About Us

California Music Studios - Established 1987
Jennifer M. Paterson, Director / Founder / President

History
California Music Studios 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 250 teachers in four counties (San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, & Riverside) in Southern California in 2002. This growth was primarily achieved through positive word of mouth and referrals from our happy students, their parents, and our wonderful teachers.

Mission Statement
We are dedicated to the enrichment of life in your community through the study and appreciation of music. Our one-call service has been designed to simplify the search for qualified and available independently established teachers in your area. The most popular music lessons are piano lessons, voice lessons, and guitar lessons, but we have teachers available for all instruments including violin, flute, and drums. Our 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.
