Parenting
Parenting is very important when it comes to music lessons.  I might even say that aside from having a great instructor (at a great music school :)), parenting is the most important piece of the puzzle when it comes to success in music. This is a tough position for us.  We want your business.  We want to grow our business.  But when a mom or dad comes in to sign up for lessons, it’s hard...

Powerful
I am continually amazed by the power of music.  It has the power to bring you to tears, make you want to conquer the world, and make you want to call your mom.  Sometimes all within one song! Music is much, much bigger than the sum of it’s parts.  It’s not triads and strings.  It’s not scales and time signatures.  No, these things are merely the vehicle through which music is...

Music
Music is one of the pure joys of life.  It is one of the few areas of life that can communicate universal truths without a single word.  I know this sounds trite, but it’s true.  There are just so few things in life that bring joy like music does.  Music can speak to us and make us feel united.  It can express our depravity in ways mere words cannot. To us, life needs music.  This is why...

We Love Our Teachers
Sometimes we just need to recognize our teachers.  The amount of pride we feel because of our faculty here at Savannah is enormous, and grows every day.  Simply put, they’re the best.  They’ve worked very hard to get where they are, and work just as hard for their students.  They are our brand, they are our service, and they are the reason we are known as the highest quality music...

Curriculum
We have come to see curriculum as integral to the learning experience as the instructor.  Without a great curriculum, music students in general can become bored and end their musical journey.  We know of what we speak, because we ourselves were once these students, taking lessons because mom and dad made us, and quitting as soon as possible.   So the staff here at Savannah spends a lot of time...

Baseball Is Almost Over!
There really isn’t a better time to get started with lessons than when the baseball season ends, leaving families with time to pursue other interests.  So give us a call and reserve a lesson time today!  (714)661-5782.

Peaks and Valleys
We’ve been open for two years and three days.  On March 15 2008, we opened our doors with a great Grand Opening celebration.  Many students signed up that day, and many of them are still with us today.  It’s been an amazing journey.  As a small business in this economy, we’ve been presented with challenges that we may not have faced 5 or 10 years ago.  We are so proud of...

What We've Learned So Far
We’ve been here in Yorba Linda for two years now.  While we’ve learned a lot about business, teaching, and how the two are best combined, there is one universal truth that has been our most prominent lesson: Quality is in the details. We have realized that attention to detail is everything when it comes to business, and of course music.  What makes that certain melody so perfect?...

Hard Work
It’s kind of funny what we do here.  We offer services that require the patron to work hard.  In that sense, we’re like a personal trainer.  But we’ve come to realize that without structured hard work, our services aren’t worth much.  So with that in mind, we’ve begun to think of ways to make the hard part of learning an instrument easier and more fun.  If the...

We were so excited to have found this!  For a long time, we’ve all thought that this band was one of the best around.  I personally was shocked to learn that they weren’t put together by a producer, rather they formed just like every other band.  I think they’re great because, of course, their music is just fantastic.  But moreover, their message is a rare one in this day and...

Why we're different
We’ve been in this world for a while now.  We’ve all taught at different schools before we started Savannah, and we know this business well.  Here’s what makes us different from the rest of the schools out there: passion.  This is our plan A.  Most places have teachers who are just needing some cash until they get their big break.  Teaching is not even plan B.  It’s more...

What we're really all about
At some point over the last two years, we realized something.  It was paradigm shifting, as it’s implications were powerful and far reaching.  We realized that we aren’t actually about music lessons.  We’re about values.  Traditional values.  Family, self-discipline, hard work and fun. Now don’t get me wrong.  On one level, we are all about music lessons.  Teaching is what...

How To Approach Music Lessons
We think we’ve figured out a way to approach putting your kids in music lessons.  You need to make a deal with them.  Wether they are ecstatic about the possibility of taking lessons, or you’ve dragged them kicking and screaming through our door, you must make a deal with them. Commit to a specific amount of time, say 6 -12 months, during which your son or daughter will stick with...
