My name is Brandon Arriola, I spent two years studying classical guitar performance under Mr. Philip Hii at Del Mar College. I currently live in Corpus Christi, Texas. I teach guitar, drums, and piano. Most of my upbringing has centered around the metal and classical genres. Techniques I specialize in are fingerpicking, tapping, and alternate picking. I currently am writing and performing in a local band and have been in several over the past seven years. I have three years of one on one teaching experience. My favorite musicians are Robert Smith, Stephan Carpenter, and Brian Eschbach. The first song I learned how to play on guitar was One by Metallica. I love playing music because it’s a form of self-expression that conveys emotion that other forms of communication cannot. I love teaching because having the ability to introduce students to skill sets and future opportunities is invaluable to me.

Education: University of Maryland Musical Theater Major and Performance Grad 2003 I teach all levels of voice and beginner piano. Its important to ensure that a quality education starts with not just an emphasis on voice or piano but a strong placement with theory. This helps to develop a strong musical foundation to ensure that all students can become marketable musicians. No one student learns the same way, I work to ensure that a developed lesson plan is catered to the individual. No one is without talent, they just haven't been shown how to discover the hidden talents within.

My name is Jose, since I was a child I have had a strong affinity for music. My adventure began when I recruited my neighborhood friends to start a band. We were a three piece outfit called "Let's build a tree." We were a group of kids with music interests ranging from The Beatles, to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Jazz artists like Chick Corea, Chef Baker and Wes Montgomery. Ever since then, I've spent my time cultivating and honing my craft as a guitarist, singer and songwriter. I've studied Music Theory and Sound Engineering at Del Mar College. I have used the tools I learned there to compose, record, mix/master, promote and perform my music for numerous audiences. I specialize in improvising, music theory, song and lyric writing. The genres I'm most well versed in are Jazz, Blues, Indie Rock, Garage Rock and Classic Rock. My goal for all students is to help them find their unique voice on the instrument.
