BUILDING THE COMPLETE MUSICIAN
With over 9 years teaching experience, Stanford has developed the most comprehensive custom built programs for Piano, Guitar & Singing of which rapidly teach students their instrument and the theory behind their instrument. Students not only learn how to perform on their instrument but also learn about all the other exciting aspects of music and its technology. They also learn how to write songs, record and mix those songs online which ultimately improves their "active listening" abilities. With our programs students will learn to name a few:
-
Music Performance on Piano, Acoustic / Electric Guitar and or Singing
-
Weekly Progress Reports via email for Students & Parents
-
Music Theory (Chords, Scales, Arpeggios, Modes etc.)
-
Warm Up Drills & Technique
-
Instrumental Playing
-
How To Compose Songs
-
Listening Skills
-
How To Perform in a Band
-
Music Production Skills and much more....


HOW MUCH MUST YOU PRACTICE?
Musical ability is not pre-determined and as proven by scientists featured in the book "This Is Your Brain On Music" by Daniel Levitin (Click Here), there is no such thing as a gifted child or person. Anybody can become great if they put their mind to it. Our philosophy makes students believe in themselves and encourages them to be better, while at the same time having fun! Music should never be about competition. Music is about taking part and enjoying yourself. The following videos are a few of our students both as solo performers and an Avalon All Stars Band performance. A) Arnav (15 Years of Age) plays GEMINI by John Petrucci and B) Avalon All Stars perform Hotel California by the Eagles. Practice and you can accomplish anything.
