with your middle finger. This E is an interval of a Major 3rd away. A major 3rd is the distance of four half steps away from the root (C-C#-D-D#-E). Keeping your thumb and middle finger on C and E, place your pinky finger on the G above. This G is an interval of a Perfect 5th above C. A perfect 5th is located seven half steps above the root of the chord (C-C#-D-D#-E-F-F#-G). Once you know how to play the C Major chord, try the formula out on other chords around the piano using the same fingers. ... Read More

Viola Maintenance: Keeping Your Instrument Sounding Its Best

...for your discomfort, it is also not good for your viola and proper precautions should be followed.   Adjustments   Every so often, it is important to have your viola adjusted by a respected luthier. It is most advantageous to have this done during seasonal transitions when instruments are at their most volatile. During an adjustment, a luthier will check your viola for open seams, inspect the sound post, and look at the condition and placement of the bridge. If needed, this initial examination will identify any additional viola maintenance work that needs to be done. For instance, replacing the sound post is a common procedure that ... Read More

How to Play Bruce Springsteen's “Born to Run” Saxophone Solo

...progression being played by the band is I-I-IV-V. The saxophone plays the fifth of each chord. The “intro riff” comes back a few times throughout the song. It is played at the beginning, after the first verse and ‘B’ material (after Springsteen sings “Born to Run”), after the second verse and ‘B’ material (immediately before the “Born to Run” saxophone solo), during the third verse, and at the very end. Something worth noting is that the saxophone only plays this specific line on the original studio recording. Every live recording I’ve checked out has the saxophone playing a different riff. ...

Bluegrass Guitar Lessons: Roll in My Sweet Baby’s Arms, lesson 1/3

...I am moving my left hand very little. Most of the work is in the right hand. 3. Memorize the chord progression once you get a feel for the rhythm pattern and the movements in the right hand. It will help master the piece much faster and make it more musical. If you have to keep looking back and forth from the paper to the guitar it will give you a headache. You may have to do a little of this at first but take the song in sections and begin to memorize! 4. Pay close attention to the pick directions that are below the tab line. This is ... Read More
