Along with these, you will be invited to participate in monthly master classes, where you will share your music with other students to gain confidence in your performing abilities. You can also join us for rock band class on Sundays, group piano class, family music, and community choir to get experience playing music with others.
All our lessons are by appointment. Our teachers are college educated and experienced in the music industry. Your instructor will meet you wherever you are in your musical journey and help you to get to your next best level.
History
Established in 2021.
Rare Spark Lessons started with one teacher in 2021 and has slowly expanded to have several teachers and now a new location with five rooms. The motto "Igniting curiosity for music" has drawn amazing musicians and teachers to help expand and grow this school. We have added several performance opportunities and hope to keep growing into a place where the community can come and play music.
Meet the Business Owner: Christi O.
I strive to ignite curiosity for music. More specifically, I encourage engagement using ludo-pedagogy, neuroscience, and mixed teaching methods. My instruction is adaptable, responsive to each student’s age and ability. I teach because I see positive changes in people’s lives as a result of music engaging every part of their brain.
I wanted to start a school that wasn't locked in a specific genre like rock, blues, or classical. I also wanted to create a community where people could come and feel comfortable singing and playing and a place where students could learn how to further their education and career through hard work, fun, and practice.
Young students have gone to further their education at LVA in high school as well as in college at Juliard, Cal Arts, and Berklee College of Music. The goal with performing in front of and with other musicians is to give students the skills they need to have successful music careers or even hobbies.
