Ready to embark on a musical journey?

My name is Rod Contreras

With over 25 years of teaching experience in the heart of Encinitas, I bring a fresh and personalized approach to every lesson. By focusing on your unique interests, we explore how the hidden architecture of music has shaped artists from Bach to the Beatles and beyond. How will it shape you?

 

How do rhythm, note reading, harmony, and music technology create a dynamic process that inspires us to dive deeper into the language of music? You’ll play on a stunning Boston acoustic piano and explore diverse learning modalities, including custom play-along tracks, ear-training and note-reading challenges, original arrangements, and an exploration of how the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci sequence appear both in nature and in music. You’ll also have the option to learn about synthesizers, drum machines, and loopers. Plus, after each session, you’ll receive audio and video recordings with detailed practice guides and a summary of everything we covered.

 

My goal is to help each student tap into their unique learning blueprint through music. This, in turn, deepens our connection to our innate creativity, rooted in the profound intelligence of our musical bodies and minds.
