Services
Are we the right music school for you? Students fly in from Europe and Japan to take lessons with A Dawn Of Music Studios. We offer lessons for all ages and levels in our studio locations, serving all of San Diego County. Group Voice and Guitar Classes are available, as well as live video lessons on Skype.
That question is often asked by prospective students. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach. A seven year old having their first guitar lesson will have very different needs than a fifty seven year old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child.
Our voice teachers primarily focus on popular music but are able to teach classical as well. If you have always wanted to be a better rock, pop, country, jazz, gospel or R&B singer, then we have the right voice teachers for you. Voice students spend time each week doing physical exercises to improve their vocal range, ear training, breath control, vibrato, tone production, enunciation and more.
Our piano teachers teach a variety of styles from classical to popular music. Whether you want to learn Bach or Alicia Keys, our teachers are happy to help you become the pianist you want to be. Our piano faculty will show you the fundamentals of sight reading, technique and theory, but they will also incorporate your favorite songs into your lessons.
Our guitar teachers teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical guitar lessons on acoustic guitars. Beginner students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. We balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always end with something fun such as your favorite riff or song.

I had been taking classes with Miss Elisabeth for about 3 years now and I've grown so much musically! I started off with voice lessons and then added in some ukulele and piano. I was a little slow at picking stuff up, but Miss Elisabeth was so patient. James, one of the studio owners is amazing and passionate about music as well! I absolutely love the recitals too!

Our daughter has been coming here for voice lessons for only about 2 months and has already grown SO much. Ms. Shannon has been amazing with her. Ms. Elizabeth has subbed in a couple of times and I've been blown away by her too. We're beyond happy with this place.

I have been taking piano lessons with Alex for almost 3 years. Cannot say enough about what a great teacher he is. I found a few jazz/funk songs online that I wanted to play and thought it would take years to learn as I never had any musical experience. Within 6 months, I was playing one of them and got exposure to a load of other material including improv, sight reading and more.

He is extremely knowledgable and is able to help bridge the gap between your current experience level and where you want to get to and then some. Highly recommend him and ADOMS! You won't be disappointed!

The staff at ADOMS are amazing and incredible! Not to mention, James is an awesome director! They are very flexible when needing to change your scheduled lessons around and are always willing to assist you with any questions or concerns you have/need. In regards to the lessons being taught, I've only done vocal and save seen major progress. They genuinely care for you to grow as an aspiring artist. I highly recommend this studio!

I started taking lessons this year. Violin lessons. My violin teacher is wonderful! The school is great! I would recommend this school to anyone who is serious about their music! I am an adult student who loves it!

I had a lesson with Alex. He was very good. I am a professional musician from NM and I had specific questions for him. He was knowledgeable, interesting, and patient. He was flexible and able to answer my questions. Definitely worth it!

We have been so happy with A Dawn of Music. My daughter loves taking piano with Miss Nicole and looks forward to every lesson and recital. And now she can't wait to start guitar lessons as well.

I'm Mom to a 9 year old son. Our family's experience with A Dawn of Music Studios has been AMAZING! Customer service was warm and helpful from the very start :) They got us on the schedule right away and have been the perfect balance of consistent and flexible. Such a blessing for a busy family! Teacher is always prompt, warmly engaging and enthusiastic :D Pricing is very competitive and it has been an incredible value (especially considering the QUALITY of instruction we've enjoyed)!

A Dawn of Music Studios' philosophy is very student-centered which I appreciate.she tuned into what motivates my son and used that insight to tailor/customize each lesson to exactly what will get him fired up and challenged. Fantastic! Thank You ADOMS for a continuing wonderful experience for our family!
