Recent expansion of The Tinturin Music Studio allows us to now offer expert training in three locations in Southern California.

 

Music Lessons are an essential part of your child's education. Music training prepares young minds to handle a wide variety of tasks outside of music itself. While studies have shown that music training affects the physical development of the brain, it is also a universal language, and a "window to other cultures of the world." Playing music is also a valuable skill for adults. A haven from the responsibilities and stresses of daily life, playing music offers an opportunity to re-direct your energies into a program that develops creativity, self-esteem, enjoyment, relaxation, and gratification.

Piano Lessons
The preferred instrument for a young child is piano, because of it's simple layout and ease of playing. The piano layout also makes theory learning easier. Research has shown that learning piano sensitizes young children to pattern, space, and time sequencing, and improves cognitive skills, eye-hand coordination, and spatial reasoning. These are directly linked to math and science proficiency. With piano lessons, the student can also experience the fun and enjoyment of playing music in a relatively short time.

Guitar Lessons
Arguably one of the most popular instruments in the world, the guitar offers a versatility far beyond almost any other instrument. From country to classical, Spanish to jazz, folk to flamenco, pop to rock, from concert stages to campfires, the guitar holds a place in more homes than any other single instrument. And, it's certainly easier to carry than a piano!

Music Coaching
For the more advanced musicians, master-class level coaching is available for any instrument (and voice), which provides guidance with rhythm, intonation, musicianship, feeling, projection, tone production, delivery, and stage presence.

Student Recitals
Performance opportunities are offered to our deserving students, in both group and solo recitals.

Competitions and Festivals
Students have an opportunity to perform and compete in local and regional festivals and competitions.

Notes from Lenny

Loose Wrists Sink Ships

Loose wrists are one of the most misunderstood attributes associated to playing the piano. On the contrary, when performing you need to be in complete control of your forearms, which of course include your wrists. I was taught this by Keuorilisky, who fingered for Horowitz on occasion, and…Read more...
