ISM EXPERIENCE

When it comes to teaching music, our vision here at the Irvine School of Music is different. We empower musical voices. That’s why we don’t sell books or rent instruments. It’s why we cater each and every lesson to each and every musician’s unique goals. Our vision is the music, and from the moment you step inside our studio you’ll feel it.

The faculty is committed to teaching the Irvine School of Music Core Curriculum, which is an integration of healthy technique, listening (aural skills) development, and theoretical knowledge. This strong foundation empowers students with the skills to tackle advanced music as well as a variety of musical idioms, including Classical, Jazz, and Pop.

What makes us stand out is our enrichment programs that are geared towards long term success, which include optional sequenced performance opportunities, unique medal-level programs designed to monitor progress from year to year and incentive programs geared towards motivating students with in-home practice.

Each member of our Faculty is carefully selected based on extensive teaching experience and the ability to work with the specific needs of our students. While music-making is at the heart of the lesson, it is always the unique goals of each student – whether a five-year old beginner piano student, an adult voice student, or budding songwriter – that constitute the focal point of instruction.
