⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “LSM is the most professional private music school that I’ve been able to teach at. They provide structure and support for me as a teacher, and allow me to focus on lesson content and student progress. LSM offers much more than a typical music school, with different programs to help students progress from complete beginner, to intermediate, and all the way to pre-college. Between the recitals, ensembles, group classes, exams, and more we are giving students a comprehensive music education and a community of peers to learn from as well.” – Armando Wood, Little School of Music Instructor
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I first started teaching at Little School of Music in the fall of 2015. I had been teaching for over 30 years, with the last 15 here in Santa Clarita. I was brought on to help with band classes that LSM was providing for a local charter school. At first I took charge of a group of teenage guitar players that were unable to read music, so we formed a guitar ensemble. Later we expanded into more classes with the charter school, including a middle school band, high school jazz ensemble, and some high school rock bands.
It was at this time that I became very impressed with LSM: its mission, facilities, and the work of owner Mindy Cabral in ensuring the highest quality musical experience for both students and staff. One of the highlights of this time was our work in becoming a WASC accredited institution. I soon started teaching private lessons in guitar, bass and uke, and also started directing ensembles consisting of many LSM private instruction students.
The 2020 pandemic provided unique challenges for all music educators, and I feel as though LSM was at the forefront of adapting to online teaching. We had already started organizing lesson plans through Google Drive, and quickly became fluent in using zoom, as well as adapting to the audio requirements that are unique to online music education. It was during this time that Mindy encouraged us to create unique online classes. I developed online improvisation and theory classes that helped fill the performance void for our previous band students.
It’s been wonderful to be a part of a staff school and staff that is so committed to the well-being of their students. Mindy continues to encourage and train the staff in the development of new classes. I’m looking forward to continuing working with the bands and private students, as well as possibly developing some ensembles for adult musicians in the near future.” – Frank Browne, Little School of Music Lead Instructor
