About CMS

Mission Statement
California Music Studios is dedicated to the enrichment of life in my community through the study and appreciation of music. One-call service has been designed to simplify the search for qualified and available independently established teachers in my area. The most popular music lessons are piano, voice & singing, violin, and guitar, but teachers are available for almost any musical instrument. Independently established teachers continue to meet all types of musical needs - from traditional instruction to the latest in the use of electronic and computer equipment.

History
CMS has been dedicated to placing students and teachers together in a musically enriched environment since 1987. Starting in the North County of San Diego, California Music Studios, with Jennifer Paterson at the helm, has grown from a handful of independently established teachers in one county to currently over 300 teachers in four counties (San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, & Riverside) in Southern California. This growth was primarily achieved through positive word of mouth and referrals from our happy students, their parents, and our wonderful teachers.
